TARGET PROBLEM
FACES OFFICIALS
High Cost of Ammunition May
Force Low Caliber Prac-
tice.

The high cost of service ammunition
has set officials of both the National
Guard and the Regular Army to study
ing the problem of using 22-caliber
ammunition for training purposes in
stead Of the 30-caliber. However. while
the Guard officers have assented to
the use of the small bore for train
ing, they do not concede that it should
entirely replace firing with the high
powered rifle. The cost problem was
brought to the fore by the fact that
subsequent to the World War there
was a large surplus of ammunition,
which was issued free to the Guard
This surplus is about exhausted, and
monetary problem faces the Guard
Officers have pointed out to the War
Department that. under the present
regulations, GuardSman may qualify
as an expert machine gunner without
ever having fired a single round Of
service ammunition. This is regarded
by the Guard officials as ridiculous.
A committee Of Guard officers said
the Importance of .30-caliber practice
is fully recognized and should be ade-
quately provided for. For a large
number of qualified men is more i'm
portant than a few expert shots. BY
taking full advantage of the training
possibilities Of small-bore practice the
time and ammunition usually devoted
to .30-caliber practice can be mate
rally reduced without lowering stand
ards, they said. The opinion is ex-
pressed a higher percentage of qualifl-
cations will result, due to better con-
troll and supervision Of firing and the
availability of men for practice.
The committee expressed the opin-
ion small-bore practice should be
largely depended upon for instruction
purposes, thus permitting reduction
in the required amount of .30-caliber
ammunition for this purpose. To this
end they expressed the belief that 22-
caliber practice should be further en-
phasized, but that it must be consid-
cred as supplement to, and not in
lieu Of, .30-caliber firing.
The committee said it accepted the
regulation which provides for quail
fication every third year only as they
accepted the 22-caliber as a supple
ment to the principal arm, as a tenn
porary expedient.
The amount appropriated in this
years budget for ammunition of all
types was $1,4l0,55l. and the amount
carried In the budget now before Con-
gress for next year 1 81, 100000.
