Mr. Frazier. Yes; considerable. Each time a cartridge case hit the floor, it would bounce anywhere from 8 inches to 10 to 15 feet.
Mr. McCloy. Make a lot of noise?
Mr. Frazier. Yes; a clatter.
Mr. Eisenberg. Have you tested Commission Exhibit 139 to determine its accuracy under rapid-fire conditions?
Mr. Frazier. Yes; I have.
Mr. Eisenberg. Can you describe these tests?
Mr. Frazier. A series of three tests were made. When we first received the rifle, there was not an opportunity to test it at long range, so we tested it at short range. After we had obtained sample bullets and cartridge cases from it, we fired accuracy and speed tests with it. Three examiners did the firing, all three being present at the same time.
The first tests were made at 15 yards, and shooting at a silhouette target.
Mr. Eisenberg. A silhouette of a man?
Mr. Frazier. A paper silhouette target of a man; yes.
