Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development of the Krag Jorgensen for the US Military takes a different approach in telling the history of the Krag rifle. The Krag was maligned as obsolete when it was adopted in 1892. A fresh review of period government documents coupled with a systems engineering assessment of the Krag rifle as a weapons system compared with contemporary rifles of the day demonstrate that the Krag was a reliable, robust and accurate weapon that carried the United States Army into the 20th Century. Military rifle experts and novices both will enjoy this fresh look at the first smokeless powder rifle adopted by the US Army.

Download or read book The M1903 Springfield Rifle written by Leroy Thompson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed to replace the Model 1892 Krag-Jørgensen rifle, the Model 1903 Springfield was a five-shot bolt-action rifle that introduced the .30-06 cartridge – the standard US round until the introduction of the 7.62mm NATO cartridge – and gave the US infantryman a durable, magazine-fed weapon so renowned for its accuracy that it remained in service as a sniping rifle for decades after it was superseded by the M1 Garand in 1937. Extensively used in World War I, the M1903 Springfield saw widespread combat in World War II and Korea. During World War I, US troops developed a formidable reputation for marksmanship aided by the accuracy of the M1903 Springfield. World War II saw the introduction of the M1903A3, which changed the rear sight so that it was closer to that of the M1 Garand, to allow easier training of troops who might be issued either rifle. Illustrated with specially commissioned color artwork and drawing upon veterans' recollections, this is the engaging story of the M1903 Springfield, an iconic rifle prized for its lethal accuracy that equipped US and other troops for much of the 20th century.

Download or read book The Trapdoor Springfield written by John Langellier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended to replace the proliferation of different small arms fielded by US forces during the American Civil War, the “Trapdoor Springfield” was designed in 1865–66 by Erskine S. Allin. Using metallic cartridges, it could be loaded in a single action, increasing the number of shots per minute as much as fivefold. The new weapon quickly proved its worth in two separate incidents in August 1867: small groups of US soldiers and civilians armed with the trapdoor repulsed numerically superior Native American contingents. A simple and cost-effective weapon, it was used, along with its variants in every US conflict in the three decades after the Civil War, especially on the American frontier. Drawing upon first-hand accounts from US soldiers, their Native American opponents, and users such as buffalo hunters, this is the story of the “Trapdoor Springfield”, one of the defining weapons of the Indian Wars.

Download or read book San Juan Hill 1898 written by Angus Konstam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labelled a 'splendid little war' by Senator John Hay, the Spanish American War was a peculiar event in America's history, provoked as much by the press as by political pressures. Here, aided by superbly detailed maps and artwork, the author deals with the clashes at Las Guasimas and El Caney, the capture of San Juan Hill, and the naval battle and siege of Santiago. The war was to mark the end of Spanish sovereignty in her 'New World', and the establishment of the United States of America as a world power.
