The standard infantry rifle (as indicated in a previous update) is a lever action rifle, which given the sort of ammo used by the UK would likely be an alt-
Winchester M1895. Furthermore, something tells me that the LMG in use would be something like
THIS, since it's lighter than a Lewis Gun and belt-feedable to boot (I know the timeframe doesn't match up, to which my reply would be that the overall tech level seems to be ahead of OTL, although I may be mistaken). Other than that, I'd imagine most Southron kit would be that of Britain's. Thoughts?
