Download or read book Webley Air Pistols written by Gordon Bruce and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a long history of involvement in the design and production of firearms, the Birmingham firm of Webley & Scott is probably better known to the general public for its manufacture of airguns than for any other product. Until now, there has been no published reference that concentrates exclusively on the history and development of Webley air pistols. This book has been prepared to offer a comprehensive guide for all those interested in the subject and who appreciate the traditional British craftsmanship entailed. It embraces all models based upon the same initial patent, which were produced between the years 1924 and 1999, commencing with the original 'Mark 1' and progressing through twelve other models to the final 'Webley Tempest' introduced more than half a century later. In addition to the pistols themselves, there are sections of the book relating to pellet styles and various shooting accessories produced by the same company. The whole work is divided into twenty-two sections, the text being accompanied throughout with 226 original photographs and over 70 line illustrations, each of which has been prepared by the author.

Download or read book Custom Classic and Otherwise AWESOME AIR PISTOLS written by Ron Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airgun author, champion and hunter Ron Robinson chronicles decades of heretofore unexplored air pistol horizons in his uniquely wry, provocative, and self-effacing writing style. In twelve chapters chock-full of dozens of full-color photos, the author exposes his readers to such unheard of air pistol epiphanies as half-inch groups at FIFTY YARDS, air pistols capable of medium game and varmints, his founding of air pistol field target competition, and capturing State and National Champion titles with such unique air pistols as only he would or could employ to achieve the seemingly impossible with AIR PISTOLS! Robinson's compelling writing style compliments his airgun exploits; direct quotes perhaps the best way to sample his unique style and substance. "We love our toys, you and I. Good thing we're fascinated by such tools; because lacking such benign interests, we'd never get our minds out of the gutter! Of few things more fascinating than mechanical things (and, arguably, females), are POWERFUL mechanical things! This Korean maxi-blaster PCP pistol possesses capabilities beyond what most folks, shooters, and (even) airgunners might imagine." "To call my hunting means and methods unusual might understate the truth of the matter." "Just how many shooting aids, accessories, gadgets and gizmos are appropriate in games of shooting skill?" "Handgunning is one of the most challenging of all shooting pursuits, consequently also rife with obstacles, pitfalls, opinions and misinformation. With handgunning being such a challenging pursuit, finding the best sighting system for the specific purpose can return huge dividends in accuracy and results. Certainly as compared to some popular, retentive airgun nonsenses that return little to none! This chapter will explore handgun sighting equipment choices in the hope of bringing the strengths and weaknesses of each option into focus." "But no matter how fantastic any of it might sound, rest assured, the truth is fantastic enough for our purposes! No bullshit required."

Download or read book GATS written by Malcolm Atkins and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gat is a generic term used to cover a multitude of push in barrel cheap and not so cheap junior air pistols from many manufacturers. For more than a century they provided children and adults with endless amusement at very low cost. Because of their perceived cheapness very little has been written in detail about these pistols and this book is an attempt to redress that balance. The author has been shooting since the age of eight, when he obtained a cut down 9mm garden gun for rat reduction and progressed through the following fifty odd years to shooting everything from airguns, pistols, rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders, cannon and submachine guns, even with all that there is a still a huge amount of enjoyment to be had from a fine day in the back garden with a junior air pistol and a handful of pellets and targets.

Download or read book Rimfire Rifles A Buyer s and Shooter s Guide written by Steve Markwith and published by Prepper Press. This book was released on with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to a whole series of useful firearms, beginning with the well-known .22 Long Rifle. The venerable “twenty-two” hosts a wide array of interesting loads, including some ultra-quiet choices and fairly nasty high-speed rounds. Even hotter rimfire calibers include the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, plus three small-bore derivatives: the .17 Mach II, .17 Hornady Rimfire Magnum, and Winchester’s high velocity .17 Super Magnum. Careful shopping can provide us with a useful rimfire (or maybe even two) with which to quietly harvest small game or eliminate pests. An economical .22 LR firearm can also serve as a great high-powered rifle trainer if similar function is considered. In a pinch, it might even work for self-defense. The rimfires can’t do everything, but they can do a lot once fully understood. One trait is easy to overlook until you start shooting. They’re lots of fun! This book will lead the way from beginning to end.

Download or read book Textbook of Pistols and Revolvers written by Julian S. Hatcher and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1935, Textbook of Pistols and Revolvers is a treatise on handguns of the early twentieth century. Written by Major Julian S. Hatcher, an expert on the subject of firearms of all sorts, readers will gain invaluable insight into everything to do with handheld firearms of the 1930s. In his introduction, Hatcher emphasizes that he has made an earnest effort to make this book accessible for both novices and experts. Novices who know nothing whatsoever about firearms and their use can easily learn from this book, while experts will find a technical reference book where “the results of many experiments with pistols and revolvers and their ammunition are tabulated in convenient form.” Covering such subjects as the different methods of shooting and using hand firearms; their mechanism, care and repair; their interior and exterior ballistics; the peculiar suitability of the different kinds for various purposes; the relative effectiveness or stopping power of the various calibers and types of gun and ammunition; and many more, this book is an immense store of knowledge on early handguns. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for hunters and firearms enthusiasts. We publish books about shotguns, rifles, handguns, target shooting, gun collecting, self-defense, archery, ammunition, knives, gunsmithing, gun repair, and wilderness survival.

While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Download or read book Air Rifles A Buyer s and Shooter s Guide written by Steve Markwith and published by Prepper Press. This book was released on with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air-powered guns offer many useful possibilities for informed shooters. First, we can mail-order both airguns and their ammunition, which don’t fall under the jurisdiction of BATF (check your local regulations). Airguns also tend to be quiet – a useful advantage if low-impact hunting is necessary. The right choice will have adequate power for small game, and possibly even deer. From here it gets better since uninformed people will lump them all together as simple BB guns. In fact, airguns still maintain social acceptance not only domestically, but also around the globe. As a result, sophisticated designs have evolved with outstanding performance. Some are even sold in head-turning calibers like 9mm, .45, or .50-caliber! On a smaller and more affordable scale, we can also improve our all-around shooting skills while having some low-cost fun. Since an understanding of the various power-plants is essential, this thorough and complete guide will provide the necessary information for its purchase and use.
