Despite having literally hundreds of weapons to choose from in the more than 150 years covered in this book, the author, presents the reader with just 200 weapons in this volume. Whilst some are more unusual than others, such as the Gardner machine gun, he presents, in the main, a conventional round-up of weapons which will be familiar to most, if not all, readers. This is a nice introductory volume to the history of firearms over the past 150 years, but it holds no surprises for anyone with knowledge of these weapons.
