As a military-tactical and outdoor store, we couldn't help but create a separate category for fans of weapons literature. In our offer you will find a range of books about weapons that will complement your knowledge in this field.
First of all, it should be noted that in this category you will find books about firearms and their derivatives. Books on small arms are in a separate category. Weapons themselves have an interesting history worth learning about, as their use, popularization and technological innovations in production are extensive material with which every gun fan should become familiar.
A breakthrough in the manufacture of firearms was the use of black powder, which was discovered as early as the 9th century in China. Already in those days there were the first references to its wartime use, but in the Middle Kingdom it was used to produce the well-known fireworks. The recipe of black powder was a carefully created secret and could not leave the borders of the country - in Europe, Bacon Roger is considered its inventor, and the first references to black powder date back to the 13th century. Since then, the development of firearms began to accelerate, and armed conflicts over the centuries have caused increasingly rapid development until today. Manufacturing technology is constantly advancing and new books on the subject are constantly being written.
One of the earliest types of firearms was the hackney, which was a type of heavy gun. It was used from the 14th to 16th centuries. Its distinctive feature was a hook mounted under the barrel, used to lean against a wall or into a wall to reduce recoil. It was fired with stone, iron and later lead bullets - a simple design that served as the basis for the development of the first, more advanced firearms. This is actually only the beginning of the issue, which is discussed more extensively in the books on weapons offered by our store.
These books fall into several categories - the first are literary studies of the history of weapons, where the hook gun is actually the beginning of the issue of this fascinating field. The others treat modern firearms, which are considered weapons more or less since the First World War. In them you will find an extensive discussion of the curiosities of specific specimens, the history of their creation and construction details that will supplement your knowledge with specific and verified information.
The books on weapons that we distribute are usually written by specialists in a particular field - history, gunsmithing, sportsmen (when it comes to sport shooting) and even operators of special units. The latter are especially interesting with regard to specialized literature, as they present soldiers' reactions to popular weapon models and why specific models work better in one unit and no longer in another.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the offer prepared by us of various books treating firearms. Our offer is constantly changing and expanding with new titles to satisfy the largest possible group of firearms fans. You will learn from them all the facts that interest you at the moment. Their professional study will enrich your knowledge with further information on the subject. Happy shopping!
