Description

Osprey’s fresh Tool sequence supplies a very-detailed yet inexpensive summary of the growth, effect, and use of small-arms throughout history—from the blade towards the machine-gun.  Journey back once again to the full time when handguns experienced no moving parts! Variously named hackbuts, handgonnes, coulevrines, pistolas, schiopettos, tyufyaks, and actually bombardelles, the very first dark dust infantry guns were excessively raw by today’s requirements. In his new ebook, Sean McLachlan, writer of American Civil War Guerilla Techniques, dispels the misconception these guns were inadequate to the battlefield (beyond their frightening sound!).
