Mr. Eisenberg. How long have you been working, Mr. Simmons, in the area of evaluation of weapons?
Mr. Simmons. Since 1951, in various classes of weapons.
Since 1957, however, I have had the responsibility for the laboratories on small arms.
Mr. Eisenberg. Has part of it—of these—have part of these evaluations been conducted with military rifles, Mr. Simmons?
Mr. Simmons. Most of our evaluations have been associated with military rifles.
Mr. Eisenberg. How long altogether have you spent in this area?
Mr. Simmons. In the area of rifles?
Mr. Eisenberg. Yes.
Mr. Simmons. Some experience beginning from about 1953. I have been continuously concerned with this since 1957.
Mr. Eisenberg. Can you give a rough estimate of how many weapons you have evaluated as to accuracy?
