NotesThe M95 was designed by Mannlicher and built under licence by the Dutch firm Hemburg. When first introduced it was a modern bolt-action rifle but was showing its age in 1940. It remained in service due to the fact that the Dutch army had no funds available to replace it. It was the main service rifle available in 1940 and issued to infantry regiments.
