Chassepot

French needle gun

The Chassepot (pronounced SHAS-poh; French pronunciation: [ʃas.po]), officially known as Fusil modèle 1866, was a bolt-action military breechloading rifle. It is famous for having been the arm of the French forces in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871. It replaced an assortment of muzzleloading Minié rifles, many of which were converted in 1864 to breech loading (the Tabatière rifles).
