"From the earliest days of organized warfare, combatants have been anxious to develop weapons with more firepower. This inevitably led a wide variety of repeating weapons, capable of a degree of sustained fire without reloading. Based largely upon new research, this book explores the history of repeating and multi-fire weapons"-- Provided by publisher.
