The Book of Gun Trivia

Essential Firepower Facts

Description

Offering a step by step guide through interesting gun facts and statistics, Gordon Rottman presents The Book of Gun Trivia.

Covering a range of subjects, such as weapons designations, where rifles get their names from, the longest serving rifles and everything in between, this book brings together everything you ever needed to know about guns and ammunition and much more besides.

Alongside the key facts and figures, Rottman also breaks apart popular myths and misconceptions about both weapons and ammunition, putting his years of military service to good use.
