This is a detailed account of the gradual shift that has taken place since the 20th century in the type of rifles used by armies around the world. The lighter, shorter and automatic models that first appeared in the mid-1930s proved superior in close combat and mass attacks, where advances in rifles and ammunition came into their own. 77 countries, 24 chapters and around 1,200 images fill 1,239 pages with weapons and their history as never seen before, as well as a look to the future, not only in terms of weapons, but also how they might influence the way wars are fought.
