Shooter's Bible Guide to Extreme Iron: An Illustrated Reference to Some of the World?s Most Powerful Weapons, from Hand Cannons to Field Artillery

The Shooterâ€™s Bible is the most trusted guide to firearms in the industry. Now, for the first time, extreme weapons are given a chance to show what they can do. Shooterâ€™s Bible Guide to Extreme Iron is a comprehensive collection of all of the most extreme guns and cannons both in history and in the present. With poetic and flowing prose, author Stan Skinner provides information for awe-inspiring weapons, such as:

Hand cannons, also known as â€œhowdah pistols,â€ which were used on the Indian subcontinent by tiger hunters on elephantsâ€™ backs and today roar and thunder with power rarely seen in a handgun
Ultra big bore snipers, the roots of which reach back to the Revolutionary War and the Kentucky rifle
Gatling guns, a hand-cranked, rapid-fire gun invented by Dr. Richard J. Gatling in 1861, a modern version of which is powered by an electric motor and has a four thousandâ€“round-per-minute cyclic rate
Muzzle-loading, smoothbore cannons, cast in bronze and iron, which dominated land and sea warfare until they were made obsolete by rifle Parrott guns and breech-loading cannons in the Civil War
And much more!

Get fired up with the powerful weapons included in this addition to the Shooterâ€™s Bible. Including historical facts and modern versions, this book is essential to any shooterâ€™s collection.
