Steyr Mannlicher | Mannlicher | Ferdinand Mannlicher | Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 | Mannlicher-Schönauer | 7.5×54mm French | 6.5×52mm Mannlicher-Carcano |
The 6.5×52mm Carcano was the first to be officially adopted of a class of similar smallbore military rifle cartridges which included the 6.5×50mm Arisaka (Japan), 6.5×53R Mannlicher (Romania / Netherlands), 6.5×54mm Mannlicher-Schönauer (Greece), 6.5×55mm Swedish Mauser (also Norwegian Krag-Jørgensen), 6.5×58 Portuguese.
Recently reorganized by a French military mission, the army was equipped with the Mannlicher-Schönauer rifle, and French artillery guns, chiefly the Canon de 75 modèle 1897 and the Schneider-Danglis mountain gun.
Legendary American writer Ernest Hemingway frequently used the rifle, and mentions it in some of his writings, most notably The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber.
