Abstract

The Krag–Jørgensen rifle is perhaps best known in the Anglosphere for the important role it played in shaping America’s modern military, ushering the country into the era of smokeless powder and magazine-fed, repeating firearms at the end of the 19th century. Although several books have been written on the American Krag–Jørgensen models, very little has been written in English on their Scandinavian counterparts. The Krag–Jørgensen rifle, although developed in Norway, was first adopted in Denmark as the Gevær M/1889. The lack of reliable scholarship examining Scandinavian rifles of this period has given rise to a range of false narratives and misinformation connected with the early development of the rifle and its adoption by the Danish armed forces. This article seeks to address these issues head-on, providing a verifiable—if general—narrative of the early development of the weapon and its early trials and adoption.
丹麦Gevær M/1889:丹麦Krag-Jørgensen步枪的发展史
克拉格-约根森步枪在英语圈最为人所知的可能是它在塑造美国现代军事方面发挥的重要作用,它在19世纪末引领美国进入了无烟火药和弹匣式连发枪械的时代。虽然有几本关于美国Krag-Jørgensen模型的书,但关于斯堪的纳维亚模型的英文著作却很少。Krag-Jørgensen步枪,虽然在挪威发展,在丹麦被首先采用为Gevær M/1889。由于缺乏研究这一时期斯堪的纳维亚步枪的可靠学术研究,因此产生了一系列与该步枪的早期发展和丹麦武装部队采用该步枪有关的虚假叙述和错误信息。本文试图正面解决这些问题,对该武器的早期发展及其早期试验和采用提供一个可验证的一般性叙述。
