RIFLE STORY: An Illustrated History from 1756 to the Present Day

The Rifle Story tells the fascinating story of the development and use of the rifle, from its advent in central Europe for target shooting through its first hesitant use in war to the precision shooting machines of today.This detailed book tracks not only the impact of technology on the ability to hit targets effectively at ever-increasing range, but also highlights the continual bickering between inventors who felt that novelty was the same as progress, military hierarchies that were often blinkered by out-of-date thinking, and parsimonious governments only interested in keeping weaponry costs to the absolute minimum.The Rifle Story presents the trials and tribulations of the rifled long-arm in a concise and lucid style.
