Ignorance!!
Mr. Hakentt, you have just demonstrated the old saying, about opening your mouth and telling the whole world about your complete ignorance of Mexican Gunmaking History.
("One can be quiet, and seem a fool, or one can open his mouth, and confirm it.").
Mexico , besides being the FIRST Latin American country to set up a Rifle-making Plant (in 1910,) and an ammo plant (soon after) also had several world-class Arms designers in its service.
The rifle factory also improved the original M1910 rifle/carbine serteis,, in the 1930s, with the M1936, which cobined some features of the US Springfield m1903, in a 24 inch barrel Rifle. After WW II, they also modified this further to make a 30/06 version.
Mondragon and Mendoza are two of the famous designers...Mondragon had his designs ( rapid fire straight pulls, new cartridges, and a Semi-auto carbine) made in Europe ( 1890s-1908), and his M1908 was adopted and used widely by the Germans in WW I, who even developed a large-capacity snail drum mag for it ("FliegerSelbsLaderKarabiner M1915") in 7x57 for aircraft and balloon use, (it was too fine a gun for Ground(trench)Use).
Mondragon also was one of the designers of the French 75mm M1897 quick firing artillery piece. Whilst developing his straight pulkl rifles in the 1890s, he spent time at the Puteaux Arsenal, in the outskirts of Paris, the R&D facility of France's Artillery Service...where he would have seen some of the STA semi-auto rifle developments of the late 1890s and early 1900s.
Mendoza developed an LMG (RM-1) machine rifle) in both 7mm and 30/06, an extension of Browning's BAR. Several other Mexican Arms designers developed "machine Pistol" conversions for Star and Colt .45 Pistols, and also some Submachine guns. Lately they have designed and adopted a new Assault rifle, (see 2008 editions of SAR).
Incapable of rifle design and manufacture indeed!!!!
