The '''Mad Minute''' is an ability and a combat technique.
== Description ==
The ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_minute Mad Minute]'' is the name of a speed shooting technique with bolt-action rifles; in particular, the [[Lee-Enfield]] rifle, with which it was first invented.
The technique was named as such due to the original specifications of the speed shooting competition; the shooter has one minute to fire (and, frequently, reload) as many shots as possible on a target, and the shooter is graded on the amount of hits scored as well as their accuracy, using the numbers on the target to attribute points.
The technique consists of learning a method of "palming" the bolt handle on one's particular bolt-action rifle in order to quickly cycle it between shots, increasing the shooter's effective rate of fire. Certain rifles are better suited than others for this task, though it seems to mostly depend on the shooter and their level of familiarity with their rifles.
== Requirements ==
This ability is not initially available and must be unlocked. To unlock this ability, your character must reach '''Expert level''' in the Bolt-action [[Skills|combat skill]].
Once unlocked, to be able to perform this combat technique, your character must be equipped with the following:
* A [[Weapon|firearm]] capable of using '''bolt-action''' mode.
== Use ==
If you meet the skill and weapon requirements, you can perform Fanning, which will result in the following:
* The [[Weapons#Fire modes|max shots per turn]] limit for '''bolt-action''' mode is '''doubled''' (allowing for up to '''6''' shots instead of only 3)
* '''[[IR]] +1'''
