Book excerpt: The author, a New York Times reporter, traces the invention and mass distribution of the AK-47 assault rifle, and its effects on war. He traces the invention of the assault rifle, following the miniaturization of rapid-fire arms from the American Civil War, through World War I and Vietnam, to present-day Afghanistan, where Kalashnikovs and their knockoffs number as many as 100 million, one for every seventy persons on earth. It is the weapon of state repression, as well as revolution, civil war, genocide, drug wars, and religious wars; and it is the arms of terrorists, guerrillas, boy soldiers, and thugs. From its inception to its use by more than fifty national armies around the world, to its role in modern-day Afghanistan, he discusses how the deadly weapon has helped alter world history.

Prior to taking delivery of a firearm from a licensed firearms dealer, the purchaser/recipient must also successfully perform a safe handling demonstration with that firearm..

Download or read book The Best Caliber Wars written by James M Volo and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guns can be very effective tools, but they are each of limited utility. There is no one weapon that is perfect for every purpose. Private persons may own a number of guns that fulfill a variety of functions. Ballistics is important for soldiers, law enforcement, sportsmen, and anyone who seeks to protect their life, their home, their family, or their workplace. If you are among these, this book is for you.Not surprisingly, gun owners and firearms enthusiasts are often part of a "social gun culture" in which certain facts, trends, and fads circulate and evolve with time, some stirring intense loyalty among shooters even when the realities suggest otherwise. For the average gun user some very popular myths, misconceptions, and miscalculations concerning ballistics and the terminal effects of bullets are strongly held, and it is not the purpose of this discussion to demonstrate why they are or are not true, only to lay out the parameters of the debate so that the readers can make their own judgments with increased confidence. The origin of ballistics is in the study of the flight path of projectiles, but its domain has been expanded in modern times. Among the modern ballistic sciences are areas of interest concerning how ammunition and weapons operate.

Download or read book Gun Notes written by Elmer Keith and published by Safari Press. This book was released on 2002-11-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1961 till the early 1980s Elmer Keith was a regular contributor to Guns & Ammo magazine, with a monthly column entitled "Gun Notes." Here are the most interesting writings from his long writing career at Guns & Ammo magazine. This book is entirely devoted to pistols, revolvers, bolt-action and double rifles, shotguns, ammunition, loads, bullets, and accessories. Keith was one of the country's most knowledgeable experts on big-bore calibers, and this book has a wealth of information based on his lifelong experience with just about every imaginable sporting arm. In addition, the book contains letters from Elmer Keith to Truman Fowler, who was the publisher of Keith's Safari book; it also contains the correspondence from Fowler (a well-known big-bore advocate) to Jack O'Connor, who took exception to much of what Keith and Fowler recommended. This is more than highly entertaining reading -- the pages of the correspondence literally sizzle under your fingertips! Gun Notes is illustrated with photos from the Guns & Ammo files. Keith wrote ten books, in all, on hunting and firearms and was an absolute believer in big-bore rifles with heavy bullets. Over this issue, he and Jack O'Connor, another well-known sports writer and contemporary of Keith's, had a bitter running feud for years. Keith was also instrumental in the development of the .44 Magnum, .41 Magnum, and .338 Magnum cartridges as well as numerous other firearm and ballistic innovations. He was one of America's best shots with rifle, handgun, and shotgun. Keith was, perhaps, best known for his articles that appeared in numerous magazines from before World War II until the early 1980s. Book jacket.
