A COMPRESSED AIR-GUN WHICH THE INVENTORS SAY WILL SHOOT 10.000 TIMES A MINUTE—AND POSSIBLY FAS- TER HAS BEEN, DEMONS- TRATED AT LOS ANGELES WITH.. HALF-INCH BALL- BEARINGS AS BULLETS.:

At 10,000 feet the missiles pier- ced aeroplane armour-plate and cut a three-inch oak plank in two.

The gun emitted only a gentle hissing noise.. The steel balls shot out so quickly that they struck brilliant sparks from each other at the targets.

The gun muzzle was cooler after the firing than before. In- strument dials indicated that the air pressure was 150 pounds square inch. The inventors said 2,000 pounds pressure would be feasible..

Anyone who can spray plants with a hose could knock down a diving plane with this gun, sald W. B. Hale, one of the inventors.
