The '''SR-1''', initially designated '''Model 1874 Service Weapon''', was the first standard-issue {{wp|breech-loading rifle}} adopted by the Urcean armed forces. The rifle employed a {{wp|trapdoor mechanism|trapdoor}} hinged {{wp|breechblock}} and fired {{wp|.45-70}} {{wp|Cartridge (firearms)|cartridges}}, the first rifle in Urcean service to do so. Replacing the Model 1862's system of {{wp|percussion cap}}s, experienced riflemen could average 15 shots per minute with the SR-1 as opposed to just 3 with its predecessor. The SR-1 was the first rifle designated under the standardized Urcean equipment system, and was in service from 1874 to 1887 with sporadic reserve use thereafter. Due to the large number produced, many SR-1s continued to be used by [[Ionian Plateau|Ionian]] guerillas and Legitimist forces during the [['97 Rising]] until more modern rifles could be supplied by foreign alloes. | The '''SR-1''', initially designated '''Model 1874 Service Weapon''', was the first standard-issue {{wp|breech-loading rifle}} adopted by the Urcean armed forces.
