Hunt: Showdown Vetterli 71

The Vetterli 71 chambered in .41 Swiss Centerfire from Hunt: Showdown!

Weirdly the ammo used in Hunt: Showdown is an incredibly rare centerfire variant of the .41 Swiss ammo, rather than rimfire, which did exist in reality. I guess Hunters get exclusive weaponry.

VETTERLI 71 KARABINER. (See also, RIFLES) The Swiss Army adopted the Vetterli rifle in 1868. At the time, it was the most advanced rifle in use by a European nation. Its designer, Johann-Friedrich Vetterli, combined the tubular magazine of the Winfield M1866 with a bolt-action receiver, introduced by the Dreyse needle gun. This gave it a tremendous rate of fire. A couple of years later, and after a few improvements to the original design, the M1871 Karabiner was developed. A shortened variant of the original rifle, it was intended for use by cavalry. Due to the neutrality of Switzerland during the period, particularly the Franco-Prussian war, the rifle was seldom used in combat, until it was phased out in 1891. It was sold on the market to various entities, proving popular thanks to its powerful design. Of note, it saw extensive use by the Boers in the first and second Boer wars.
