B—12 NEW MACHNE CUN T0 CUARD BRTAN Fleet Equipped With Rapid- Fire Weapons to Repel Bombers. By Csble to The Star, LONDON, September 10.—The aerial bugaboo which has hung over London since the war-time raids by German Zeppelins and Gothas is only now be- ing laid with the successful trials of the improved type of anti-aircraft gun for use on sea and land. The Imperial ‘War Council long has worried over the increasing vulnerability of London to air attack, and has continually sought new weapons with which to forestall air raids on the empire's capital. Now, however, the improved type of anti- afrcraft gun for use on land and sea seems to fulfil! a need The new weapon is & muitiple ma- chine gun of considerable size with an extremely rapid rate of fire, and, fur- thermore, has projectiles which fly in a constant stream and are large enough to stop any plan T been mounted aboard and cruisers of the eventually will be adapted to the aerial defenses of the cf dockyards of England. To Repel Low Flyers. The new guns, ordnance experts de- clare, may cause a complete re-estimate of the powersof aircraft in low-flying attacks on targets. Although the new weapon does not replace the ordinary anti-aircraft gun firing shells, it is con- fidently hoped that with the new in- strument it will be possible successfully to engage low-flying aircraft whose ob- ject it is to drop torpedoes and bombs. Experts here do not assert that the new gun will be able to engage planes gun, discharging & comparstively small | ojectile, in which all of its many | | barrels are fired simultaneously, will act | | much the same way as a shotgun used | |to_drive away marauding birds. | “'These new weapons, which already | have been mounted aboard ships of the British fleet, will go a long way toward strengthening the defense of “Britain's iron wall” against all forms of attack ' by aircraft, and therefore remove a| | menace which not long ago was _con- | sidered the most dangerous. When | adapted for land use, which will not be | difficult, the new gun will increase | aerfal defenses of cities and dockyards. Trials Convince Experts. There are two types of the aerial machine guns, one having eight bar- | rels, the other four. Naturally, the greatest secrecy is being preserved as to the methods for aiming the new guns and for controlling their mount- ings. These questions have been threshed out in a series of trials which extended over a period of years. Naval gunnery experts. however, are now satisfied they have produced a weapon Wwhich. meets all_requirements. It is known here that other navies are working along the same line. During the recent' maneuvers at sea it was noticeable that high British | naval officers viewed with equanimity | the snectacular attacks made by air upor: their ships. This was because they knew that were it possible’ to take counter measures there would be an- | other story. Now that the new gun is being introduced, there will be an even greater feeling that aircraft can be driven off or shot down before serious damage is done (Copyright. 1930.)
