This video analyzes the French 1878 Marine Kropatschek rifle, a metallic-cartridge repeater adopted by the French Navy. It details the rifle's selection process over other contenders like the Winchester-Hotchkiss and Krag-Petersen, its production by the Austrian Werndl factory, and its chambering in 11mm Gras. The description also highlights its service in French colonies and its role as a precursor to the French-build Model 1884 rifles, with a mention of an upcoming video on the latter. The video promotes a book titled "Chassepot to FAMAS: French Military Rifles 1866-2016".
