The Pedersen Device, officially the Model 1918 .30 caliber automatic pistol, was a secret WWI weapon designed to convert the Springfield 1903 rifle into a semi-automatic firearm. It utilized a 40-round magazine and fired a unique 80-grain projectile at 1300 fps, intended for the 1919 Spring Offensive. Specialized web gear was issued for carrying the device and its magazines, with conversion involving replacing the rifle's bolt.
