Up to and including forty yards you can 
drop your man with absolute certainty. 
At fifty, sixty and seventy yards with 
a reasonable degree of precision. 
At eighty, ninety and a hundred yards 
the Hun might slip through the charge, 
but a second shot is almost sure to bring 
him down, and I doubt if he could escape 
a third under any circumstances. And 
when you pause to remember that three 
shots can be delivered in a second and a 
half, the chances of batting over a Hun 
a hundred yards away are extremely good. 
Also at that distance the average spread 
of your charge is about nine feet, and if 
you should chance to miss the particular 
Teuton you are gunning for, the chances 
are good that you will muss up one of 
his “Kamerads.” The value of this gun 
for repelling troops charging in mass for¬ 
mation is too obvious to admit of further 
comment. 
For night work it is the gun of guns, 
because a hold that would cause a miss 
when using a rifle, will result in a clean 
kill when using this modern musket. Once 
darkness has closed in a man cannot see 
well enough to shoot beyond the range of 
this weapon which is loaded so that every 
hark is a “nine-to-one shot” with the odds 
in your favor. Nor does this gun’s use¬ 
fulness end on the battle line. When 
guarding prisoners, trucks, ammunition 
trains, supply depots or any other form of 
government property located in crowded 
districts where the firing of a service rifle 
is a greater menace to some innocent by¬ 
stander than the marauder for whom the 
shot is intended, the military shotgun is 
an ideal weapon. And not the least of its 
virtues is the moral effect such weapons 
possess. It takes a lot more courage to 
face a charge of buckshot than a single 
rifle ball and a gun that can strike terror 
to the heart of the German nation after 
four years of grilling war, can be safely 
counted upon to keep I. W. W.’s, pro-Ger¬ 
mans and other species of human reptiles 
quiet and harmless until such time as they 
can be rounded up and dealt with by “due 
process of law.” 
And to show that my good opinion of 
this weapon is shared by other close stu¬ 
dents of gunology, I quote Kendrick Sco¬ 
field, who edits Arms and the Man, a semi¬ 
official weekly devoted entirely to mili¬ 
tary rifle shooting: 
“It is gratifying to learn that the Ger¬ 
man newspaper man, ostensibly at least, 
regards the use of the shotgun with hor-
