    WI: U.S. Military Learns Fire and Movement by Late 1890s

    The Army major felt a chill run down his spine as he saw yet another British soldier fall a hundred yards away. He was embedded with a Boer commando near Gordon's Knoll. The main Boer force was dug in at Laing's Nek, but their commandos were on the offensive. The Boers could not only outshoot...

    WI: France Gets a Semiauto Rifle and/or Automatic Rifle by 1940

    Two French guns ahead of their time: the Ribeyrolles-Sutter-Chauchat 1918 short rifle, and the Ribeyrolles 1918 automatic rifle. The French switched from 8mm caliber to 7.5mm in 1924 (and then to a 54mm case in '29). Let's suppose they modify both weapons to take a 7.5×35mm cartridge (call it...

    WI: Earlier SWAT Teams

    After the Race Riot of '43, Detroit PD formed a unit within the Motor Traffic Bureau called the Commandos. These guys would respond to situations that might otherwise have required the National Guard. The Commandos, to my knowledge, were rarely—if ever—used for anything other than riot control...

    .28 Carbine

    What if the Winchester G30 was scaled down for a smaller, more powerful cartridge than the .30 Carbine, and this became the M1 carbine? What if a rifle was made based on this carbine, and this became America's next service rifle, to be refined and upgraded over the decades? 1938 The Army...
