(2) Quick fire.—This is the normal method, and consists in firing about 100 rounds at a time.
(3) Rapid fire by individual guns.—Each gun fires as rapidly as possible; used only as a last resort, or against a specially favourable target.
The section (2 guns) is regarded as the unit, and the spirit of the Regulations is that the machine guns are particularly for use with cavalry, and must possess to the full the mobility and dash of that arm.
Dismounted action for the cavalry is not favourably regarded, and the machine guns are expected to relieve the cavalry of this duty.
