Wooden mock rifles for Camp Travis training
During Camp Travis training a shortage of real rifles led to the adoption of wooden mockups for infantry practice. Guns will be longer than standard rifles, weigh about seven and a half pounds, and be used with in-ground sticks to simulate recoil and combat conditions. Training barracks remodeling proceeds, and thousands of wooden practice weapons have been ordered as the Texas troops prepare for active duty. One death reported at Fort Sam Houston hospital, with the body sent to a local facility.
