The Lee-Enfield term “Mad Minute” was a term used by the British Army to describe firing fifteen aimed bullets into a target at three hundred yards within one minute. It was not uncommon for British Empire servicemen to beat this record! An average well trained rifleman could fire twenty-five aimed shots, and some even more.

"The current world record for aimed bolt-action fire was set in 1914 by a musketry instructor in the British Army — Sergeant Instructor Snoxall — who placed 38 rounds into a 12" target at 300 yards in one minute."

From 1895 over sixteen million Lee Enfield’s had been produced world wide by the time production ceased in 1966, with 3.8 million used in WW1.
