Well they made it from poor quality of steel and for some reason the ******* who decided on the magizene thought a open magizene would be good for it XD minded that most of the westren front was mud,dirt,etc. If they would have corrected that im sure it would have preformed sumewhat decent

I am not sure right now, but wasn't this weapon impossible to shoot?

It was better than not having any squad level automatic weapon. The alternatives were... well, none. The Madsen was costly and didn't use the Lebel ammo, and the workshops in Belgium where the Lewis Gun was initially built got overrun by the Germans. Keep in mind that enormous amounts of those were manufactured as early as 1915. It gave an early advantage in squad level mobile firepower which you can't get from having just bolt-action rifles.

The downside was that it required meticulous maintenance to keep it from jamming... an hellish endeavour in mud filled trenches.

Than being said, this is an awesome render of the weapon ;)
