history.\u003cbr\u003e Cannons using black powder neutralized fortified castles and transformed the nature of naval warfare. \u003cbr\u003eLighter weapons, or small arms, brought about a revolution in combat as well as in individual duels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From the 16th century onwards, small arms rapidly dominated European battlefields, becoming more than just auxiliary weapons for units equipped for close combat, but also the primary military weapon.\u003cbr\u003e However, early small arms were not very reliable, as they took too long to reload.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The matchlock musket remained a standard infantry weapon for decades, with designs competing among several nations.\u003cbr\u003e Muskets had a good hit rate at man-sized targets at ranges of 80-100 meters, but were virtually non-existent at 200 meters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An intermediate step between hand-fired black powder weapons and integral cartridge small arms was the introduction of the percussion cap, or primer-type ignition device. \u003cbr\u003eThe detonator contains a small amount of highly unstable explosive that detonates upon strong impact.\u003cbr\u003e The projectile of a primer-type firearm is the same black powder as before, and when this gunpowder is fed into the barrel, the bullet and charge are placed on top as before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Being able to load more than one round before reloading is a huge asset, whether in a self-defense duel or on the battlefield.\u003cbr\u003e This is because firing does not always hit the target, and some shots may not cause any damage to the enemy.\u003cbr\u003e The answer to this problem was to develop weapons that carried one or more projectiles ready to fire, which resulted in the popularization of revolver-type firearms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One of the most famous firearms of all time, the Army Colt Single Action was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1873.\u003cbr\u003e This gun was replaced by a double-action gun in 1892. \u003cbr\u003eThe Colt single action for the Army came in three barrels: the 191mm and 140mm were called the 'Gunpiper' (sharpshooter) models, and the 114mm was called the 'Civilian' (civilian).\u003cbr\u003e The nickname \"Peacemaker\" is believed to be due to the gun's popularity with law enforcement officers.\u003cbr\u003e A variant with an extremely long barrel, known as the 'Bunline Special', also appeared.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e World War I marked the arrival of the era of modern small arms.\u003cbr\u003e It was the first large-scale war in which rapid-fire automatic weapons became the mainstay of infantry firepower.\u003cbr\u003e Most infantrymen were armed with bolt-action rifles fed from internal magazines, allowing them to fire quickly and with aim.\u003cbr\u003e During this period, defenders strongly favored tactical balance.\u003cbr\u003e The rifle's firepower was lethal at long range, and the machine gun turned the traditional dense advance into a suicidal march.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.75\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOne problem faced by the participating nations in World War II was how to provide automatic firing systems for their advance units.\u003cbr\u003e At that time, machine guns were too large to advance across military buffer zones, and it was difficult for the advance units to block enemy counterattacks without machine guns.\u003cbr\u003e The answer to this problem was to provide a lighter automatic support weapon that did not require heavy tripods and water cooling, and could be carried in a convenient magazine or drum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As John Moses Browning faced death, he devoted himself to one firearm design that would later become one of the most successful of all time.\u003cbr\u003e The new firearm, once production was completed, went on sale under the model name 'Browning Hi-Power'.\u003cbr\u003e It is also called HP-35 and GP-35 (Grande Puissance, French for 'high power'). \u003cbr\u003eThe term 'High Power' refers not to the special capabilities of the 9mm bullet, but rather to the magazine's impressive 13-round capacity, which was exceptional for its time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e World War II was the first 'modern' war.\u003cbr\u003e Armored vehicles and air power, which had been experimental models in previous wars, have evolved into powerful and far-reaching weapon systems and agile strike forces covering vast areas.\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, the average combat range continued to narrow as close-range urban melee combat became more frequent than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e In these battles, the primary weapons evolved into submachine guns, flamethrowers, and, by the postwar period, assault rifles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e M1 Garand: Although somewhat outdated by modern standards, it was a weapon that brought about a major leap forward in infantry firepower at the time.\u003cbr\u003e The powerful 7.62mm round is fired accurately and rapidly from an 8-round internal magazine and reloads quickly. \u003cbr\u003eThe first M1 models had a tendency to jam due to their gas-operated operation.\u003cbr\u003e However, since 1939, reliability has been greatly improved with the introduction of an alternative system that vents gases through a tube under the muzzle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Between 1960 and 1990, the world was greatly shadowed by the Cold War between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Warsaw Pact.\u003cbr\u003e Great powers have always been heavily involved in the procurement of military supplies, providing weapons and military advisers to weaker countries with political stipulations.\u003cbr\u003e Many countries purchased their military equipment from either the West or the Warsaw Pact.\u003cbr\u003e It was rare for a country to have a mixed weapons system from two extreme power groups.\u003cbr\u003e The result is significant polarization regarding weapon types and compatibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.241\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe AK-47 was modified several times during its first few years of service, and many variant models appeared along with it.\u003cbr\u003e In 1959, the Soviet Army officially adopted a new model, designated AKM (the M stands for 'Modernizirovanniy' or 'Modernized'), which was also heavily modified.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The term 'sporting gun (including shotgun)' can apply to a variety of small arms used for target shooting for recreation, sport, or hunting purposes.\u003cbr\u003e The typical hunter only makes one or two precision shots and doesn't need a large-caliber semi-automatic weapon.\u003cbr\u003e Sporting guns, unlike military weapons, are rarely abused, but are often handled roughly.\u003cbr\u003e It needs to be able to maintain accuracy while on the move or stationary on a slope when hunting, so its sturdiness is very important.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.405\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBrno 800 Series: Double-barreled weapons with a smoothbore (shotgun) barrel and a rifled barrel are not as common as real rifles or shotguns, but they are very useful for the rugged hunter who never knows what his next target will be.\u003cbr\u003e Carrying both a loaded rifle and a shotgun effectively at all times provides the hunter with great flexibility.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

World War I marked the arrival of the era of modern small arms.\u003cbr\u003e It was the first large-scale war in which rapid-fire automatic weapons became the mainstay of infantry firepower.

ground, heavily riddled with shell holes and barbed wire, slowed the attackers down, allowing the defenders additional time to bring down effective firepower.\u003cbr\u003e During World War I, numerous weapons were tested and weapons technology advanced rapidly.\u003cbr\u003e There was also a revolutionary change in military thinking, and the need for infantry weapons other than rifles arose.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePistols, shotguns, and submachine guns proved their worth in trench-clearing battles, and advances in these areas were in turn reflected in the civilian and law enforcement markets.\u003cbr\u003e As these events unfolded during periods of great economic and social upheaval, these weapons found their way onto the streets in the hands of gangs, government agents, and revolutionaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrom the invention of gunpowder to modern special warfare\u003cbr\u003e Panoramic view of firearm anatomy throughout

\u003cbr\u003eAlthough assault rifles became widely available only after the war, infantry firepower took another leap forward with the widespread adoption of semi-automatic rifles.\u003cbr\u003e Often firing the same rounds as older bolt-action rifles, soldiers with semi-automatic rifles could reload and fire faster with consistent accuracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even after World War II ended, peace did not come.\u003cbr\u003e Soon after, the participating nations became involved in the Korean War and the Malayan Emergency.\u003cbr\u003e The Chinese Civil War, the wars of independence in Southeast Asia, and the rebellions in Africa that followed placed the major powers in a state of semi-war.\u003cbr\u003e This was also a time when the Cold War began, the NATO-Warsaw Pact alliances were formed, and the possibility that World War II might continue as an East-West conflict in Europe became a reality.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBetween 1960 and 1990, the world was

a much more important role in design than ever before, with even fairly basic weapons designed for ease of use taking comfort and safety into account. \u003cbr\u003eModern firearms designers have many niches to consider, and they must either cater to one of them or create a truly exceptional weapon.\u003cbr\u003e As the military environment continues to shift towards smaller and lighter weapons, most combat still takes place at close range.
