The long barrels on the 1895 rifles tended to warp, which was great if you wanted to shoot around corners, but not so great if you want the bullets to go where you aim. Or the effects of this on the barrel over time.

Nobody had thought about having to shoot hundreds of rounds in a short period of time. They were designed in the 1880s, and upgraded in the 1890s. The barrels were too thin to hold up well to sustained rapid firing.
