The M1867 Werndl–Holub was a single-shot breechloading rifle that the Austro-Hungarian army adopted in 1867. It replaced the Wanzl breechloader conversion of the muzzle-loading Lorenz rifle. Josef Werndl (1831-1889) and Karel Holub (1830-1903) designed and patented their design; Werndl later bought out all the rights. ŒWG (Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft) produced the Werndl and chambered it for the ''11mm scharfe Patrone M.67'' (11.15×42R) cartridge. In 1877 the military rechambered the Werndl for the bottleneck ''11mm scharfe Patrone M.77'' (11.15×58mmR) cartridge. In spite of the Werndl being long obsolete by World War I, the Austro-Hungarian forces issued Werndl rifles to rear-echelon units to free up more modern rifles for use by front-line troops.〔 ==See also== * Weapons of the Austro-Hungarian Empire * Mannlicher M1886 - the next Austro-Hungarian service rifle 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Werndl–Holub rifle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
