The most effective German anti- aircraft guns are a double-barrel- r-d gun and a light-machine gun which fires below the high range of their more powerful 3-inch weapons. Their 3-inch gun is good but is otttclassed by the 3-inch guns of t-he United States which can fire eighty to one hundred aimed rounds a minute to 25,000 feet.
