SPECIALLY designed for de-
fending military airports
against attack by enemy
parachutists, a portable all-
purpose gun tested recently
at Floyd Bennett Field, New
York City, fires tear-gas and
smoke shells, parachute flares,
and one-pound fragmenta-
tion bombs. Projectiles are
placed in a twelve-shot maga-
zine resembling a revolver
cylinder, which can be
changed in three seconds for
reloading. Weighing only
forty pounds, the versatile
weapon has a barrel of 11-
inch bore and can be folded
up quickly for carrying. It
is believed that a few of these
guns could ward off any
parachute attack.
