Mr. Simmons. The targets are standard head-and-shoulders silhouettes, and they consist of approximately 2 square feet in area.
Mr. Eisenberg. How many marksmen were involved?
Mr. Simmons. We used three riflemen.
Mr. Eisenberg. And can you tell us what their background was?
Mr. Simmons. Yes. All three riflemen are rated as Master by the National Rifle Association. Two of them are civilian gunners in the Small Arms Division of our Development and Proof Services, and the third is presently in the Army, and he has considerable background as a rifleman, and also has a Master rating.
Mr. Eisenberg. Each fired one or more series of three rounds?
Mr. Simmons. Each fired two series of three rounds, using the telescopic sight. Then one of the firers repeated the exercise using the iron sight—because we had no indication whether the telescope had been used.
Mr. Eisenberg. So the total number of rounds fired was what?
Mr. Simmons. 21.
Mr. Eisenberg. Did you bring with you targets or copies of the targets?
