Customer Reviews

Interesting and informative
This book is an excellent weapons reference guide. Each entry has a picture and specifications table along with a few paragraphs of the history of the weapon. It includes a very wide range of weaponry from pistols and revolvers, through assault rifles and sniper rifles to anti-tank weapons and surface-to-air missiles. The only aspect that could be improved on is the number of weapons in each section.

Small, neat and concise
I found this book really helpful for finding small pieces of information about various infantry weapons, it does not have every weapon avaliable, but it has the most well known weapons and is a good book for the price.

The vital guide to combat guns and infantry weapons
This book is a very good basic guide. It goes into detail on some weapons but not on others. Its really meant for a quick reference to the basics of each weapons. Although it is small it manages to pack an awful lot in. If your looking for guide on everything from pistols and rifles to anti-tank weapons then this is for you. It has few if any mistakes in it unlike the jane's guide so i highly recommend this book.
