Martini Henry

Description

Introduction
The Martini-Henry is a rifle that was based off of the British breech-loading single-shot lever-actuated 1871 Martini-Henry which took place in many conflicts including: The Anglo-Zulu War, The First and Second Boer Wars, World War One and The Second Anglo-Afghan War (with much more conflicts under its Gun Strap). The gun was made a primary weapon after the 3.0 update.

History
The Henry was the most prominent gun used by the British during the Anglo-Zulu War and its most famous battle: The Battle of Rorke's Drift (which this game was based on), a nothing battle that saw about 150 British soldiers from the 24th Regiment of Foot defend the outpost of Rorke's Drift from 4,000 Zulu Warriors, 13 of these soldiers received the Victoria Cross, the most given from any battle. The most famous retelling of this battle is with the 1964 movie Zulu that single handily brought the battle into mainstream recognition (and may be the reason why this game was made in the first place).

Game use
Being a rifle, the Martini-Henry has exceptionally long range (over 500 studs) and a relatively low bullet drop, although it has only 1 bullet in its chamber, which gives it a weird status of having "no fire rate". The single bullet takes 4 seconds to reload making it the fastest reloading weapon in the game whilst simultaneously giving it the slowest fire rate. The Reload animation shows the player tilting the Martini-Henry at an angle towards the sky and ejecting the cartridge out. Then, the player reaches into their pocket on the back of their right leg, and puts a bullet into the gun before closing the chamber.

Like with the Repeating Rifle and the Carbine Repeater, you can aim down the Martini-Henry's sights with Q. Aiming down the sights allows a red dotted line that shows your bullet's drop rate after firing which is a great for adjusting your aim. However, the Martini-Henry is unique in that it is the only ranged weapon to have a melee mode, the Henry's Bayonet can be equipped by pressing X, it has average reach and speed, and can be taken off by using B (although there is no benefit to doing this and will not affect your aim).

Cost and Value
The Martini-Henry and Bayonet is the default weapon and the only weapon to not have a Game-Pass required to obtain it permanently.
