Re: PunitorMaximus' Russo-Turkish War of 1877/78 Mod
I will say at this point that the usual battle rate of fire for a martini henry was about 5 shots a minute in concentrated fire rather than 12, due to the insane amount of smoke (and the recoil). It could easily be done with 12 spm (even more in a British style mad minute), but after the first few you really wouldn't hit much unless you were at point blank range. It also jammed when fired that fast as the breech would get so hot the rolled brass cartridge would get soft and get stuck (and soldiers would burn the tips of their fingers as well).
