Funny to see this compared to real firearms. The Soma's appearance is indeed reminiscent of the French Chauchat, but it's function is also reminiscent of the Hotchkiss. The Hotchkiss machine gun is another WWI firearm and uses a rigid feed strip that feeds in full from one side and moves through the receiver as the gun fires until it is ejected, empty, from the other side.
