This video details the Lee Navy rifle, a limited production straight-pull rifle adopted by the US Navy. It highlights a critical design flaw where case failures could vent hot gas into the shooter's eye. A shield was later added to mitigate this, but it proved unreliable, shattering during the Spanish-American War. The rifle was ultimately abandoned due to logistical issues and the Navy's switch to the Army's .30 caliber cartridge.
