Those were known as the Martini-Enfield, IIRC.

I would put on that list of most regrettable naval defeats on where no actual shots were fired, yet soon turned out to be quite a catastrophe. And it could've been a winnable battle if better decisions had been made. That would be the escape of SMS Goeben to Turkey. Goeben only barely made it into the Dardanelles before HMS Indomitable and HMS Indefatigable caught up even with all the poor decisions made by the British and French admirals. And if Goeben had been stopped, the balance between the pro-German and pro-British factions of the Ottoman Empire might never have been tipped decisively enough for the Ottomans to enter the war. Ottoman neutrality, or even a significant delay in Ottoman entry into the war, would've been an enormous victory for the Allies, and likely would've resulted in World War I ending significantly sooner. Meaning that such events as the Gallipoli campaign, the Battles of Verdun and the Somme, the Russian Revolution, and US entry into the war would never have happened. The Armenian genocide also would be less likely to happen, and who knows how much longer the Ottoman Empire could've survived.

@davefinfrock3324 If you want "as ambi as bullpups get", the obvious answer is the P90. Though of course it fires a much shorter cartridge, so bottom-eject is rendered much easier.
