But when the Italian team test-fired the identical model of gun, they were unable to load and fire three shots in less than 19 seconds”

That is crap. There isn't a bolt action made, including single shots, that I can't fire three rounds accruately from in 9 seconds.

I once shot a large buck in a trot, he jumped in the air, and I shot him again as he was coming down with a Remington 700. Both shots hit within 1/2 inch of each other.
