Fifteen Shots A Minute Gun Adopted by Army
Gen Crozier chief of the ordnance department told a House Appropriations subcommittee that the new gun fires fifteen shots a minute, far faster than the gid gun that tops at two or three. The gun uses a slightly smaller caliber but heavier projectile and longer recoil. Army supply plans call for 250 batteries, about two guns per thousand men for 500 000 troops. Already 276 guns are in use in the army and militia, with full coverage not expected until 1919 under current delivery rates.
