From Hand Cannons to high-tech anti-materiel sniper rifles, the imperative of the weapons designer has always been to produce a weapon that is faster, deadlier, and more effective than the weapon in the hands of the opponent. This book traces the development of Guns from prehistory to the battlefields of the twenty-first century
