Reaktion Books Paths of Fire: The Gun and the World It Made
Book SynopsisIf you squeeze the trigger of a Kalashnikov a bullet is kicked up the barrel by an archaic chemical explosion that would have been quite familiar to Oliver Cromwell or General Custer. The gun, antique, yet contemporary, still dominates the world. Political and international structures and consumer culture have been moulded by research that firearms have provoked; the new science of Galileo and Newton owed much to the Renaissance study of ballistics as well as more recent mass production and artificial intelligence. This book follows the history of the gun from the first cannons, to modern gunnery, to Star Wars and the yet to be realised electrical futures of rays and beams.Trade Review‘This is a brilliant book about guns which isn't about guns. Instead, it's about progress, intellectual and industrial, seen from a wholly original and convincing new perspective. Full of surprises, unexpected connections and portraits of remarkable figures from our recent history, I can recommend it without reservation.’ – Andrew Marr ‘Son of a gun! Andrew Nahum is no flash in the pan. But if I called him a hot shot, he would go ballistic. Indeed, the everyday prevalence of firearm metaphors reveals the deep resonance the gun has in culture. Nahum is a distinguished historian of science and technology, and he has written Paths of Fire with a nice combination of cool authority and gentle wit. It is a completely original study. Who cannot be engrossed by connecting Buffalo Bill to cybernetics, via Mikhail Kalashnikov?’ – Stephen Bayley

Book SynopsisOnce again, firearms expert Bill Harriman shares his extensive knowledge in this BASC produced owner's manual. Topics covered will include: * The pros and cons for each type of shotgun and the different bores * The pros and cons for the differenct types of rifle - bolt action, straight pull, semi-auto (.22) and calibres * Law and security and safety * Cleaning and routine maintenance - stock oiling, putting into storage * Patterning a shotgun , fitting a scope and zeroing * Basic introduction to ballistics - 1" high @ 100 yards etc - ballistic charts/drop/windage etc * Charts and tables - velocities, bullet weights explainedTrade ReviewCleaning a gun is an invaluable way of getting to know it, to ensure its reliability and to preserve it for future generations. Harriman's guide covers safety basics, legal considerations, cleaning materials and tools and implements... Gun cleaning is a story in itself, a part of the sporting fabric of life. Harriman's book is an essential guide for the novice and a pertinent reminder for the rest of us. -- Alexandra Henton * The Field *What an absolute gem this 100-page pocket-sized manual from Quiller Publishing is, and what better time than the start of the British game bird shooting season to release it. This well-produced, succinct manual covers the cleaning and maintenance of the main categories of firearms: shotguns, sporting rifles, air rifles, ex-military rifles and black powder firearms, as well as hints on restoring antique and vintage guns. The text and explanations are easy to follow and the clear colour photos augment the book nicely. I also like how the back few pages are reserved for personal notes – something all firearm owners and tinkers will certainly appreciate. Highly recommended for novice and more experienced firearm owners alike. -- Gary Creighton * British Country Sports *Although I have been shooting and cleaning both modern and black powder guns for many years, I learned a lot from reading this small book. There is very good advice in the 'legal considerations' chapter that would protect many a licence holder. Cleaning products and tools and comprehensively covered, but the author also talks about everything from black powder, through air rifles and shotguns, to centrefire military rifles. He also touches on recording and marking your guns — a subject most owners, I would think, don't consider. It is not a manual on how to restore a badly-damaged antique gun, but it does advise on most work and materials with which to maintain and carry out small repairs. Overall, this book is an interesting read and would help any firearms owner. -- Helen Lang (winner of the BASC social media book competition) * Shooting and Conservation *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Safety First Legal Considerations Cleaning Materials Tools and Implements Cleaning Shotguns Cleaning Sporting Rifles Cleaning Air Rifles Cleaning Ex-Military Rifles Cleaning Black Powder Firearms Restoring Antique and Vintage Guns Marking and Recording Your Guns Maintenance of Ancillary Equipment

Pen & Sword Books Ltd Handgun Story
Book SynopsisThe Handgun Story traces the fascinating history of the 'one hand gun' from its crude fourteenth-century origins to the sophisticated products of today. As technology has progressed, handguns have got smaller and deadlier, to be carried in holsters, pockets and even lady's mufflers. Today they are the weapons of choice for undercover agents and would - be assassins; ideally suited for both attack and self-defence. The earliest pistols had a tendency to misfire, but this was cured by the cap-lock. Cap-lock revolvers proved a massive success in the American Civil War with hundreds of thousands used on each side. Self-contained metal-case cartridges were to bring a fundamental change to handgun design: not only by allowing the introduction of revolvers that ejected automatically or were easily reloaded, but also by paving the way for the automatic pistol. World War I provided the handgun with a proving ground. At the end of the hostilities, with so much surplus weaponry, work on the handgun could have ceased; instead, a new developmental phase was begun by the nations that had emerged from the crumbling Imperial empires. During World War II the efficiency of well-established designs was confirmed and new designs, such as the Walther P. 38, showed their potential. The emergence of the submachine-gun in 1945 reduced the status of the handgun - but only temporarily. The need for efficient self-defence shows no signs of lessening; and the rise in shooting for sport, particularly with the revolver, has sharpened the quest for efficiency. The never ending search for advanced production techniques shows that the handgun has as much a future in the twenty-first century as it had in the heyday of the Wild West, or in the trenches of Passchendaele.
