U.S. Springfield Armory 1896 Krag

Named for its inventors, Norwegian Royal Artillery officer Ole Hermann Johannes Krag and civilian Erik Jorgensen, the Krag-Jorgensen rifle was the first small-caliber smokeless power repeating long arm to be adopted by the U.S. Army. This rifle also marked the beginning of the change from large-caliber/low muzzle velocity ammunition to smaller caliber/higher energy rounds for military applications, and the demise of the Springfield socket-style bayonet, which was finally replaced by a knife-style blade. Although invented in Norway, the U.S. version was patterned after the Model 1889 rifle which was then the standard infantry arm of Denmark.
