A New Rapid-Firing Gun

A new gun, the use of which may mean the revolutionizing of the most modern methods of war on land, and which for lightness, power, and general effectiveness is said to be the most terribly destructive weapon ever invented, is now being manufactured at the arsenal in Springfield, Mass. This gun, weighing less than twenty pounds, and manipulated after the fashion of an ordinary fowling-piece, will pour out a stream of bullets, when in action, at the rate of 400 shots a minute.
