I thought of this one over the weekend. Starting with the POD of 1860 have two of the following nations: France, Belgium, the Netherlands or Russia be armed with semiautomatic rifles as the standard issue rifle on par with the United States between the years 1936 and 1942.

Also as a side note what would the effect of this be in world war two? Would it have slowed the Nazis down or no?
