Fun fact: The Ribeyrolles 1918 isn't actually a submachine gun, it's an automatic Carbine, though it's considered the first ever assault rifle by some. Would I say the STG-44 was the first ever assault rifle? Well it was an assault rifle, but I kinda agree with the first ever assault rifle being the Ribeyrolles. I really want to say the Fedorov Avtomat, but that sort of was a Light Machine Gun, but more like an Automatic Rifle, though it was mostly fired in Semiautomatic due to it's habit of overheating.
Yeah there's some discussion about what constitutes the first 'assault rifle', and it usually comes down to either the Fedorov or the Ribeyrolles. Both select-fire weapons, using intermediate cartridges, fed by detachable box magazines. Funny to think that while we only have 3 photographs of the elusive Hellriegel, supposedly there's only one photo of the Ribeyrolles! Wonder if there are still some classified documents somewhere in the French administration that have photos of the Ribey...
@@Foddeur If that is the case, my question is why are they classified to begin with? The project was abandoned a long time ago, so why keep it hidden? Same with the Hellriegel.
I believe it's to do with the way the French government and civil service work - unlike other nations where documents automatically become declassified after a certain time has elapsed, in France you have to wait for both the timespan to elapse AND actively make a request to declassify a document. I know Ian from Forgotten Weapons hasn't had much luck finding info about the Ribeyrolles, and he's been in touch with a lot of archives and researchers in France regarding French weaponry.
@@Foddeur Actually, the Fedorov Avtomat used full-powered rounds so it fell more in the class of the battle rifle, something like the modern FAL or SCAR rifles. The Ribey had all the features of an assault rifle: mag-fed, selective fire capability and an intermediate round.
I prefer the optical version, because it has less spread (except hip spread which is worse), but on the other hand it has problems that go beyond the visual recoil (as far I remember, the optical variants have a slower ads time than the factory variants, less spread and recoil decrease). But overall I prefer this version, as the Ribeyrolles is the assault weapon that can best play a role at medium/long range and this variant helps to extend the effective distance without using the bipod.
So you're claiming that you've killed 40 thousand people with the gun and you're struggling to do couple headshots with another optical weapon? How long have you been playing?
If I do, it'll purely be by chance! These kinda videos just happen because I feel like using a particular weapon in BF1 and decide to see how they play - been on a bit of an Assault kick recently!
The bayonet imposes a 50% recovery penalty after sprinting, basically increasing the amount of time it takes for you to come out of a sprint and begin firing.
I'd rather not have a 50% penalty to recovering after a sprint - I prefer a quicker response with the weapon itself than trying to chance the Bayonet Charge with its questionable hit detection...
Plus the bayonet sticks through walls if your face is right up against a wall with the enemy on the other side, and sticks out through bushes. Found quite a few enemies through this.

@@Foddeur So do you know what kind of request would it take to persuade the French government to declassify this info?

Great stuff man keep up the great work!
I have almost 4 service stars with the optical variant. I just unlocked the factory variant. Unlocking that was hell. Lol.
Headshot kills with the MP-18 Optical - I remember the pain I went through with that aspect of the assignment back when the French DLC dropped!
It took me like a month to unlock it. I like the factory variant better now.
So you're claiming that you've killed 40 thousand people with the gun and you're struggling to do couple headshots with another optical weapon? How long have you been playing?
@@Lefiath I meant 4 service stars. I made a typo. Lol. I have about 300 hours on this game.
as always great video.
Underrated Weapon
People always seem to say this about crap weapons. I bet there is that one guy who would unironically claim kolibri is underrated.
@@Lefiath But the Ribeyrolles is really a good weapon to use
Maybe I should try this out more. I took the Infantry version to 100 in less then 100 hours and it seems pretty fun as well!
the optical bounce gave me cancer :'( Good clips!
I love this gun, but I don’t like so much this variant because you can use it just with the bipod
How about peacekeeper only video?
Good！❤
Are you planning on doing this for every primary weapons?

Does the bayonet somehow affect the quality of shooting?
The bayonet imposes a 50% recovery penalty after sprinting, basically increasing the amount of time it takes for you to come out of a sprint and begin firing.
also more horizontal spread when shooring
@@Foddeur didn't knew that has an effect on weapons.
Do you recommend not using them?
>no bayonet
Meh.
