Rifles & Combat Shotguns: Assault & Sniper Rifles (Brasseys Modern Military Equipment) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Part of the "Brassey's Modern Military Equipment" series, this book looks at the range of high-tech infantry rifles available to today's armies - their design, development and capabilities - as well as the specialist sniper rifles, combat shotguns and other shoulder-fired weapons. The infantryman's best friend is his personal weapon - his rifle. Today's assault rifles, however, are worlds apart from the bulky single-shot weapons of World Wars I and II. The modern assault rifle is light, fast-handling and unleashes a hail of automatic fire at the tough of a trigger. John A. Norris is the author of "Anti-Tank Weapons" and co-author (with Will Fowler) of "Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare".
