[edit]DescriptionThe fighting weapons of seven warring powers (Popular science monthly 1916).jpg |
English: From : Popular science Monthly, Vol 89, no. 6, December 1916, The fighting weapons of seven warring powers, page 824.
The Austrian rifle is the lightest of all, yet its bullet, 244 grains, is the heaviest used by any of the powers. It is very rapid in action. The British rifle is the outcome of the South African War. It holds ten cartridges and is sighted from 200 to 2,800 yards. The French Lebel is the longest rifle. The tube magazine under the barrel holds eight cartridges. The bullet used in it weighs 198 grains. The Belgian Mauser of 1889 holds five cartridges carried in clips; it cannot be used as a single loader. It weighs over eight pounds. The Russian rifle is 7 in. longer than the British. It is capable of firing 24 bullets to the minute. The bayonet is always fixed. The Italian Mannlicher-Carcano is of the 1891 pattern. It is rather slow, discharging but fifteen rounds of shot a minute. |
