前膛槍與後膛槍的對決--1866年，薩多瓦戰役

The Prussian victory was decided by a critical technological advantage: the needle gun. While the Austrian forces relied on muzzle-loaders, the Prussians utilized the first effective breech-loading rifle, allowing them to fire faster and remain in cover. This disparity led to a devastating defeat for the Austrian army, resulting in massive casualties and a decisive shift in the battle.
