Gewehr 71/84

Description

In 1884, the Gewehr 71 was modified to include an 8-round tubular magazine, making this Germany's first repeating rifle.

Note: The maximum calculated barrel length for this ammunition is 23 cm. The historical barrel length was 85.5 cm, and this was used in this design. However, all calculations for muzzle energy, damage, range and recoil were generated using the 23 cm value.
