Owing to its design as a cavalry arm, the mostly featureless design is meant to be cheap while providing minimum snag potential and ease of use with one hand and reloading under reign. With the adoption of moon-clips, the previous .41-50 cartridge was altered into a rimless brass head that uses the same drawing dies as the service rifle cartridge(6x63mm) and allows rapid fumble free reloading with the soldier's free hand as the gun is held with the reigns in the other. The service arm is based off the commercial Safety Automatic which had been in production since 1871, all be it with rimmed singular cartridges.
