The French Berthier Mousqueton Modèle 1892 is a compact carbine featuring a Mannlicher-style en-bloc clip system for its 3-round capacity. Despite its handy size (37.2 inches, 6.8 lbs), firing the 8mm Lebel cartridge results in significant recoil. Criticisms include its limited capacity, susceptibility to mud, and reliance on clips.
