Mr. Frazier. That would depend on the accuracy which was necessary or needed or which you desired. I think you could fire the shots in that length of time, but whether you could place them, say, in a 3- or 4-inch circle without either resting or possibly using the sling as a support—I doubt that you could accomplish that.
Mr. Eisenberg. How—these targets at which you fired stationary at 100 yards—how do you think your time would have been affected by use of a moving target?
Mr. Frazier. It would have slowed down the shooting. It would have lengthened the time to the extent of allowing the crosshairs to pass over the moving target.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you give an amount?
Mr. Frazier. Approximately 1 second. It would depend on how fast the target was moving, and whether it was moving away from you or towards you or at right angles.
Mr. Eisenberg. Do you think you could shorten your time with further practice with the weapon?
Mr. Frazier. Oh, yes.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you give us an estimate on that?
Mr. Frazier. I fired three shots in 4.6 seconds at 25 yards with approximately a 3-inch spread, which is the equivalent of a 12-inch spread at a hundred yards. And I feel that a 12-inch relative circle could be reduced to 6 inches or even less with considerable practice with the weapon.
Mr. Eisenberg. That is in the 4.6-second time?
