The Gatling Gun

story continues below...

Apart from the excellent, highly detailed text, it is the technical illustrations showing the mechanism of the weapon which really stand out. The author covers every aspect and variation of the weapon and discusses them in turn. From the different types of ammunition to the method of feeding, all are featured to make a work of interest to the firearm enthusiast. The campaigns in which it was used from Afghanistan to the Zulu wars are mentioned along with some surprises. For example, the Russians used Gatling Guns and it has been used all over the world. If you are a collector or just interested in 19th century firearms, this is a great work.
