Light Sub-Machine Gun for Army Fires 500 Shots a Minute

Item

Possessing all the fire power and effectiveness of the army’s standard weapon in its category, a new type sub-machine gun weighs one-half as much and costs only one-third as much to manufacture. Bearing the name Reising, after its inventor, the six-and-one-half-pound gun is suitable for regular army use and especially meets the need of parachute troops. It fires forty-five caliber shells at the rate of 500 per minute, and can be dismantled for cleaning in about one and one-half minutes. Plans are made to produce the gun at the rate of 1,000 a day.
