This review is from: Tactical Small Arms Of The 21st Century: A Complete Guide to Small Arms From Around the World (Paperback)

This book contains some very useful and interesting information about current tactival small arms. However, it does have some significant flaws. This book is black and white but the photos are not good. Many photos (about 40%) in this book are unclear. I had saw these photos in internet. I think that these photos are just direct copies from internet. These photos are just printed by poor computer printer and no professional treatment.
Many books about small arm are in my collection, but this one is out. I wish it will be better in next edition.

This review is from: Tactical Small Arms Of The 21st Century: A Complete Guide to Small Arms From Around the World (Paperback)

I was looking for an update for Hogg's classic "Military Small Arms of the 20th Century", however, this book. The pictures are often poor in quality or detail. For example, the photo for the Walther PP/PPK series is in fact a pellet gun (toy).
Many details are simply wrong. The problem is if some things that I have knowledge about are wrong, how can I trust any of the other data?

Questo libro è utile per riconoscere un' arma quando viene vista in un documentario o in un film, le descrizioni sono un po' sintetiche e le foto di non grande qualità. Comunque considerato il prezzo di Amazon, per noi italiani si può acquistare...
