Lewis Gun Controversy Tested Before Senate
Colonel Isaac Lewis, inventor of the Lewis gun, told a Senate committee that he offered the weapon to the War Department at no cost and to test it only outside the Springfield arsenal. He blamed General Crozier and the Ordnance Bureau for flaws and argued the Browning gun was overrated, detailing failures in tests and efforts to win government acceptance.
