Small Arms

Over the vacation, I also read the book Small Arms by Martin J. Dougherty. This book is more of an explanation of different types of guns and how they work. It involves all types, from pistols to rifles to sub-machine guns to shotguns, and includes civilian weapons as well as police and military weapons. It included hundreds of different kinds of guns, and then followed with a few paragraphs and a picture explaining the details of each gun, or small arm. I have always had an interest in guns (don't worry, I don't have one and don't plan to use one in any violent way). I have never been hunting and never will go hunting, but I could spend hours admiring the guns that they use. This book has them all, from the common ones like the Glock 17 and the AK-47 to the uncommon ones like the Detonics Pocket 9 or the CETME Model 58. There are plenty of guns in here that I had never heard of, and it was cool to see some new ones.
