American Army Rifle Superior to
That Used by German Troops

American troops are armed with
a faster firing and more accurate
rife than used by the Germans, &C
cording to our expert designers,
manufacturers, and marksmen,
says a statement by the Bureau of
Ordnance. One military critic and
writer claims the German Mauser
does not permit the most skilled
user to get more than so per cent
of the firing speed of the modified
Enfield adopted for the United
States service.
The superiority claimed for the
American weapon is supported on
three counts: Quicker firing as a
result of bolt-handle design, easier
and quicker sighting as a result OF
sight design, greater accuracy OF
bullet fight resulting from bullet
design and greater mechanical ac-
curacy of chamber and bore.
