New Methods of Machine-Gun Fire is a book written by Friedrich Von Merkatz and first published in 1916. The book is an instructional guide on the use of machine guns in warfare, specifically focusing on the tactics and techniques used by German soldiers during World War I. Merkatz begins by discussing the importance of machine guns in modern warfare and the advantages they offer on the battlefield. He then goes on to describe the various types of machine guns in use at the time, including the Maxim, the Schwarzlose, and the Madsen. The bulk of the book is devoted to the practical aspects of machine gun use, including how to set up and maintain the guns, how to choose firing positions, and how to aim and fire effectively. Merkatz also covers topics such as ammunition selection, the use of grenades and other explosives, and the coordination of machine gun fire with other elements of a military unit. Throughout the book, Merkatz emphasizes the importance of training and discipline in the effective use of machine guns. He provides numerous examples of successful machine gun tactics used in previous battles and offers suggestions for how soldiers can adapt these tactics to different types of terrain and enemy positions. Overall, New Methods of Machine-Gun Fire is a comprehensive guide to the use of machine guns in warfare, written by an experienced military officer with firsthand knowledge of the subject.
