I've never had to drop a bolt action off my shoulder to work the bolt, even my X could work a bolt fast enough to think she was shooting a semi-auto if you weren't watching.
You might want to watch a video "British army mad minute". 10 shots in under 10 seconds. The Boers thought they were facing machine guns.
No... not ten shots within ten seconds. They called it a Mad MINUTE for a reason. Ten shots within a minute, 60 seconds.
