Book Description
Five centuries of small arms development are encompassed in this superbly illustrated directory which features more than 1,000 of the most important pistols, rifles, revolvers, submachine, light, and heavy machine guns made and used throughout the world. With the use of hundreds of specially taken photographs, accompanied by a brief technical description of each weapon, this huge volume is the most comprehensive directory of its kind ever published.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF GUNS: An Illustrated Directory of Over 1,000 Military and Sporting Firearms (Hardcover)
This is a VERY comprehensive book which runs the gamut from early firearms up to and including (most of) the modern arms found today in sport or military usage. The photos are first rate, as are the descriptives at the beginning of each chapter. I can overlook the typos (frequent as they might be) in favor of the sheer history of featured weapons, such as the guns of the old west, and the civil war era. The book is also sectioned off into pistols/revolvers, rifles/shotguns, submachine guns, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns. Most every country that manufactures these firearms is covered, although some glaring omissions are present, most notably the Walther P99 auto pistol. Since this volume came out in 2000, it would defy logic that this weapon would NOT be included, since it's appearance in 1998-1999. Still, this is a nice addition to ANY coffee table (or bookshelf), and is well worth the paper it's printed on.
