GDG- Re:long range riflfe fire

[Biggsk at aol.com]

Dick,
 
I have read accounts that in the fighting around Santiago, Cuba in the  
Span-Am War, with Spanish troops using German Mausers, Americans operating in  the 
rear areas were hit by Mauser bullets that passed through battle lines to  
indiscriminately strike targets well to the rear.
 
While not like the aimed fire story of WW1 that you posted, it still shows  
what these weapons could do and indeed shows what could have happened if troops 
 are properly trained.
 
BTW - my story about the Thompson submachine gun lifting up was told to me  
by a then FBI agent!
