It Kas not possible to dcscriI)rl !?& fire-poxer capabilities of a
squad that was equipped with3 ccrt:ljIJ fyi+e of machine gun, for example,
without knoliing what ty-pe of machine ;:kr :t wls. One machine gun might bc
cap3ble of 3 sustained firing of 40 T‘~P.vI~:% per minute, while another
might fire 100 rounds per minute. ‘!)I*: t.~r.zc of thd first machine gun
might be 6,000 meters, while the r;ure:l’ r,l tic second, faster machine gun
might be 3,000 meters. Clearly, 3ny CifJ+f 1 native statement of the capabilities
