This is the very first international publication to cover such a wide range: all of the world's firearms - hunting, shooting, personal defence models - brought together in a single, unique source.

A vast, ambitious and fascinating work that can offer a complete, up-to-date analysis of the world firearms scene: recent models, historical replicas, legendary arms makers, manufacturers, custom gunsmiths.

Over 4,400 technical data cards about pistols, revolvers, shotguns and rifles, black powder, muzzleloaders and air guns, accompanied by colour photographs that can also be enlarged.
