This attachment was developed to allow infantry to dramatically increase their rate of fire while on the move, while also allowing the rifle to be used in conventional bolt action mode for long-range fire from the trenches.Production had just ramped up when the war ended and the Pedersen device ended up in storage after the war. A 1920 testing program in Panama was critical of the awkwardness of conversion in combat and of the weight of the rifle with the belt carrying the Pedersen device and ammunition magazines. Fewer than 100 Pedersen devices escaped ordered destruction to become extremely rare collectors' items."@en }
