The blurb on the Wikipedia main page says that the rifle used black powder cartridges, and that it turned the Norwegian army into one armed with weapons that used smokeless powder. Smokeless powder is, of course, the modern replacement of black powder and the two are not the same. The article itself explains this later on, but the front page (and probably the beginning of the article, which I have not yet read closely) could use some clarification. I originally clicked through to make a correction to the article, but saw that the explanation is there - it could just use better placement.

"This combat sight was graduated to 430 m (470 yd), since the path taken by the bullet did not rise over 1,80 meter (6 ft) at this distance." It is unclear why or how the conditional statement is related to the combat sight. [[User:Howellpm|pmh]] 05:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC) |

enfilading
It should be clarified as to what "438 m Enfilading" means. I know it says "(the path of the bullet would pass through a man-sized target)", but i'm not sure what the distance rating refers to. Fresheneesz 02:44, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Also in that table, it mentions a "rate of fire" but no units. What does "8" rate of fire mean? Is that 8 shots per minute? Fresheneesz 02:51, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Front page clarification
The blurb on the Wikipedia main page says that the rifle used black powder cartridges, and that it turned the Norwegian army into one armed with weapons that used smokeless powder. Smokeless powder is, of course, the modern replacement of black powder and the two are not the same. The article itself explains this later on, but the front page (and probably the beginning of the article, which I have not yet read closely) could use some clarification. I originally clicked through to make a correction to the article, but saw that the explanation is there - it could just use better placement. 68.230.214.218 03:38, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
