Martini Henry rifles, if my memory of the film Zulu serves. Isanlwana & Rorkes Drift are on the same day. The latter is a superb company defence against a massed enemy, in the former it is probable the piquets were too thinly spread, too far apart to support each other. Once the Zulu were inside the ring the British were doomed.
