Austria-Hungary is a country with almost no sense of existence in the eyes of China people, but it was a huge empire that ruled Europe for a period of time in modern history.
Austria-Hungary, as its name implies, originated from the compromise plan of Austria-Hungary in 1867, and was established by the Habsburg ruling kingdom. It is a very wonderful dual monarchy country. But today we are not talking about history, just shooting.
1867, rifles have almost reached the era of line bore, afterloading and metal fixation. At that time, the rifles of Austria and Hungary were still obviously behind other countries, such as the main standard rifle of the army or Oaka Lorenz.
Although it has been fired with a fire cap, it is also a rifling gun. But it's still muzzle loaded, and the .54 caliber warhead is not a mine bomb. If you insert it from the muzzle, you have to wrap a circle of oil paper at the end of the bullet. The launch speed is very slow.
Although they also changed some Lorenz rifles into breech valve locking at that time, it was useless. The repackaging of fire caps and such warheads is out of date. When Puao was playing the beam, Puao took this thing and was shot dead by Dreiser Kuanzhe of Prussia.
After the formation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, of course, I couldn't stand Lorenz, so I designed the Vaughndale rifle.
It is an only-child rifle that fires 1 1×42mm metal cartridge (later changed to 1 1x58mm). The breech is turned over and locked, and the rifle is pin-striking. If nothing else, the locking ability brought by the metal magazine alone can hang Dreiser. This batch of Vaughndale was still used in small quantities during the First World War.
At 1886, due to the influence of American tubular magazine rifles, many European countries began to try to use this design of renju rifles (almost all rifles were single-handed before). However, considering the large capacity of the tubular magazine, Austria-Hungary designed a Manlixia M 1886, which was the first rifle that used the magazine for ammunition replenishment. And it was a straight gun machine, which was also the first time at that time.
But its bolt is bit 2, not a bolt lock, but a rail lock. This hand rifle is not very good.
However, 1886 is a watershed for light weapons. At that time, the French developed the first Lebel 1886 with smokeless powder as propellant. Austria-Hungary quickly changed Manlixia 1886 to Manlixia 1888 which fired 8x52mm smokeless powder.
Its structure is similar to that of 1886, but 1886 is black powder. Its rails can withstand black powder, but it is not easy to eat smokeless powder. Therefore, Manlixia 1888 has poor locking ability and poor security.
The helpless Austro-Hungarian Empire can only modify it again, changing the latch of the card-iron take-off and landing type to rotary locking. And the finished product is Manlixia M 1895.
Because the previous two Manlixia rifles used straight pull, 1895 operated straight pull, although the nose was locked by rotation. The rotating process is realized by the inclined guide groove on the frame and the bolt machine.
However, this straight pull structure is not resistant to dirt, and dust stuck in the guide groove is prone to moths. In addition, it uses a leak clip. After the magazine is finished, the magazine should be thrown out from under the magazine. So the bottom of the magazine is empty, and it is easy to get dirty, which further deteriorates the reliability. So this kind of bolt-and-leak clip was not used by many people after World War I.
Then it disappeared, and Austria-Hungary died after World War I. It is said that they 19 12 arrived, copied Mao Se Gew98, made a batch of Steyr M 19 12, and played 7x57 Spanish Mao Se bombs (Mao Se is really a mess ...).
