The tactical edge expected from the Chauchat was to increase the infantry's offensive firepower during the assault.
As a result, the Chauchats in 8 mm Lebel continued to be used by the A.E.F. until supplies of the newly manufactured and vastly superior Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) were allocated sparingly and late, during the Meuse-Argonne offensive (September 1918).
A number of captured Chauchats were used by German frontline infantrymen because they had no light machine guns of their own until the portable Maxim MG08-15's were issued to them during early 1917.

  Chauchat
The reason for the supremacy of the machine gun on the WWI battlefield was the ability to lay down a constant hail of bullets against the inevitable human wave attacks.
When the Americans realized how pathetic the Chauchat was, legend has it they disasembled the guns and used the parts for mundane tasks like tent poles, and relied on their bolt action rifles instead for actual fighting.
Over 5000 Chauchats were donated to Finland and were used for lack of anything better during the Winter War and Continuation War against Russia.

 First World War.com - Encyclopedia - Chauchat Gun
Developed in 1907 (and revised in 1915) the Chauchat weighed around 10kg; its lightness ensured that it was the French infantry's predominant close-support weapon.
It is estimated that 250,000 8mm Chauchats were produced during the war using revolutionary new metal stamping techniques - making it the most widely manufactured automatic weapon of the war - and that 50,000 remained in operation within the French Army at the end of the war.
The Chauchat was also adopted by other Allied armies in spite of a somewhat poor reputation; in trench conditions it was regarded as unreliable, with dirt entering via the magazine.

Chauchat starts with a just-short-of-interminable fidget session between the two live performers: a guy and a gal, seated in two chairs, shifting, small-stretching, hand-folding, tentatively looking at each other as if there's a wall of, if not tension, discomfort between them.
Chauchat, hitching her butt just right, mirrors the star perched on the edge of a sofa.
But Chauchat just ran it out at interminable length, where this devolved into one of those dances where you kept thinking it had ended, with members of the audience commencing to clap half in appreciation and half in relief.

 Chauchat - Definition, explanation
The Chauchat (pronounced 'show-shah'), from a design by Hungarian Rudolph Frommer, was the primary French light machine gun of World War I, first introduced in 1907.
The performance of the M1917.30-06 Chauchat was far worse than the original and it was unceremoniously dumped by the troops to which it was issued.
Over 5,000 Chauchats were donated to Finland and were used, for lack of anything better, during the Winter War and Continuation War against Russia.

 Chauchat - Free net encyclopedia
The Chauchat was built of a rather shoddy stamped metal construction and of such poor quality that oftentimes its parts were not interchangeable between guns, meaning that a new gun could not be assembled from the parts of two others.
The performance of the M1917.30-06 Chauchat was even worse than the original Chauchat and not surprisingly it was soon unceremoniously dumped by the troops who used it.
Following the war it was alleged that the adaptation of the Chauchat design for US.30-06 rounds had used incorrect measurements but in any case the radical differences in size, shape, impulse and power of the 8 mm Lebel and.30-06 US rounds would explain the disastrous performance of the M1917.30-06 Chauchat.

The Chauchat is built of inferior metal, and thus the moving parts wore out very fast.
The Chauchat thus literally shook itself to pieces as it was fired.
If you force the players or NPCs to use a Chauchat, for whatever cruel reason, the GM should assign the weapon a 1 in 20 chance per round of firing of jamming for seemingly no reason at all.

Although it is set in a nice restored colonial house, the Museum of Archaeology, Paleontology and History of Trujillo, an important town on the Northern coast of Peru, doesn't seem to be able to hold a candle to big national institutions.
And, for the third year, Claude Chauchat has come to spend a month and a half excavating a small 50x30m platform, oriented East-West, at the foot of this huaca.
Despite three seasons of excavation, there are still numerous doubts about this platform where Chauchat has been excavating, particularly because its structure (an access ramp, rooms, small walls, tombs) seems to reproduce the one of the Huaca de la Luna in a smaller size.

 FINNISH ARMY 1918 - 1945: LIGHT MACHINEGUNS PART 2
While French were able to issue Chauchat in large number during World War 1 and it was certainly better than no light machinegun at all, it also proved to be quite poor military weapon and the inexperience of manufacturer was not the only reason for this.
While also other early light machineguns had their own share of issues Chauchat was the one, which once the better light machineguns were introduced became obsolete practically in record time.
This was so late that Chauchat were not issued to Finnish troops during Winter War, but during early part of Continuation War even some unfortunate front-line units got these issued as their light machineguns.

If I got the backstory right, Chauchat began as a solo outlet for Pennsylvania (I think) singer/songwriter Tyler Whitney, and has now been expanded to include various other troubadours such as Erik Sahd on drums and Pascal Troemel on additional vocals and piano in this instance.
Upon reading that Chauchat had made fans/friends out of folks like the Mountain Goats and Bright Eyes (Bright Eyes?!), I grew - to put it mildly - somewhat skeptical.
The strongest Chauchat songs I've heard yet, too--great invisible-rock anthems and curling-inside-themselves acoustic songs that end up with me singing "rehabilitate tradition" over and over again in off-white endless Gresham.
