Synopsis

This book examines and explores the history and evolution of projectile weaponry, from early experimentation with crossbows and gunpowder, through to the development of sophisticated firearms as we know them today. The author charts the profound effect technological advancements have had on the trajectory and, therefore, on the effectiveness of a combatant's ability to discharge projectiles. However, the book does not stop there. It delves deeper into the complex interplay between the development of firearms, the science behind the physics of firing, and the resulting influence on hunting, military strategy, and tactics. This book is not only a comprehensive overview of the history of firearms, but it also provides a scientific perspective on the relationship between physics and weaponry, exploring how this relationship has influenced warfare throughout the ages.
