The advantages of breech-loading rifles over muzzle-loading rifles are very obvious, which is why Louis I is quite taken with this rifle in his hands.
"Carlo, is this your latest Vitali M1872 Rifle?" Louis I asked with some interest.
As the neighbor of Spain, Portugal is, of course, aware of the standard weapons currently being equipped by the Spanish Army.
However, at the time, the relationship between Spain and Portugal was not good, and there wasn't a strong demand within Portugal to replace their rifles. As a result, the Portuguese Army has not yet fully adopted the latest breech-loading rifles.
"Of course." Carlo nodded, seemingly foreseeing the Royal Military Factory securing an order: "This is the latest model after a secondary modification based on Italy's Vitali Rifle. What do you think? It feels pretty good, doesn't it?"
"It truly is excellent, feels great." Louis I nodded, greatly admiring the rifle in his hand: "What is the cost of this rifle?"
