The poor old P-14 was treated as "the dodgy cousin that nobody wants in their house" and rapidly offloaded to the outer colonies or "emerging states" post WW1.

So many were given away / dumped at sea etc, that when the next "great unpleasantness" started, those at the low end of the logistic food chain often found themselves clutching a "pike" (bayonet on a broomstick), or if they were "lucky", an American-donated M-17, for which there was, of course, no ammo.

Australiaicon used the odd P-14 in the "value-added package" form of the No3T sniper rifle, earning some fame on Timor.
