When the trigger 1. is pulled, the light strikes the tar- get instead of a bullet. Major Craig has built a_so box for amplifying the noise of machine gun fire to make prac- tice realistic. Two minutes of rapid 2al shooting requires unds of .30 caliber 45. The army allots only 610 rounds—about a minute of rapid fire—to train a gunner. But Wyoming’s recruits can fire the beam gun as much as they please. and there no wear on the fir- ing apparatus. The gun was d veloped by the major and oth army officers upon basic ideas advanced by Capt. Charles H Coates, now of San Francisco. Its range is only 500 feet, but a smaller target is used to com- pensate for shortened range dis- tance fire in 1,000 THE WEATHER Observation taken at 7:30 a. m 75th Mer.
