The Huot Automatic Rifle in reality
The Huot Automatic Rifle is a light machine gun that was developed by Joseph Huot in 1916 during World War I. It is an automatic conversion of the Canadian Ross straight-pull bolt action rifle. The war ended before the weapon entered service into the Canadian Army and only four are known to have been built.[1]

- This item has a Codex entry: Huot Automatic Rifle
— In-game description
The Huot Automatic is a weapon featured in Battlefield 1 for the Support kit.
Singleplayer
In Through Mud and Blood and Nothing Is Written, the Huot Automatic Optical can be obtained from weapon crates.
Multiplayer
There are two variants available for Multiplayer: Low Weight and Optical.
The Huot Automatic Low Weight features a bipod, can easily regain accuracy due to its low weight and has a 25 round drum magazine. Compared to other light machine guns, it is almost identical to the Lewis Gun, but trades accuracy for control. Despite this, whether the bipod is being used or not, the Huot has excellent recoil control, making targeted suppressive fire and headshots easier to achieve.
It should be noted that it uses the Lewis Gun's version of the AA sights.
The Huot Automatic Optical is unlocked by obtaining 300 kills with the Low Weight variant and performing 25 kills the Limpet Charges.
