This book initiates with the story of the evolution of firearms to enable the reader to appreciate the sequence of the development of firearms. It discusses different classes of small arms, their mechanics, internal and external ballistics. Further, it covers the design idea of barrels and actions, various operating principles and relevant discussion on ammunition and propellants. The principle of quality in the design of the small arms is also elaborated in the desired degree. The book brings out the relevance of modern manufacturing technologies like MIM and various surface treatments, and polymers for enhancement of product quality. To appreciate the sophistication of the architecture, the book presents the anatomical details of a few small arms of reputes. Provides complete understanding of overall small weapon systems Explores mechanics and physics of small arms Discusses proper design, quality control, and manufacturing process selections for a good weapon Covers common type of weapon failures and catastrophic failure Includes relevance of manufacturing processes The book is aimed at professionals and graduate students in Mechanical Design, Armament Design, Gun Design including personnel in the military, paramilitary, police, and all other armed forces and their maintenance crews.

Logan was a commercial artist and writer with a strong firearms interest. This book contains excellent drawings, labels, and identification for cartridge types illustrating development from paper cartridge to the modern types. Patient delving into this volume will show an alert reader how paper cartridges became metal cartridges. Most general readers have no conception, for example, how many competing systems were in place during the Civil War. By 1873 all had become obsolete but the two still in use toda--rimfire and center fire. Logan divides cartridge types into groups: paper, combustible, separate primed, self-contained, rimfire, and center fire. Each of these divisions break down into variations. All systematic discussions must use or grapple with these divisions. The most common Civil War cartridge was a paper wrapper which held black powder and a bullet. The cartridge had to be torn or bitten open, the powder poured down the barrel, followed by the bullet and rammed until compact. A percussion cap was added to the weapon to ignite the powder. A quantum leap forward was a metal cartridge with a hole in the base. It was loaded into the weapon and the percussion cap was added outside. Finally a complete cartridge was developed which could be placed inside the weapon and fired when the chamber was closed. The author shows what the competing systems were and how they worked. His book is a good introduction. Any serious collector or student of cartridge history will need more references, but Logan's Cartridges can be the beginning place for the study. There are a few errors and, obviously, omissions but the work is excellent for its vintage. Few fifty year old books on technology can claim that.--By Antonius Tio.--For Amazon.com.

"Know Your Ammo" is designed to show the "best of the best" ballistics and loading data. The manual is also designed to compare the performance and design characteristics of over 200 popular rounds of ammunition based on maximum muzzle velocity. The manual gives an introduction to the following : 1.) The background, notes, assumptions and formulas used when calculating the ballistic characteristics of ammunition. 2.) Individual tables of ammunition characteristics for over 200 calibers or rounds of ammunition. 3.) A Chart of Gun Powder burn rates. 4.) An Overview of Explosives. 5.) Several Emergency and Survival Preparedness GuidesThe Following Characteristics are explained and listed in the manual for ease of comparison between rounds (for example - comparing the Optimum Take-down Weight of a .223 vs. 7.62 x 39 mm):Bullet Weight ( Grains) :Cartridge Charge (Grains) :Muzzle Speed (feet per second) :Actual Chamber Pressure in (CUP's) :Maximum Allowable SAAMI Pressure (CUP's) :Accurate PowderTM Type :Bullet Type (i.e. FMJ, JHP, SWG, etc.) : Maximum Cartridge Length (inches) :Brass Length (inches) :Bullet Length (inches) :Bullet Width (inches) :Muzzle Energy (foot-pounds) :Recoil Impulse I (pound-seconds) :Free Recoil Speed VG (feet per second) :"Kick" - Free Recoil Energy EG (foot-pounds) :Minimum Length of Twist Required for Optimum Stability (inches) :Density of Loading :The Rotational Speed in RPM (Revolutions per second) :Prof. Hunter John Taylor's Knockout Blow :Sectional Density :Editor John Wooter's L-factor :Ballistic Expert Ed Matuna's Optimum Takedown Game Weight (pounds) :Momentum (pounds - feet per second) :Maximum Potential Energy of Ignited Powder (foot-pounds) :Efficiency of Maximum Energy Produced (%) :Average Speed of Bullet in the Barrel (feet per second) :Average Pressure on the Bullet in the Barrel (CUP's) :Average Energy of the Bullet in the Barrel (foot-pounds) :Approximate Ballistic Coefficient :Absolute Effective Range at Sea Level (feet) :Absolute Effective Range with 10 mph Tail Wind (feet) :Representative Weight of Weapon (pounds) :Ratio of Muzzle Energy to Weight of Weapon (%) :Bullet Drop at various ranges :

This handbook provides critical analyses of the theory and practices of small arms proliferation and its impact on conflicts and organized violence in Africa. It examines the terrains, institutions, factors and actors that drive armed conflict and arms proliferation, and further explores the nature, scope, and dynamics of conflicts across the continent, as well as the extent to which these conflicts are exacerbated by the proliferation of small arms. The volume features rich analyses by contributors who are acquainted with, and widely experienced in, the formal and informal structures of arms proliferation and control, and their repercussions on violence, instability and insecurity across Africa. The chapters dissect the challenges of small arms and light weapons in Africa with a view to understanding roots causes and drivers, and generating a fresh body of analyses that adds value to the existing conversation on conflict management and peacebuilding in Africa. With contributions from scholars, development practitioners, defence and security professionals and civil society activists, the handbook seeks to serve as a reference for students, researchers, and policy makers on small arms proliferation, control and regulation; defence and security practitioners; and those involved in countering violence and managing conflicts in Africa.
