I'm saying, I don't know if this would be a fun conversation to have just specifically for World War I, but logistically, the fucking mess that is Tsarist Russia and then the Soviet Union.
Because, yeah, again, once you get to World War I, their logistics are so fucked up that they have rifles that they can't get into the hands of the people that need them.
