Gunsmithing Modern Firearms

Bullard Firearms is the story of a mechanical genius whose rifles and cartridges were the equal of any made in America in the 1880s, yet little of substance had been written about James H. Bullard or his arms prior to 1988, when the first edition, called Bullard Arms, was published.This much enlarged volume with over 1,000 black and white and 150 color plates, most not previously published, answers many of the questions posed in the first edition. The author hopes this book will continue on the path begun by the first edition and elevate the work and life of J.H. Bullard into the pantheon of extraordinary American gunmakers and inventors.

This is the absorbing story of the development, combat use and legacy of the influential sidearms used by the armed forces of the Soviet Union. Featuring archive and present-day photography and specially commissioned artwork, this is the story of the pistols that armed the forces of the Soviet Union and its allies during and after World War II. In 1930 the TT, a single-action semi-automatic pistol developed by Fedor Vasilyevich Tokarev and firing 7.62ï¿½mm ammunition, began to supplement the venerable Nagant M1895 revolver in Soviet military service. From 1933 the TT-33, a simplified version, was also issued; all three would equip Soviet and proxy forces throughout and after World War II, seeing action across the globe. In 1951 a new pistol designed by Nikolay Fyodorovich Makarov entered Soviet service; it became the primary Soviet military and police sidearm during the Cold War era and continued in use into the 21st century. The 9ï¿½mm Makarov round was used in various weapons used by Soviet allies, notably the Czech vz 82, the Hungarian Fè’… PA63 and the Polish P64 and P83.The PM was quickly joined by the Stechkin machine pistol. Other specialized versions of the Makarov were developed, including the PB suppressed version and the 5.45ï¿½mm PSM, a more compact version. Initially developed in 1990, the improved PMM version of the Makarov was intended primarily to increase the stopping power of the 9ï¿½mm round by chambering a higher-pressure load. In this study, noted weaponry expert Leroy Thompson tells the story of the Tokarev, Makarov, Stechkin and other handguns in service with Soviet and other forces around the world, exploring the development, combat use and legacy of these formidable firearms.

Great Hunting Rifles

Ein Kriegsreporter schreibt mit literarischer Wucht gegen die Verherrlichung einer Waffe Taxi, Cola, Kalaschnikow. Diese drei Worte versteht jeder Mensch auf der ganzen Welt. Kaum eine Waffe hat den Lauf des 20. Jahrhunderts mehr geprägt. Es ist die Waffe, die in der Geschichte der Menschheit die meisten Todesfälle bis heute verursachte. Nicht ohne Grund wurde die AK-47 zu einem Symbol der Revolte, der Massaker und Völkermorde.Der preisgekrönte Kriegsreporter Domenico Quirico nähert sich dieser Waffe auf zwei Ebenen: über die Autobiografie ihres Erfinders, Michail Kalaschnikow, und mittels seiner eigenen Erinnerungen an die Orte, an denen er der Waffe begegnete - von Mosambik über Gaza und Somalia bis Syrien, Tschetschenien und der Ukraine. Dabei zeigt Quirico die Kalaschnikow nicht als Instrument des Fortschritts, sondern der Gewalt und ermöglicht uns ein neues Verständnis der Konflikte unserer Zeit, die alle durch diese Waffe vereint sind.'Domenico Quirico hat ein hammerhartes Werk über die berühmteste Waffe der Welt geschrieben. Zugleich ist es ein Reisebericht durch die Hölle der vergangenen Jahrzehnte.''Der Autor Quirico, ein Mann, der das Leiden jenseits der Glorifizierungen mit eigenen Augen gesehen hat, entlarvt derlei Mythologisierung mit großer Überzeugungskraft.''Quiricos Schilderungen der Gewalt sind von einer dokumentarischen Härte, die an die Grenzen des Erträglichen führt.''Seine große Stärke liegt darin, dass er die historischen Zusammenhänge nicht nur analytisch durchdringt, sondern sie mit dem Fleisch und Blut seiner Erfahrung als Frontreporter anzureichern vermag.''Man mag über seine mäandernde Erzählweise manchmal den Kopf schütteln ¿ vergessen wird man dieses Buch trotzdem nicht.'Airen, WELT Online, 23.09.2025

Kalaschnikow. Wie eine Waffe unser Zeitalter der Konflikte prägt

Entering service in 1897, the Arisaka family of bolt-action rifles armed Japanese troops and others through two world wars and many other conflicts, including the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. Issued in long and short versions - the latter for cavalry and specialists - the Type 30 was the first main Arisaka model, arming Imperial Japan's forces during the Russo-Japanese War, though after the war it was refined into the Type 38, which would still be in use in 1945. The main Arisaka rifle of World War II though was the Type 99. Lighter and more rugged than the US M1903 Springfield rifle it would face in the initial battles in the Pacific, it was produced in four main variants, including a sniping model and a take-down parachutist's rifle. Featuring full-colour artwork as well as archive and close-up photographs, this is the absorbing story of the rifles arming Imperial Japan's forces, from the trenches of Mukden in 1905 to the beaches of Okinawa 40 years later.

Featuring specially commissioned colour artwork and drawing upon a range of sources, this engaging study casts new light on origins, combat record, and reputation of the Arisaka bolt-action rifles.

The Devil's Hand

A brilliant and bloody examination of the axe's foundational role in human history, from prehistoric violence, to war and executions, splashed across newspaper headlines and popular culture.For as long as the axe has been in our hands, we have used it to kill.Much like the wheel, the boat, and the telephone, the axe is a transformative piece of technology ? one that has been with us since prehistory. And just as early humans used the axe to chop down trees, hunt for food, and whittle tools, they also used it to murder. Over time, this particular use has endured: as the axe evolved over centuries to fit the needs of new agricultural, architectural, and social development, so have our lethal uses for it.Whack Job is the story of the axe, first as a convenient danger and then an anachronism, as told through the murders it has been employed in throughout history: from the first axe murder nearly half a million years ago, to the brutal harnessing of the axe in warfare, and from its use in King Henry VIII's favourite method of execution, to Lizzie Borden and the birth of modern pop culture. Whack Job sheds brilliant light on this familiar implement, this most human of weapons. This is a critical examination of violence, an exploration of how technology shapes human conflict, the cruel and sacred rituals of execution and battle, and the ways humanity fits even the most savage impulses into narratives of the past and present.

Tracing the history and development of gun-making in Birmingham, England--for many years a center of the world's firearms industry--this book covers innovations in design and manufacture of both military and sporting arms from 1660 through 1960. The city is perhaps best known for mass-producing some of the most battle-tested weapons in history, including the Brown Bess musket, the Webley revolver and the Lee-Enfield rifle. Yet Birmingham's gun-makers have carried on a centuries-long tradition of crafting high quality hand-made sporting guns.
