马蒂尼-亨利枪机(Martini–Henry action)
With the Martini-Henry rifle in service with the army, all saw its special mechanism. In that particular era, there were a lot of ingenious designs, and each one was unique, unlike nowadays when almost all rifles are based on AK systems or AR systems.
The Martini-Henry bolt used in the Martini-Henry rifle was an early lever bolt used in rear-loading guns. The shooter can only load one bullet into the chamber at a time. When the lever is pulled, the lever opens the "back door" and the shooter can put the bullet in.
