Soldier's life depends on how reliable and quality is its equipment. Especially his personal weapon. Firearms are very dynamic pace during the XIX and XX centuries. In this process it has happened quite a few mistakes. Most of them were small and therefore easily overlooked. Another thing, if the light went out frankly disastrous pattern.
1. chauchat
Here is one of the first light machine guns, which are produced in France by "Gladiator", specializing to the First World War on the creation of a bike. Weapons supplied to the army of France and the United States. Before the advent of the first delay (and in ideal conditions) this mountain gun could make only 300 shots. The trenches of the First World War, where soldiers were drowned in blood and dirt, were not thereby place with "ideal conditions". In addition, the gun had a terrible ergonomics.
2. Nambu
During the Second World War millitaristicheskaya Japan took a big leap forward in the development of the Air Force. But hopelessly lagged behind in the development of ground weapons. Pistol "Nambu" was created specifically for the Japanese officers. Externally weapon like a Luger P-08, but does not remember this, but one of the worst indicators of ergonomics in the history of firearms. In addition, the gun was very weak spring. She often broke down, but because all the officers had a spare.
3. Gewehr 41
World War II soldiers of the Reich met with a rifle Mauser 98k, which went down in history as one of the best in its class. However, progress is not standing still, and very soon the command decided to equip infantry something more rate of fire. The new rifle Gewehr 41 did not meet expectations as to get too capricious and complicated (both in production and in operation). At the same weapon was almost a kilogram heavier Mauser 98k, slower been charged and was poorly balanced.

4. 1855 Colt Revolving Rifle
In the XIX century, the American engineer Samuel Colt created a six-shooter with a fast recharging. The design was so successful that quickly became the standard for this type of weapon. After that, the inventor tried to move the applied solutions to the revolver Colt six-gun in 1855 Revolving Rifle. Unfortunately for him nothing good comes out of this attempt failed. Rifle turned overtly threatening needle itself due to the specific design of the drum cartridges and the threat of detonation.
5. Colt 2000
This brand Colt pistol became unsuccessful and much belated attempt of the company to respond to the rapid development of the market Glock products. Despite the fact that over the gun worked really talented gunsmiths of our time - Reed Knight and Eugene Stoner, of 2000 design has received extremely unreliable, albeit concept gun and was quite good. He produced the "Colt" from 1991 to 1994.
