Edited by Hans Tanner and supported by a team of specialists including an art director, managing editor, technical editor, and technical consultant, this authoritative volume chronicles an extraordinary breadth of weaponry — from early black-powder muskets and revolutionary-era pistols to modern military and sporting arms — presenting each with meticulous detail, technical specifications, and rich illustration.\n\nBeyond its role as a catalogue, the work argues a broader cultural and historical thesis: that firearms are not merely instruments of conflict but artefacts of engineering ingenuity, political transformation, and social identity. Tanner and his editorial team bring a rigorous, encyclopaedic discipline to the subject, making the volume as valuable to the serious arms scholar as to the passionate collector. Whether you seek to identify a rare antique or trace the evolution of modern combat weaponry, Guns of the World presents an unmatched archive that will leave readers questioning just how much history has truly been shaped at the barrel of a gun.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49276121252059,"sku":"2026200017154-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b7175806-5220-40ad-a4a9-54910d71d5a9.png?v=1789092642","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017154-secondhand-guns-of-the-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
