New Service Rifle Of United
States Army Does Mot Come
Up to Expectations.
REC0lL SAID TO BE FEARFUL
RiHing Soon Wears Out and Esyonet
Not Suitable for Actual
Use.

The new rifle for the United States
Rock Island arsenal. is the target at
present of considerable criticism. There
are 10000 of the new rifles made at
the Springfield arsenal. \ few of them
have been sent To various parts of the
country. but no more will be issued I'M
Ill the defects discovered have been
remedied and the improvements sus-
gested have been put into effect.
The new rife is about the length of
the old-fashioned carbine. 1t has great
er velocity than either the old 45-cali-
bre or the lighter Krag-Jorgensen. 1t
is supposed to be an interchangeable
arm for the cavalry. artillery, infantry,
the navy and the marine corps. Its
short barrel is supposed to make it an
extremely handy gun.
Militia Men Complain.
The first to use il were members of
the rifle teams of organized militia in
several states. They began TO COM
plain right away. They said the gun
gave tremendous recoil, which soon de-
veloped black and blue spots on the
shoulders of the markSmen. even
though the kick" was not so heavy
as that of the old-fashioned Springfield.
Investigation showed that this heavy
recoil was due to the ammunition used.
Aside from this Il perpleXing effect
was discovered on the rifiing of the
gun. Some of the militiamen who used
the rifle in target practice said that the
rifiing was worn out after 1000 rounds.
Fault With New Bayonct.
The officers who designed the gun
equipped il with n steel rod bayonet.
expecting this to serve just as well as
a cleaning rod. This is said to be dan
Serous to the ri1ling. \ wooden or brass
rod is deemed the necessary article.
The war in the far east has proved
that hand-to-hand fighting must still be
resorted TO. In all probability new
bayonet which will serve as a close
range weapon will be designed for the
rifle.
Brig. Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance,
said:
I'VE have heard of these complaints
in general way. The gun may wear
out in short time with certain ammu-
milton, but in the hands of experts for
tests it has been fired 5000 times with
out being much worn"
