It weighed around a pound less than its equally lengthy peers and was slim and almost delicate by comparison. The soldiers who carried it appreciated its light weight but the Allied soldiers facing the M95 in the icy Alps and trenches took note of its high rate of fire compared to their turn-bolt action guns. The M95 was capable of 30\u201335 rounds a minute while turn-bolt actions were generally limited to 15\u201320 shots a minute. The simplicity of the straight-pull\u2019s forward-backward bolt operation certainly made it easier to master than a turn-bolt action, which requires twice the number of motions to cycle. In addition, the upward motion to lift a cock-on-opening bolt handle \u2014 for example the Lebel, Berthier, M1903 Springfield, Carcano \u2014 is physically more difficult and more disruptive to the aim. The British SMLE, which cocked on the forward stroke like the Mannlicher, was the M95\u2019s closest rival in speed of operation.&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUSTRIA-HUNGARY\u2019S M-95 Rifle &nbsp; &#8220;The M95 proved itself one of the finest battle rifles of the First World War.
