The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The majority of bolt-action firearms are rifles, but there are also some variants of shotguns and handguns that are bolt-action.
- Bolt action firearms are generally repeating firearms, but many single-shot designs are available as well, particularly in shooting sports where single-shot firearms are mandated, such as most Olympic and ISSF rifle disciplines.
- From the late 19th century all the way through both World Wars, bolt action rifles were the standard infantry service weapons for most of the world's military forces.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bolt action article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Bolt action
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
