Synopsis Guns and Shooting: A Selected Chronological Bibliography (1951) by Ray Riling is a definitive, highly specialized hardcover reference guide that maps out centuries of literature dedicated to arms, ammunition, and weaponry. Compiled from Riling's personal collection and other verified academic archives, this 434-page classic functions as an exhaustive roadmap for historians, collectors, and technicians studying weapon development. Instead of an overarching narrative or standard prose format, the text operates as a master catalog, detailing nearly 3,000 distinct publications printed throughout global history up to 1951. Core Focus Areas & Coverage The bibliography arranges historical works chronologically, organizing multi-language publications across several critical disciplines: Artillery & Explosives: Early manuscripts and modern entries detailing the chemistry, manufacturing, and design behind fireworks, rockets, bombs, and artillery pieces. Firearms & Ammunition Evolution: Cataloged books exploring everything from medieval gunsmithing and handloading practices to modern ballistic science. Military & Sporting Utility: Direct documentation of how firearms have been used historically for tactical warfare, target shooting, and tracking wild game. Medical Impact: A dedicated indexing of early surgical and medical papers specifically evaluating gunshot wounds and their treatments over time. Key Reference Tools Included The Pseudonym Directory: A highly valued section tracking the hidden identities and pen names frequently utilized by vintage outdoor, hunting, and military writers. Cross-Referenced Author Lists: An exhaustive, alphabetical directory mapping creators across multiple languages to streamline specialized document authentication. Because of its unparalleled historical depth, the book remains a premier tool for antique arms dealers, authors, and serious collectors looking to research or authenticate secondary arms materials.…
