The Fusil-Mitrailleur (FM) Model 1922 is a classic weapon with a fixed stock, pistol grip, and wooden handguard.

Both the cocking handle and ejection port is located on the right side.

The FM's caliber varied with the user, being chambered in a wide range of calibres and fed from either 20-round overhead magazines (Spanish model) or an extended[citation needed] feed strip.

Its maximum range is 2,000 meters, and it had a regulator mechanism that would allow the user to adjust the rate of fire.
