12. For airplanes, affording a lateral fire in the air in combat, and permitting the defense of the plane on a forced landing thus affording time for its repair or destruction.

13. For the augmentation of the fire power of all troops who normally only carry the pistol.

14. For the armament of Engineers, signal and all special troops. 

15. For every purpose where a maximum fire power, at short ranges, and even mid ranges, is required from a minimum number of men.

The Sub Machine Gun also has a definite place in the support of those arms, who are at present, owing to low defensive fire power, practically defenseless when surprised at the moderately short ranges, such as:

16. Emplaced machine guns.

17. Infantry howitzers and 37 mm. guns.

18. Pack howitzers and other mountain artillery.

19. Field Artillery (75 mm. guns and 105 mm. Howitzers) . 

Owing to the demands on the infantry, proper support for these arms is usually lacking. The use of the Sub Machine Gun, at the ranges at which these arms are endangered, will render them practically self-supporting.

A study of the campaigns and actions of the Civil War, down to and including the World War, reveals the fact that successful attacks and defenses, with inconsiderable exceptions, always included the range zone of the Sub Machine Gun, and practically all decisions were obtained within that zone.

It further appears that more frequently than not the entire engagement from beginning to end occurred within the range zone of the Sub Machine Gun. The great value of the Sub Machine Gun is therefore readily apparent. Effective long range fire by other than machine guns and artillery is the exception rather than the rule.

The ability of the Sub Machine Gun to actually deliver a devastating fire at the ranges where hits are mostly made, its effect in gaining fire superiority, and holding that superiority at ranges where its loss would be disastrous, cannot help but raise and maintain the morale of the attacking troops.

Its position in the fire fight and its special uses do not duplicate or infringe on the functions of the high powdered arms, or any foreseen. development of those arms.

It is an additional weapon, of low power, which meets and satisfies conditions that cannot be satisfied and met by high power weapons owing to their inherent limitations, and the inescapable conditions of short range combat.

To produce its full effect, it requires no change in organization., no special supply or training, or in fact any particular effort other than the furnishing of the gun, magazines, belt and pouch equipment for its one man unit.
