tcfore subjected The Boart! also found
that it possessed these further advantages:
Very simple construction. it is easy to
operate, not liable to get out of order, it is
capable of a very high rate of fire, it can
be conveniently loaded with either hand,
it gives a high initial velocity and flat
trajectory, it is more accurate than re-
volver. The plant for its manufacture
has been completed. and in case of neces-
sity the pistols could be obtained promptly
and in quantities.
In the opinion of the Board, this pistol
is suitable arm for use in the United
States service, and it possesses numerous
advantages over the revolver.
The disadvantages of the Mauser pistol
are given as follows: 1T is large and
cumbersome; the construction is cOmpli-
Gated and the pistol is expensive to make;
it would be more difficult to care for than
4 revolver, the bullet is extremely light.
it is of foreign manufacture. The Board
believes it would be inexpedient to allow
it to displace the carbine, the latter being
a lOng-range weapon of precision for dis
mounted fire action. The Board does not
recommend the adoption of this pistol for
service"
In regard to the Mannlicher pistol the
Board says: while the pistol is very
simple in. construction, the operation of
loading is very tedious and slow, and it
would be almost impossible for man to
load it while on horseback. The muscular
eXertion required to fire it is practically
the same as for an ordinary doube-actiOn
revolver, while the rate of fire is much
slower.
This pistol the Board adds, "is not
a suitable arm for the United States sery-
ice"
No report has as yet been made on the
Luger pistol. as tests are now being made
with 1000 of them in the army.
