    Whilst the writer of the following article dismisses this claim battlefield archeologists did find a significant number of discarded rifles on the battlefield of islandwana with cartridges jammed in their breechblocks.

    Yeah, as the other posts mentioned. I had forgotten about it. Pre-bolt action similar to a Winchester, no?

    All this talk about 19th century weapons is having me hoping for an expansion. So much good material. Napoleon, Mexican-American War, Crimean War, American Civil War, Franco-Prussian War. Plus all the colonial conflicts and battles between the Russians and Turks.

    "Sit now there, and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come to those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien
