Three score years ago Il was the
handy piece Of the sheritfs who hunted
the outlaws, prison guards. express
messengers and stage coach guards,
and ii did yeoman service.
When America took a hand in the
war a Georgia engineer by the name OF
Eager began Eliminating on ways TO
stop the Hun. His nominations brought
him 10 the discarded weapon OF the
days OF mushroom mining towns. II
was the big idea.
He suggested the utilization OF the
snort barrel shotgun TO the war de-
partment and the suggestion met with
favor The improved winchester riot
gun, 1897 model. six shot. hand oper-
ated, single barrel pump shotgun was
examined and found worthy.
Place for n Bnyonet.
But there was one problem to be
met. That was the placing Of the
bayonet- The barrel OF the gun was
quite thin and did not offer much sup
port for a bayonet- This Is where
made the gun the deadliest short
range weapon ever conceived or used
by man.
The weakness OF the barrel was
overcome by providing an outer steel
coat or Jacket. which is perforated
and held short distance away from
the barrel proper and forms an air
chamber that acts as a cooling Jacket
To this reinforced jacket is the bayo-
net attached
This Jacket prevents the scorchinr
OF the shooters hands and permits
rapid fire. The magazine holds five
shells and there is one shell in the
chamber. making It capable OF firing
six shots as rapidly as one can pull
the trigger and work the pump ham
die This we might assert IS mighty
fast when in the hands OF a trap
shooter.
VIII Fire 20 Cartridges a Minute.
These shells contain l. drains Of
smokeless powder. 90 buckshot load. 9
pellets to each cartridge. each pellet
about the size OF a - caliber bullet.
It is possible for one man shooting.
and others loading for him. 10 fire

tor With hundreds OF these guns in
use one can imagine the result.
No column Of troops could stand
Mt close range before n lire Of
men armed with trench shOfEuns.
In the past these guns have eovTed
mObs and upset mass formations.
It is unWise to stand in front Of
them-especfnlly when they are
in the hands Of one who might
pail the trigger.
The gun weighs : - pounds and
the bayOnet / IL pounds It is the
12-gage pattern. with barrels 20 inches
long made from rolled steel, cylinder
bored The bayonet can be removed
and used for closeup" fighting. A
sling is attached to the gun. the same
as to the rifle, so that It may be
thrown over the shoulder.

gun is shown IN these tests on q two
