Editorial Reviews

The era of early guns lasted for nearly 800 years, from the discovery of gunpowder around the year 1000 to the widespread use of the flintlock musket as late as the 19th century. At their peak, early guns became the dominant battlefield weapon, totally supplanting the swords and lances of armored knights. Galileo and other scientists brought mathematics to the battlefield, ushering in the field of ballistics, while the availability of guns made it possible for many colonists to rise up against their rulers.

This review is from: Tales Of The Gun - The Early Guns [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an excellent film, it is one of the chapters (or episode) of one of the best TV Series ever.

It is a must see, and perfect for anyone with an interest in firearms and/or history. It is fun for both novice enthusiast as well as the Guru's.

I own this film and several others, I just wish I had more; I would love to own a copy of each episode if I could.
They are great quality and you will learn a lot about history and firearms that you never knew, Knowledge is power, don't get another Hollywood special effects film treat your brain to something fun, real, and educational this time!
