Synopsis
A concise history of the attempts to develop and improve the British Army's most important individual weapon, and the ammunition designed for it., ABOUT THE BOOK This book outlines the development of the rifle and chronicles its use in the British Army over the past two hundred years. It takes the story of the British rifle from its earliest days in the American Revolutionary War, through its 'coming of age' in the Napoleonic War and, via the technological changes of the Victorian era, through to the present 'individual weapon', the SA80, used by British forces on service around the world. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Peter Duckers is Curator of the Shropshire Regimental Museum and has written many military books for Shire. Other titles by this author: British Campaign Medals 1815 - 1914 British Campaign Medals 1914 - 2005 British Gallantry Awards 1855 - 2000 The British Indian Army 1860 - 1914 British Orders and Decorations The Victoria Cross, A spinning bullet leaving a 'rifled' barrel is much more accurate than a musket ball but the technology of grooving a barrel and shaping the projectile to make an efficient and reliable weapon has exercised military minds for centuries. Here is a concise history of the attempts to develop and improve the British Army's most important individual weapon - from the Ferguson of the American Revolution, to the Baker of the Napoleonic Wars, the Brunswick, the Snider, the Maritini-Henry and the famous Lee-Enfields - and the ammunition designed for it.
