This definitive work will take you inside the history of American revolver conversions from the standard percussion (cap and ball) ammunition to the newer and faster self-contained metallic cartridges. Witness through never-before-released documents, drawings and photographs a sequence of events that changed American firepower. Step inside the factories, museums and private collections and discover how a simple alteration in concept led to the design of the famous Colt Single Action Army revolver, and ultimately to a flood of revolver conversions from 1868 to 1880. The exceptionally detailed photos, drawings and technical specifications provide essential identification information. Distinguish between factory conversions. Distinguish between factory conversions and those made by private sources. Author Bruce McDowell brings years of exacting research to this complete reference work on conversion Colts, Smith & Wessons, Remingtons, and other major revolver manufacturers. The revealing historical and technical information provided in this essential volume fills in a previously neglected but very important section of firearms history.

Первые мины появились еще тогда, когда не было пороха. Из века в век их боевое значение возрастало. Во Второй мировой войне противотанковые и противопехотные мины, а также управляемые фугасы и объектные мины сыграли колоссальную роль! В локальных войнах и конфликтах второй половины XX - начала XXI века значение мин не только не уменьшилось, но многократно возросло. Эта книга является кратким очерком истории развития технического устройства и тактического применения мин, очень простого, однако чрезвычайно эффективного оружия. Рассчитана на самые широкие круги читателей.

Including artillery material, gunnery and organization and use of artillery in warfare. Part I. Ordnance, carriages, and ammunition. Part II. Principles and practice of gunnery. Part III. Organisation and use of artillery in warfare. Part I gives a general description of the construction and objects of the different guns, carriages, and kinds of ammunition now used, without which the subsequent parts would be but imperfectly understood. To simplify the subject, naval stores and small arms have been omitted, occasional reference being however made to the former in the foot-notes ; for the same reason, most of the large tables have been placed in the Appendix. In Part II. long mathematical investigations have been avoided, but references have been given to where they may be found ; and the methods of calculating practical gunnery questions have been fully explained. Part III. treats of a subject too little studied in this country, but which is of great importance, and commands apparently at the present time a growing interest.
