This amazing manual covers in detail virtually all the hand-fired weapons used during the war from 1800s vintage pistols through the latest recoilless rifles and bazookas. Comprehensive photographs, diagrams and directions are given about the statistics, ammunition, operation and stripping of every weapon. Any soldier could, after studying this manual, pick up any discarded gun in the field, strip it, clean it and fire it safely. So could any modern collector or enthusiast handle a variety of weapons and discern the subtle differences of model and make.
