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 could even make it to forty shots per 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.
