As Kadir Bruno dedicated himself to Carlo's orders, far away in Madrid, Carlo was ending his leisurely lifestyle.
After a long period of waiting, Carlo's Royal Armory had finally taken shape, recruiting some workers from Spanish weapon workshops and poaching rifle design experts from countries such as France and Italy.
Starting this year, rifles will enter a new era, the era of bolt-action rifles.
The prosperity of bolt-action rifles will continue all the way to World War II, to be replaced then by semi-automatic and automatic rifles.
As the main equipment of the Spanish Army for nearly the next century, Carlo placed considerable importance on the development of bolt-action rifles.
In fact, as early as last year, the Swiss had already developed the first practical bolt-action rifle, named the Vitali Rifle.
This rifle was not only purchased in large quantities by the Swiss Army but also exported to Italy, which is all the information Carlo currently has.
