of the Foreman Gun, extract from the columns
of the Montgomery Daily Mail
The gun is breech loading, and 80 inch barrels,
calibre 81 (the same the Enfield riae,J and ut
their base screwed into a solid piece of metal.
Near the muzze, these barrels passed through
another piece of iron, in such manner that whom
fired the balls spread themselves over one hundred
and twenty feet 800 yards from the point Of dis
charge. 1t is loaded at the breech by rapid
movement, enabling the gunner to discharge his
piece times minute. Simple in construction,
it is not likely to get out of order, and can be
cleaned iustantaneously whenever it is needed
Triplicate brecch leaders accompany each battery.
The gun carriage can be drawn by a single
horse, and with but two men in charge Of the
battery, whole squadrons of raiders could bc
made to bite the dust, and in the meantime the
battery could be moved elsewhere the moment its
presence was perceived by the enemy.
