how to use advance and fire?

[Prussian to the Iron]

what do you mean probably not? its either bolt-action or it isnt. is it that hard to tell if hey are shoving a stick in the muzzel or pulling a bolt?

i am no weapons expert, but i believe the winchester was the first boltaction. though since it has a different bolt-action than others (pulling down the handle rather than lifting, pulling, pushing, and lowering the bolt) i dont know if t would be clasified under bolt-action.

ok, wikipedia says it can go either way, but is usually clasified under pump-action or lever-action. the Martini-Henry rifle was very similar to a winchester, wth the lever-action design and similar sized cartridge.

for more info on the weapons of the Anglo-Zulu war's, go to the zulu (movie) page in wikipedia and go to historical innacuracies. then down to weapons.

Easy trigger. There are many more actions than muzzle load or bolt. For instance the Martini very well may have been a breech-loader. Also consider the Mannlicher Steyr )Used by the Austro-Hungarians) which was a straight pull bolt. Additionally the lever actions remain very different in nature.

My primary interest in firearms starts from the variants used in WWII and works backwards. The martini does not fall into my area of interest because the Biritish developed such a fine rifle at such an early time.
