Weapon BackgroundEdit
The Ribeyrolles 1918 was an attempt to manufacture an automatic rifle for French forces during the First World War. Its official name was 'Carabine Mitrailleuse 1918' (Machine Carbine 1918 in English).
The Ribeyrolles featured a direct blow-back action, and was chambered for experimental 8×35mm rounds fed from a 25 round magazine. The gun itself had a stated effective range of 400 meters. The cartridge, arguably the first purpose-built intermediate cartridge ever produced, was created by necking down .351 Winchester.[1] The gun was fitted with a lightweight bipod for shooting while prone or at the edge of a trench, and could mount a rifle bayonet identical to that of a Berthier Model 1907/15.[2]
Due to numerous mechanical issues plaguing the design, the Carabine Mitrailleuse 1918 was ultimately rejected by the French military and never saw service during the war.
Character Design
The design of Ribeyrolles was intended to call to mind both a hospital patient and a French soldier of her era: her outfit is colored like a French uniform, while also calling to mind a patient's smock. She doesn't wear shoes and has a small blood pack hooked up to her, adding to her sickly appearance. Her pale complexion makes her look anemic, and often her hair is tousled like she just woke up.

Trivia
- The Ribeyrolles 1918 was rejected by the French military in WWI because of several key design flaws:
- The weapon was found to be inaccurate beyond 400m, which meant that it wasn't suitable for long-range engagements but very effective for trench ambush.
- Despite being a carbine and not a full-length rifle, the Ribeyrolles was incredibly heavy at 5.1 kg (11 lbs), which hampered the maneuverability of the weapon. The weapon was heavy even when compared to WWII semi-auto rifles such as the RF G43 G43 and RF SVT-38 SVT-38 .
- There is a theory behind Ribeyrolles' appearance being reminiscent of a sickly hospital patient:
- It could serve as a reference to the massive number of casualties that French forces suffered during World War I, as losses for the French military totaled 1,300,000 dead and 4,200,000 wounded over the course of the war.
- The outfit she wears also resembles the uniform sported by French forces in the Franco-Prussian War, in which the French were defeated and suffered 750,000 (including 138,871 dead, 143,000 wounded, and 474,414 captured or interned) total losses.
- The song Ribeyrolles sings when placed at the Bunny Microphone furniture is 'Le Papillon' composed by Nicolas Errèra. This tune was also sung by Michel Serrault y Claire Bouanich for the movie 'Le Papillon' (2002).
