But the book offers far more than this. There are special spreads on all the world's leading gun manufacturers including Colt, Smith & Wesson and Beretta which offer a great insight into the production methods behind the world's most famous firearms. In recognition of the role of the gun in personal history and popular culture there are a series of 'gunmen' spreads on the likes of Billy the Kid, Bonnie and Clyde and Dirty Harry which recount the story of the chosen gunman and include an analysis of their signature weapon., From rifles to sniper guns, machine guns to grenade launchers, "Gun: A Visual History" is a fully loaded guide to over 300 of the most important guns from the last 700 years. Perfect for anyone interested in firearms, "Gun: A Visual History" has revealing features on twenty 'key' guns from history, including the Musket, Gatling Gun and AK-47 assault rifle.
