New Rifles for Troops Reported by Chicago Chronicle
The Chicago Chronicle describes a transition from muskets to modern rifles issued to American soldiers in Cuba. The rifles fire faster, at longer range, with steel-coated bullets, carrying 174 cartridges per soldier and capable of inflicting multiple kills with accuracy. The piece notes debates on stopping power, humane effects, medal awards, and the shift of old arms to storage, with context from the Chitral campaign.
