About this Item

This work traces the development of ammunition from the beginning of the paper musket cartridge to the date of publication. It covers both early and modern pistol or revolver cartridges and all the foreign as well as American sporting cartridges, and includes a discussion of the larger type of fixed ammunition--the .50 caliber, 20 mm., 37 mm. and 40 mm. shells and cartridges now being used in aircraft, anti-aircraft and anti-tank cannon. The book contains illustrations, charts, tables, and an index; with fold-out charts. Some shelfwear and chipping to the jacket, now in mylar; otherwise, this copy is clean and solid.
