The 28 mm wargame Bolt Action solves this problem by compressing the range of a rifle to just 24 inches; [10] likewise, a sub-machine gun's range is 12 inches and a pistol's range is 6 inches. [16] These ranges may not be realistic, but at least their proportions do make intuitive sense, giving an illusion of realism.
[citation needed] Some manufacturers measure figure height from the feet to the eyes rather than the top of the head; therefore, a figure that is 30mm to the top of its head could be considered to be a 28mm miniature. Figures of 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, and 35 mm are the most common for role-playing and table-top games.

Straight-pull rifles differ from conventional bolt action mechanisms in that the manipulation required from the user in order to chamber and extract a cartridge predominantly consists of a linear motion only, as opposed to a traditional turn-bolt action where the user has to manually rotate the bolt for chambering and primary extraction.
