The Illustrated History of Weapons: Pistols
Discover the history and development of pistols through the ages.
These comprehensive visual reference books explore the craftsmanship and progression of weaponry and cover the many important conflicts and historical events that have shaped the world we live in.
These titles feature stunning photography, fascinating biographical information and detailed insight into the technology and tactics of the battlefield, and cover the evolution of early knives and swords through to the pistols and rifles of modern times.
The pistols featured span centuries, from a French hand cannon captured by Swiss troops at the battle of Morat in 1476, through to developments over the next half century such as rifling, wheel locks, matchlocks, flintlocks, percussion caps, and revolvers, all the way through to modern automatic weapons.
