Watched "Zulu" again a few weeks ago. Some historical error (the pistols the Officer's used to some good effect would not be invented for another dozen years or so) but basically correct to the tactics and event.

Anyone under the impression that single shot cartridge rifles were not effective weapons should take a look at the devastating advancing two line volley fire and the three line (abet Hollywood) stationary fire scenes and take note.
