Paradoxically, probably the first army to introduce a self-loading rifle into its arsenal, as early as 1911, was the insignificant army of Mexico. In 1908, Mexican General Mondragon designed a rifle working on the principle of taking steam gases from the barrel. The production of these weapons was commissioned by the Mexican government to the Swiss armory in Neuhausen. In the meantime, a revolution took place in Mexico and so part of the order remained in Switzerland. At the beginning of the First World War, about 3,000 of these rifles were bought by Germany as equipment for air observers.
