This is an interestingly and well written book which has a fun style while covering a some what generic subject as far as military writing goes.

I think that the author did well and really mixes the book up nicely and while including some elements of creativity married with the important dry facts one can expect from such a book. A nice addition to ones fire arm collection as well as military both historical and modern libraries.

Something I would like to have read before I wrote Snowblind. SNOWBLIND: The Michael Varen Saga It has highlighted a few technical errors I made!

Informative and descriptive, could have done with more illustrations in the more technical aspects of the text for the relative layman like me.

Spent an awful lot of time on the history of said weapons instead of the future. If you learn about non-SF reality-based weaponry, you'll have to go through a lot of backstory to get to them. Not really what I was after out of the book.
