The Lebel Model 1886 rifle is an 8mm bolt action rifle which entered service in the French Army in April 1887. Colonel Nicolas Lebel designed the new rifle's full metal jacket bullet only however his name has remained informally attached to the entire weapon. The Lebel rifle has the distinction of being the first rifle designed to use nitrocellulose-based the first practical smokeless gunpowder which had been invented by Paul Vieille in 1884. The Lebel was also the first military rifle to introduce, in 1901, a boat-tailed bullet as standard ammunition. "Balle D"'s better ballistic properties extended the extreme range of the Lebel rifle beyond 4000 yards.
