With technical and design data starting from the early 1900's to what is on the drawing boards for tomorrow, this encyclopedic volume covers every facet of the assault rifle - all within a lively and detailed historical perspective that brings the subject into three-dimensional focus - to create the best volume ever published on the topic. 70 chapters comprising more than 1,200 thoroughly indexed pages with nearly 2,000 illustrations.
This book concerns one of the two elements that comprise the most important weapon in our arsenal, the rifleman. While the book deals with a revolutionary advance in the rifle itself, we must never lose sight of the user. He is the successor to the musketeers, bowmen, spearmen, swordsmen, and slingmen of times past. Without him, a Nation cannot survive.
The universal application of the automatic principle to the individual weapon has made it necessary and convenient to give that weapon a new name, thus indicating its enlarged capabilities — the assault rifle. Widespread use of assault rifles, particularly during the past five decades, has shown this individual weapon used by all adversaries involved in past and present conflicts; whether guerrilla wars, civil wars, “wars of liberation” and certainly by major combatants in larger wars. The increase in firepower for the individual has literally provided small groups of determined men armed with selective-fire assault rifles the force that here-to-fore was reserved for battalions and regiments.
