Editorial Reviews
Blades and Barrels is the first full-scale study ever written about man’s attempts to combine an edged weapon with a firearm. Tracing the development of combination weapons from the hand cannon through the centerfire ignition systems, this book fills a long-recognized gap in firearms literature. The perfect companion to any gun cabinet or shelf.
