The relativistic addition of parallel velocities is derived involving relativity only via the time dilation formula, avoiding the length contraction used by many authors in conjunction with time dilation. The followed scenario involves a machine gun that fires successive bullets, considered from its rest frame and from the rest frame of the target, the bullets hit.
