| rdfs:comment | - There are four classes of the Martini-Henry rifle: Mark I (released in June 1871), Mark II, Mark III, and Mark IV. There was also an 1877 carbine version with carbine variations that included a Garrison Artillery Carbine, an Artillery Carbine (Mark I, Mark II, and Mark III), and smaller versions designed as training rifles for military cadets. The Mark IV Martini-Henry rifle ended production in the year 1889, but remained in service throughout the British Empire until the end of the First World War.
- The Martini-Henry is a single-shot, breech-loaded, lever-actuated falling block rifle that was designed in 1870 and used throughout the British Empire for thirty years. First produced in 1871, the Martini-Henry rifle was developed as a replacement for the earlier Snider-Enfield, a muzzle-loading rifle converted to use cartridges. Although production of the Martini-Henry ended in 1889, the rifle was still used by the British Empire until the end of World War I. Some rifles have even seen use in recent years, sometimes found in the hands of Afghan tribesmen and insurgents.
- Developed by Henry O. Peabody (in his Peabody rifle) and improved by the Swiss designer Friedrich von Martini, whose work in bringing the cocking and striker mechanism all within the receiver greatly improved the operation of the rifle, which new iteration was combined with the polygonal barrel rifling designed by Scotsman Alexander Henry. The rifle has been made in different variations, in carbine and shotgun configuration. The gun continues to see service to this day, even being used by Afghan tribesme.
