THAT HUN-KILLING 
MILITARY SHOTGUN 
(continued from page 699) 
and that pe’son wa’n’t me.” The sling on 
the shotgun is an unqualified success and 
I shall have more to say on that subject 
in an early issue, just as soon as the fac¬ 
tory can turn me out a gun with a set of 
swivels similar to those used on the serv¬ 
ice rifle; the order is in and the story 
only waits on the arrival of the gun. 
The Tactical Hun 
T HE next task was to construct a suit¬ 
able target, and as the gun is built 
to stop charging Huns at short range 
I chose Target M, which is used in the 
army for training men to fire the service 
pistol quickly and effectively. This target 
is simply a conventional silhouette of a 
man standing 68 inches high and 19^2 
inches broad, and so as to secure a clean 
cut objective I cut my tactical Hun out 
of black paper and pasted him on a white 
background. When he was duly com¬ 
pleted and set up he had a figure like an 
Egyptian mummy, a sort of coffin-shaped 
Zulu charging across a snow-covered land¬ 
scape. He looked as big as all outdoors, 
but when a man stood beside him you dis¬ 
covered Herr Hun was exactly the right 
size. 
Viewed from the firing line, Target M 
stood out in startling contrast to the men 
in khaki who came up from the pit between 
shots to record the pattern made and paste 
up the shot holes; they looked like brown 
ghosts gliding into view, in fact, I never 
saw a better demonstration of the value 
of protective coloring than when my men 
stepped close to that black and white M 
Target. He looked so big and inviting 
that after I had finished puncturing him 
with buckshot, the bunch opened upv on 
him with their pistols and were startled to 
discover how easy it was to miss. Then 
my boys backed off 250 yards and cut loose 
on him with their rifles. In the late after¬ 
noon sun he looked as big as a barn door, 
yet there were many misses, hitting him 
looked so easy the shooters were careless 
in their holding; later they steadied down 
and got the white disk with due regular¬ 
ity. To hit a man in a vital spot at 250 
yards is not as easy as it looks and the 
practice gave my men some valuable ex¬ 
perience in placing their shots. We are 
going to add Target M to our permanent 
equipment, only the new one will be with¬ 
out a background and dressed in a Ger¬ 
man uniform. 
The Shooting Begins 
A FTER the target was set up we took 
a tape and measured off a hundred 
yards cut up into ten-yard gradua¬ 
tions. This done I opened up at the ten- 
yard line, then backed off to twenty yard •, 
and so on, until I reached the hundred- 
yard peg. I prepared some sheets of paper 
upon which the outline of Target M had 
been drawn to scale and after each shot 
was fired we would walk down to the tar¬ 
get, carefully plot the shots on my im¬ 
provised score book, record the maximum 
spread of the charge by measuring the 
distance between the widest shot holes and 
measure off a rectangle that would cover
