I was interested in purchasing a book that covers the history of firearms from the 1400's to the 20th-21st centuries? Does anyone know if any books like this exist? I'm looking for detailed information in the different actions, ignition systems, etc of sporting and or military arms throughout the world. If there aren't books that have the history throughout the world, just the U.S. guns would be good. Some books that I saw that seemed interesting are the Textbook of Small Arms, The Gun and It's Development, The Encyclopedia of American Gun Design and Performance, Guns and How They Work, the Boston Bible, and Hatcher's Notebook. If anyone tell me which of these books are worth it or could recommend me any books, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
