Three Hundred Shots a Minute.

Fifteen well-aimed shots in nine sec
onds Is the record of Sergeant Major
Wallingford of England with the new
Halle automatic rife, writes Dewey
Sheldon Beebe in Technical World
Magazine for September. He made
one target Of fifteen shots in nine sec
onds, and another Of forty shots In
one minute. Every one of these shots,
fired at 200 yards, came within a cir
Gle Of fifteen inches in diameter-in
every case he would haye hit his man,
had he been in battle.
1t is not every marksman who can
shoot as well as Sergeant Major WALL
ingford, but his fea thrusts before
the military world the tremendous pos
sibilities of the automatic rifle. That
his weapon is the military small arm
of the future has been the opinion of
many experts, but the efficiency of the
automatic rifle has not before now
been demonstrated by sue conclusive
tests. Some of the advantages Of the
Halle over other m rifles are
thai the automatic mechanism Is
worked by the recoil of the gun and
not by compressed gas drawn from the
barrel, and that 1t is n short recoil
rather than a long recoil gun. The
obvious advantage Of a short recoil is
the lessening of the shock to the CUR
and its mechanism. Also, in long re-
coil rifle 1t is necessary that the recoil
be as quick as possible, SO that the
barrel must be a light, which Is
an added source Of weakness.
