This video delves into the Swift Model B, a unique training rifle developed in Great Britain during World War II. Designed to mimic the size, weight, and balance of the Pattern 1914 Enfield and No. 4 Enfield rifles, it fired a spring-loaded needle to prick paper targets, allowing for indoor marksmanship practice without ammunition. The description highlights its well-thought-out features, such as a spring-loaded buttplate and bolt cycling designed to enforce proper technique. However, it also notes the rifle's practical reception as a joke among soldiers, often used for pranks rather than serious training, suggesting its true utility lies somewhere between its intended purpose and its perceived effectiveness.
