One of Ferdinand Mannlicher's series of straight-pull bolt-action rifles, featuring a packet-clip loading system where the entire clip was loaded into the action and ejected empty when the last round was fired. A distinctive tinny "ping" sound when the clip ejected became iconic. Adopted by Austria-Hungary and several other nations. The straight-pull action was notably faster than rotating bolt designs.
