Description

Used, “The History and Development of Small Arms Ammunition, Volume 1” by George A.Hoyem, Hardcover

This first volume traces the development of ammunition for the military musket, rifle, and primitive machinegun, worldwide, from the 17th century when round lead ball and black powder were first wrapped together in a paper cylinder, through the first self-contained, metallic cartridge found practical for military use the rimfire.

Accordingly, this book is organized by ammunition and firearm types rather than on a strictly chronological basis.
