y writer in the Chicago Tribune gives
this description of the Prussian needle gun,
which will probably play an important part
in the coming battles in Europe
|. The range of the needle gun is from
1900 to 400 yards.
=. The movements of loading are eXecut-
ed with the right hand, as follows: An up
ward stroke with the palm of the right hand
against the chamber knob opens the breech,
the cartridge is inserted into the cavity of
the barrel, push forward and downward
stroke of the chamber knob with the right
hand close the breech, and another push on
the needle chamber with its spiral spring.
completes the loading, and the rifle is ready
for fire" During the movement the gun
is held with the left hand at "ready,"
3. The gun is never loaded or reloaded
while at "aim," simply because it is inn
possible to do so.
/. The powder is not ignited at the rear
end Of the cartridge, but next to the ball,
where the igniting matter is placed in a
kind Of socket of papicr mache, and this is
what gives more power to the ball, the
powder burning from the front to the rear.
J. The cartridge is made up-ball in front,
ball socket with igniting matter, powder.
The shape Of the ball resembles the shape
of a mber, and is called long lead lang

g. The recoi of the gun is only felt when
it becomes very much heated, and the air
chamber filled with the refuse Of powder.
When clean no recoil is felt at ALL
:. In ease the needle should break or
bend, or otherwise become useless, new
one can be inserted in less than five seconds.
i.acn soldier carries an extra supply of six
needles.
It is not 50 much the superiority of the
needle gun over other breech-loaders which
las secured, and in all probability will in
ID. present struggle secure success to the
Prussian army, az it is the thorough educa-
ton of each individual soldier and his per-
feet familiarity with his weapon.
The needle gun was first used in Prussia
in ls4s and 1910, in Baden and Schleswig,
and not having been deemed effective
without an entire change of tactics, and es
specially of skirmish instruction, was al
most condemned.
The Prussian army has but one calibre
for all small arms, so that infantry or sharp
shooters can be supplied with cartridges
from any cavalry pistol or carbine cartridge
wagon.
