| Notes | The classic Lee-Enfield rifle served the British well through two world wars and the Korean War. The SMLE (Short Magazine Lee Enfield) No. 1 Mk. III made its name in World War One and combined with ability of the British soldiers skill in firing up to thirty aimed shots a minute made the Germans think that they were on the receiving end machine gun fire. It had a smooth bolt-action which allowed for rapid fire. It could also hold up to ten rounds, which was double what its rivals could hold. |
