Living legend
Germany's Gallic adversaries had succeeded in producing the first practical smokeless gun powder and in 1886 France shocked the world's military authorities when they announced the adoption of the first smallbore, smokeless powder repeating rifle--the 8mm Fusil d'Infanterie Modele 1886, better known as the "Lebel."
