User blog:Wardie1993/No "Springfield M1903 Infantry" variant?

One of the odd things I find about Battlefield 1 is that there isn't an Infantry variant of the M1903 Springfield in multiplayer, I find this odd because there's an Infantry variant of every other scout rifle, and an Infantry variant of the Springfield actually appears in the single player mission Storm of Steel, anyone have any theories as to why the Infantry variant of the Springfield doesn't appear in multiplayer?
