POLICE Use
SHOT GUNS
Rifles No Longer in Use by
Chicago Man-Hun-
tiers. M...

Chicago, May 2S.-Substitution OF
the shotgun for the rifle is the latest
development in man-hunting by the
Chicago police. The time-honored
rife squad has given way to the
pump-gun squad.
The reason for the change was thus
outlined by Michael Hughes, chief of
detectives:
: I'm close-range fighting the pump
gun is much the more efficient
weapon, for within 30 feet of the OBJ
Each shot carries nine rounds Of lead,
corresponding in size to that in sS
revolver bullet
In street fishting, ALSO the chances
OF hitting the innocent bystander are
greatly minimized by the use Of the
shotgun, because the effective range
is so short.
The other day VIC discovered a
new use for the shotgun. During a
one of our men emptied his gun
through the. rear curtain OF the speed
ing machine ahead. The hail Of bull
lets stopped that car as no rife shot
would ever have done.
| THE gun we use has the shortes,
stock. Every one Of the detective
cars carries these guns as rssaala,
