5.0 out of 5 stars
Well Rounded Guide,
By CP Terp "007" (Germantown, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jane's Guns Recognition Guide 4e (Paperback)
Very imformative and up to date, with relevant facts and a summary for each weapon. On the negative side though, there are WAY to many grammatical errors, it was as if the author could'nt speak English. But since grammar is not important in this type of book it is negligible. In terms of selection of firearms virtually every mass-produced firearm after 1940 is included; the only I can recall thats not in the book is the Walther P99.

This review is from: Jane's Guns Recognition Guide 4e (Paperback)
Upon reading the multiple reviews pertaining to the other editions, I managed to obtain the previous editions, as well as this and the 5th edition. Once I finished comparing and contrasting, I was left feeling like I had paid too much for the newer (3rd, 4th, and 5th) editions. Each edition is an improvement over the previous one, but with the stated purpose of being primarily for law enforcement/military personnel I think Jane's would be better sticking with that mindset when selecting firearms for inclusion/deletion in upcoming editions and by compiling a separate book dealing with hunting-target firearms. All in all, pick up one (or more) older editions if you can find them at a yard/book sale and a more current one for general quick reference. I highly recommend not buying one hastily, as you will feel wanting once you start looking through it. Save up your money and buy a few better works like Pistols of the World and John Walter's Rifles of the World. They're a lot better books.

Good reference for the price listed (used). Good format. I would prefer another design of the content, but it is ok.
