Tale Of Sarna The Shield Warrior First United Army

They Return

Norm grunted after dismounting my I'm getting old, riding takes it out of me. Let's hope Sarna takes this meeting with Missasip and Bama Command well. So they can plan out this War for
Spring. Jena laughed she'll yell and get moody.
Louse smiled yeah then go, tell them how they'll
fight the War. Norm laughed well lets tell her. Get
it over with.

Ben looked up well, look the wayward bunch.
Welcome back. Louse Kit managed to get that gun.
Jena Good to see you, Norm how was the trip?
Good learned a lot got a few things accomplished.
I'd like a coffee then could we call meeting say in
an hour? Ben nodded sure, the rest are out in
the field training. Take at least that to get them
back here. I'll see to it, Louse that gun is in the
arms room. If you would like a look.

Yes I would, seen pictures of a few machine guns
Norm Jena you like to come? I'm like Father lets
get a coffee cut the road dust. Louse laughed yes
keep me in business, coffee sounds good.
Ben turned before I send a runner Louse the Martin guns? Later Ben in the meeting think we'll
all be happy. Ben nodded with a smile good.

Ben sent Liza and a two others to inform the rest.
Got Lana out of a cannon firing class. Headed to the arms room. Lana Louse should be in the arms
room. Let's head to it see what he figures out.
I'm with you Ben. Any word on the Martin gun?
He just said we would all be happy.

Louse so whats the verdict? Ben Lana good to see
you. Its a medium machine gun, thirty caliber
roughly seven hundred rounds a minute. Maybe
more can't remember off hand. Very reliable weapon. Its heavy not so, that it couldn't be used
as standard field weapon. So this gets more confusing. Why haven't they used this more?
I'd like to send this to Lucas, see what he thinks.
He could just maybe build a few of these.

Norm looked at Louse, that we will talk on at the
meeting. Louse we must watch what we do, for
the sake of all. Louse shook his head, that may have to go out the window Sir. Norm said lets hope
we can at least control it some. I need to think,
I'll just walk a bit bye your leave.

Lana asked what was that about? Jena said later,
Father and Louse disagree some. Let him think.
Why don't we all go to the Inn wait for the rest.

Norm walked the stockade thinking, if we allow
to much at once. It could send us back the way
we came. If not enough we may fail. I fear we
may loose. Think what is the course, if the tables
were turned. Would not our enemy use and try
to make our weapons. War escalates weapon development. Always has. I need to talk to Stanson
get his thoughts, hell I know his. Advance make
weapons like they have, or close to it.

The Spencer rifle wasn't in total agreement on it.
Winchester was next out, I guess we best do
what is needed. Alas it maybe to late. I was hoping
they lost technology least to where we had a chance. We aren't dead yet! We'll find away, not
as if underdeveloped Lands haven't chased away
more advanced Lands. Coffee is cold I'm cold.
Best head in.

Sarna sat down, looks like I'm the last here. Uncle
Cousin, Louse. Good to see you all. Tell me what
has happened? Norm said Louse you may start,
think all want know of the Martins.

Louse started first off, the machine gun is a medium gun thirty caliber. Infantry can carry
it normally two man crew sometimes three.
Gunner two ammo bearers. I believe it fired
about six hundred rounds a minute. That I'm
not certain on. The Martins lets say five are on
the way. Procured from weapons depot Grandbay.
My Contact is reliable payment when they arrive.
Martins will be fifty caliber two,two hundred rounds a minute, thirty four hundred a minute three of those. Stacked magazines, four each gun.
capable of holding six hundred rounds.
