The FN MAG Machine Gun by Chris McNab Pdf

For six decades, the 7.62mm FN MAG has been a dominant general-purpose machine gun (GPMG) in worldwide arsenals. Three qualities have guaranteed this enduring status – reliability, ease of operation, and firepower. Several nations have license-produced the weapon as their standard GPMG, including the British (as the L7) and the Americans (M240), and in total more than 80 nations have adopted the FN MAG. The machine gun has also been modified extensively for vehicular, naval, and aircraft platforms, demonstrating versatility in the air, on sea, and on land. In this book, Chris McNab charts the technical evolution of this extraordinary weapon, created by Belgian company Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal. From the jungles of South East Asia, to the deserts of the Middle East, and the icy battlefields of the Falklands, this study explores the origins, development, combat use, and legacy of the FN MAG machine gun, a dominant weapon in its field for more than a half-century.

The Gun and Its Development; with Notes on Shooting by William Wellington Greener Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885* edition. Excerpt: ...Colt Revolver, and the cartridge cases are removed after firing, by working a rammer placed beneath the barrel. We illustrate one of the smaller models in Fig. 257. It is known as the "Bull-dog " and takes the-380 long cartridge; other sizes, as-410, 442. " 450 are made, but they are heavier and more cumbrous than the English patterns. All these revolvers are expensive, and as they are not self-extracting, English revolvers of the best make are preferred to them, and they art also much more handy SELF-EXTRACTING REVOLVERS. The idea of making revolvers self-extracting appears to have originated with M. Galand, a Belgian maker, but his ideas were rapidly improved upon. Amongst the earlier self-extracting revolvers was the "Thomas," which we illustrate in Fig. 258; by turning over the barrel and forcing it forward an inch and a half, the fired cases are ejected as shown. This is accomplished by having the barrel and chamber to slide along the chamber spindle and body of the pistol; the extractor being fast to the spindle retains the cartridge cases until the chamber is clear of them. A further improvement is the " Self-extracting Revolver." This principle of ejecting the cases originated, we believe, with Messrs. Smith and Wesson of the United States, but it has been improved upon considerably both in England and Belgium. We illustrate one of the improved revolvers in Fig. 259. The improvement mainly consists in the method of making fast the barrel and chambers to the pistol body and in the employment of a rebounding cock. Large quantities of these revolvers are made in Belgium in imitation of our " Bull-dog" and " Irish Constabulary " models. The English Army Revolver made upon...

The Gun Makers of Birmingham, 1660-1960 by Joseph McKenna Pdf

Tracing the history and development of gun-making in Birmingham, England--for many years a center of the world's firearms industry--this book covers innovations in design and manufacture of both military and sporting arms from 1660 through 1960. The city is perhaps best known for mass-producing some of the most battle-tested weapons in history, including the Brown Bess musket, the Webley revolver and the Lee-Enfield rifle. Yet Birmingham's gun-makers have carried on a centuries-long tradition of crafting high quality hand-made sporting guns.

Blood Gun Money by Ioan Grillo Pdf

“An eye-opening and riveting account of how guns make it into the black market and into the hands of criminals and drug lords.”--Adam Winkler From the author of El Narco and winner of the Maria Moors Cabot Prize, a searing investigation into the enormous black market for firearms, essential to cartels and gangs in the drug trade and contributing to the epidemic of mass shootings. The gun control debate is revived with every mass shooting. But far more people die from gun deaths on the street corners of inner city America and across the border as Mexico's powerful cartels battle to control the drug trade. Guns and drugs aren't often connected in our heated discussions of gun control-but they should be. In Ioan Grillo's groundbreaking new work of investigative journalism, he shows us this connection by following the market for guns in the Americas and how it has made the continent the most murderous on earth. Grillo travels to gun manufacturers, strolls the aisles of gun shows and gun shops, talks to federal agents who have infiltrated biker gangs, hangs out on Baltimore street corners, and visits the ATF gun tracing center in West Virginia. Along the way, he details the many ways that legal guns can cross over into the black market and into the hands of criminals, fueling violence here and south of the border. Simple legislative measures would help close these loopholes, but America's powerful gun lobby is uncompromising in its defense of the hallowed Second Amendment. Perhaps, however, if guns were seen not as symbols of freedom, but as key accessories in our epidemics of addiction, the conversation would shift. Blood Gun Money is that conversation shifter.

The Machine Gun: History, evolution and development of manually operated, full automatic, and power driven aircraft machine guns by George M. Chinn Pdf

"The series of books entitled "The machine gun" was begun with the belief that the next best thing to actual knowledge is knowing where to find it. The research summarized within the covers of these volumes has been compiled by the Bureau of Ordinance, Department of the Navy, in order to place in the hands of those rightfully interested in the art of automatic weapon design, the world's recorded progress in this field of endeavor."--Vol. II, p. v.
