During the Boxer uprising, circa 1900, the American Marine contingent in the defense of the foreign legations in Peking used what rifle: the Krag; the 6.5 mm Lee Navy; something else?

Were their officers and NCOs using the 1895 Colt revolver or something else?

That should be 6mm Navy ! Of course the Krag in 30-40.
I assume a Colt 38 cal revolver .Experiences there and in the Phillipines showed the .38 was not enough leading to the 1911.
