Editing Martini-Henry

{{Classification}}[[File:Martini-Henry IRL.jpg|thumb|270px|The Martini-Henry in reality]]

The '''[[wikipedia:Martini–Henry|Martini-Henry]]''' is a single-shot, breech-loaded, lever-actuated falling block rifle firing the .577/475 Martini-Henry cartridge that was designed in 1870 and used throughout the [[United Kingdom|British Empire]] for thirty years. First produced in 1871, the Martini-Henry rifle was developed as a replacement for earlier cartridge-conversions of the .58 caliber Snider-Enfield rifled musket.

With the introduction of the magazine-fed Lee-Metford rifle in 1888 (which itself was replaced by the updated [[Lee-Enfield]] in 1895), the Martini-Henry became displaced from frontline service and production of the rifle ceased in 1889. A large percentage of existing Martini-Henry rifles were converted to fire the newer .303 British (7.7x56mm) cartridge, with these converted rifles being named the Martini-Enfield rifle. Despite the conversion process of the old rifles, some Martini-Enfields were also manufactured new and un-converted Martini-Henry rifles also saw service with the British armed forces.

The Martini-Henry remained in service with the British Empire until the end of [[World War I]]. A sizable amount of them were also used by the [[Ottoman Empire]] (converted to 7.65x53mm Mauser and other small-bore cartridges). Some rifles have even seen use in recent years, with a total of three such rifles having been recovered from arms caches in the Middle East between 2010 and 2011.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martini–Henry</ref>

{{Quote|A breech-loading, single-shot rifle firing a heavy black powder cartridge. It was used during the Zulu, Boer wars and World War I.|In-game description}}

The '''Martini-Henry''' is a single-action rifle featured in ''[[Battlefield 1]]''.

===Singleplayer===
The Martini-Henry rifles are standard weapons used by [[Kingdom of Hejaz|Bedouin insurgents]] in [[Nothing Is Written]]. They are equipped only with a bayonet and can be picked up from dead rebels when fighting the Canavar.

===Multiplayer===
Firing the large caliber .577/450 Martini–Henry cartridge, it is comparable to the [[SMLE MKIII]] in performance, inflicting fatal damage between 30–80 meters and retaining 70 damage at range. Its muzzle velocity is lowest among Scout rifles, save for the [[M1903 Springfield|M1903 Experimental]]. The Martini-Henry has a characteristically dull report from its black powder propellant.

As a single-shot weapon, its reload speed limits the maximum possible fire rate to 24 rounds/minute, making it a challenging weapon to use at close range. Little to no customization is available for the weapon, save for the standard change of [[Iron sights#Battlefield 1|iron and radium sights]], zoom and bayonet, a single "Infantry" preset is available. Hip fire performance is consistent with other Scout rifles not geared for such use.

Its sweet spot is a little wider than the SMLE's range. The Martini-Henry also has a peculiar damage output, with its maximum being 112, higher than any primary in the game. This extra damage compensates for lower hitbox multipliers on different parts of the body, allowing a one-shot-kill in this range on the head, upper body, lower body, and upper arms (other rifles only one-shot-kill in their sweet spot ranges on the upper body).

====Infantry====
The '''Martini-Henry Infantry''' is available for purchase upon reaching Scout Rank 10.

====Sniper====
{{Quote|Equipped with a bipod and telescopic sight, this rifle pattern offers improved accuracy over long distance. It can be zeroed for 75, 150, and 300 meters.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Martini-Henry Sniper''' variant was added to the [[Community Test Environment]] in March 2017 and Released to retail with [https://www.battlefield.com/news/update-notes/spring-update Spring 2017 Update]. It is unlocked upon completion of the correlating [[Battlefield 1 Assignments|assignment]] which involves obtaining 300 kills with the Infantry variant and 25 kills with [[Bayonet Charge]]. It is equipped with a [[Bipod#Battlefield 1|bipod]] and [[Sight#Sniper Scope|high-magnification scope]] which can [[Zeroing|zeroed]] for 75, 150, and 300 meters respectively.

==Trivia==
*The singleplayer Martini-Henry suffers from a glitch which makes it impossible to obtain ammo from other Martini-Henry rifles. The only way around this would be to replace the empty rifle with another weapon and then swap that weapon for another Martini-Henry.
