The original design did not anticipate it being carried up jungle-covered mountains on men's backs, but such was the weapon's popularity that men were generally content to pack it to all manner of difficult locations.
Det oprindelige design forudså ikke at det skulle bæres op af jungleklædte bjerge på ryggen af mænd, men våbenet var så populært, at mænd generelt var tilfredse med at bære det til alle mulige vanskelige steder.
