The listing, Small Arms From The Civil War To The Present Day has ended.

From classic US Civil War-period rifles such as the Springfield M1855 to the latest in personal defense weapons and hand-held rocket launches, Small Arms covers all of the most significant and successful small arms produced during the past 150 years.

Each category of small arms — handguns, rifles, submachine guns, automatic support weapons, grenades, and launchers — is explored in turn and all the most famous examples of each type of weapon are featured, such as the M16, Colt .44 Magnum, and Maxim machine gun. Informative and accessible text places each weapon within the military, political, and technological context of its period and includes a complete design and development history.

Full-color photographs and artworks of the weapons accompany the text, and specification tables provide key technical data. Stunning photographs and paintings show the weapons in action around the world and in conflicts ranging from the Crimean War to the war in Iraq.

Special double-page features also provide a more detailed comparison of key weapons within specific categories including combat magnums, precision rifles and submachine guns for VIP protection.
