Summary: Great Reference..
Comment: Now, i don't need this book or the other Jan'es recognition Guides for work, its merely an interest.

With that said, i picked up this book for reference and was not disapointed. I didn't really notice any glaring mistakes(I'm no firearms expert) but it had enough information to satisfy me. It doesnt go deep into any guns, just a brief discussion of the specs, which is all i really wanted.

The only downfall is ee is the absence of a section on shotguns.

Summary: Somewhat disappointing
Comment: Often careless in detail; the small automatic featured twice on the cover cannot be found anywhwere inside.

Several illustrations are completely wrong; Beretta Model 84 shows model 81;, Colt Mk IV Series 80 shows an ancient M1911; Czech CZ27 shows CZ24; MAS Mle 1935S shows Mle 1935A; Mle 1950 shows M1935S; Star MD picture is mirror-image, and there may be others; Star M40 Firestar picture shows an opposition firm's Llama M87; Walther P5 (1975) shows a P38 (1938 design).

Countries of origin; Beholla (made in Germany) labelled "Spain"; Bergmann-Bayard principally made in Belgium, as evidenced by markings listed; and MANY sloppy errors in naming, weights, calibres. I mean to say; the FEG FP9 (950 g) "weighs slightly less than the Belgian pistol", which is given as 882 g!

Summary: A useful tool for identifying firearms
Comment: This is a very good reference book and though it does not include shotguns, most firearms are featured including some of the more obscure and exotic types. I was particularly interested in its coverage of heavy sniper rifles which are becoming very important in peacekeeping operations around the world.
