Note 282 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 5)
Walter Krueger translation
The destructive power of the projectiles fired from a machine gun, as they strike within a small space, is, of course, much greater than that of the scattered projectiles of a body of infantry. Trees having a circumference of 30 cm. are felled by machine gun fire in about 15 seconds at a range of 450 m.
