Guns That Shoot Quickly.

4. most striking recent Development
in suus-and in speaking OF guns we
usually include the carriage or gun
mounts the effort now universal, 10
throw the accurate and quick control
of the gun into the hands of the peo-
pie firing it. IL may well be wondered
that this has not always been a CON
trolling idea in laying out guns and
their mounts. but at the present time
it is in this direction that the great
est effort is being made. The proof
of this is to be seen by a comparl-
son of the guns and mounts made
ten or fifteen years ago with those
now being made. The latter are ar
ranged much more conveniently, and
consequently their rate of fire is much
faster Modern 6-inch guns are being
