The French MAT 1955 prototype rifle featured a unique gear-ratio-accelerated short recoil system, intended to delay bolt opening. Despite innovative design elements like a spigot grenade launcher and dial aperture sight, it proved fragile and inaccurate in trials. Ultimately, the MAS 49/56 was adopted instead, highlighting the MAT 1955's developmental shortcomings.

The Madsen LMG features a complex, short-recoil operated mechanism with a unique pivoting bolt, unlike typical striker-fired machine guns. Its design, compared to historical firearms like the Martini-Henry and Spencer shotgun, allows for modular disassembly of the barrel and bolt as a single unit. The weapon utilizes a hammer-fired system and bottom ejection, with a specialized 'Unload' selector for safe clearing of live rounds.
