Rifles, Pirates, and Theatre

While plans were underway to form a special task force to liberate the captured field agent from the hands of the Golden Horde. As well as the ongoing efforts of the Austrian intervention in Granada. Berengar had decided it was time to implement the replacement for the Needle Rifle.

This weapon would become the standard issue to his Jagdkommandos in the upcoming months. After all, special operations units like the Jagdkommandos and the Jaegers took priority when it came to the procurement of new equipment. Though it would later begin seeing service among more standardized troops. 

This new rifle was a single shot, black powder bolt-action rifle and was primarily based upon the Mauser 1871, which was used by the German Army during the early days of their Empire in Berengar's past life. Though it was still a single-shot rifle, it was a vast improvement over the Needle Rifle, which was prone to fouling and parts breakage.
