In the Legion you make do… That is how legionnaires have always known how to get the best out of the weapons issued to them.

This work presents all the small arms used by legionnaires from 1831 to the present day. The author peppers his account with numerous anecdotes illustrating how these elite soldiers put them to use. He also covers marksmanship training and the Legion's particular ethos in the management of its weapons.
