Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. 402 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Large volume. Of the plethora of submachine guns developed in Germany before 1945, most if not all of which are covered herein, the most popular by far have been the M.P. 38 and MP d40 series, collectively known to all and sundry as "Schmeissers." The book begins with a brief history of the technological and strategical developments which led to the first "machine guns", and the adoption during WWI of Infiltration tactics as a means of surmounting the stagnation of trench warfare. The elite storm troopers who spearheaded these audacious forays into No Man's Land were soon clamoring for portable rapid-fire weaponry capable of effective and decisive close-range striking power and a new class of military small arm which had not previously existed was the result, beginning with the Italian Villar-Perosa. Several early German developments culminated in the adoption of the Bergmann M.P. 18,I in 1918. The new term "submachine gun", coined in America, soon came to denote any light, portable pistol-caliber automatic weapon of the type called a Maschinnenpistole in Germany. The vindictive Treaty of Versailles, which has been called the first step toward WWII, imposed severe restrictions on the Interwar German military. In spite of this, numerous new submachine guns were designed and produced in Germany and as the book shows, many of these were used alongside M.P.38s and MP40s right through WWII. The M.P.38 was adopted in 1938 and was superseded by a somewhat simpler version called the MP40 in 1940. The MP40 was manufactured in five variations by three firms - ERMA, Haenel, and Steyr - until 1944, when it was phased out in favor of the Italian Beretta SMG and the MP44. Much valuable material is also included from advanced European collections on original accessories and ancillaries, and the book concludes with an exhaustive Index. Language: eng Language: eng.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. 387 pages. Over 350 illustrations. Hardcover with a dust jacket. This is the most complete account of the history of the invention, development, manufacture, and use of the ArmaLite AR-10 Rifle ever published. The road to the U.S.-built AR-10 is followed faithfully and meticulously, with descriptions and numerous illustrations of all the 'AR'-numbered designs--such as the "para-sniper", a lightweight, .308 caliber bolt action spoiler fitted with a composite aluminum/stainless steel barrel and foam-filled fiberglass stock (the AR-1); a prospective survival rifle for the U.S. Air Force (the AR-5), and its civilian offshoot, the popular AR-7--through the series of one-off experimental prototypes that led to the 7.62mm NATO caliber ArmaLite AR-10B, a remarkable rifle in many ways. Further improvements and a new lease on life for the AR-10 in series production at the state-owned arsenal Artillerie-Inrichtingen in the The Netherlands followed, with the potential world market carved into sales territories for the several arms merchants eager and willing to promote it. The book describes and illustrates all the different "country" and other military models of the AR-10 "family", which included scoped AR-10 sniper rifles and magazine--and belt-fed light machine guns, as well as the experimental carbine and sporting (semi-auto-only) versions produced in Holland before program termination. Uniquely, this book continues with extensive, illustrated coverage of the successful use of the perfected NATO model of the AR-10 in combat, largely with Portuguese forces, under some of the harshest and most grueling conditions on the planet. In every instance the AR-10 acquitted itself with high honors, earning praise and devotion from its users. The modern-day rebirth of the 7.62mm AR-10 in several guises; the fate of surplus returns; and a look at the latter-day designs of ArmaLite Inc., are followed by a Bibliography and an extensive Index. Outstanding.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. 367 pages. Huge volume. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Over 475 illustrations. Very detailed. The rifle-caliber Browning was the most popular and most-used machine gun ever designed. The book discusses and illustrates in considerable detail the many variations on the basic recoil-operated Browning which were manufactured and/or used in over twenty countries, in both World Wars, in Korea and in Vietnam. Of particular interest is the focus on the aircraft Browning beginning in the Interwar years, in Britain and particularly in Belgium, where to keep pace with airspeeds of the best new fighters and pursuit aircraft Dieudonne Saive, John Browning's erstwhile chief assistant, twice increased the firing rate of the FN aircraft Browning, first in 1932 to 1,200 rpm and again in 1938 to 1,500 rpm.
