It would command any short-range attack upon the workers." "Good! good! We will put riflemen there. As soon as General Garnett is up, send him to me." From the not-distant road came a heavy rumble of wheels and the sound of horses' feet. "There are the guns, now, sir." "Yes. They must wait until nightfall to get into position. Send Captain McLaughlin to me in half an hour's time." "Yes, sir.
Control of the air involves the simultaneous use of two types of planes first, the long-range heavy bomber; and, second, the light bombers, dive bombers, torpedo planes, and short-range pursuit planes, all of which are essential to the protection of the bases and of the bombers themselves.
Webber seemed absolutely appalled. "Where's that gun you had?" Kieran panted. "It's not a gun, only a short-range shocker," he said. "It wouldn't stop these things. Look at them!" They bounded, sporting around them, howling with a sound like laughter. They were as large as leopards and their eyes glowed in the cluster-light.
And have you seen the telecast we've been using a view of it, with a semantically correct spoken paraphrase?" Lancedale nodded. "And I've also noticed that those posters have been acquiring different obscene crayon-drawings, too. That's just typical of the short-range Joyner-Graves mentality.

As I would be under short-range fire and in an open country, I took nobody with me, except, I believe, a bugler, who stayed some distance to the rear. I rode from our right around to our left.

"The gas troops will, in the future, handle all short-range methods of firing gas, smoke, or high explosive. They will deliver the greatest quantities of material possible up to ranges of a mile and a half or a mile and three-quarters.
The appearance of the copter threw the men outside into confused excitement. They ran about, aiming their short-range heat beams futilely up at the rising copter. A military tank, undoubtedly the one the Chief had been told about, spun around the corner. It stopped, and its guns swung upward toward the copter. But they remained silent.
