Erratum The 1873 Ashanti Campaign featured the use of the Short Snider exclusively which leads to a bit of confusion regarding the whole Snider story. If taken in the context of the Long Snider Rifle, the video remains technically correct. In addition, the video is made from the standpoint of the use in British Service. It was used by the Indian Army as well as the Canadian Militia on active service well past its service dates in the British Army.

The Martini is generally considered to be faster bring than it's predecessor, the Snider. But just how much of an advantage did it enjoy?
