Weapons of the British Soldier

Sinopse

This is the story of the weapons used by the British soldier throughout the ages, and the many developments in personal arms during the course of history, and the reasons which influenced their design. It starts at the Battle of Hastings in which the seeds of the British Army were sown, and it ends with the short magazine Lee-Enfield rifle which served the British Army through half a century and two world wars.
From military arms have descended their counterparts in the chase, in sporting combat and on the range. These too form an interesting study, both in the multiplicity of their design and types, far exceeding the recognised weapons of war.
