The Tredegar Automatic Rifle was one of the primary Confederate infantry weapons during the Second Great War. The Tredegar Automatic Rifle was designed in an attempt to offset the numerical superiority that the United States Army had on the battlefield. The theory was that if every Confederate was armed with an automatic weapon, they would be more than able to face superior numbers of US Soldiers. The Tredegar Automatic Rifle was fed with a twenty-five round magazine.
