Real or staged?

Really curious what battle tactics they used during that war, line battles wont really work with such rifles and some sort of MG's coming up.

Supposedly real.  Apparently taken by a photographer attached to a French artillery battery.  Those are Prussian skirmish lines if you didn't guess already.

I was at the Army Museum here in Stockholm this tuesday. They got 2 of those white armoured cares outside, they look stupid.

And that airplane, is "Tunnan" right?
