2 comments about Winchester Shotguns and Shotshells: From the Hammer Double to the Model 59.
- I am writing this more from a cartridge collectors viewpoint than as a Winchester Shotgun collector. Ron's discussion and history of Winchester Shotgun Shells is invaluable. If you are interested in Winchester and in the part Winchester played in the deveoplment of the shotgun and it's ammunition, this is a great book. There are pictures of some very scarce to rare shotgun shells in the book.
- this book is a photo rich account of winchester shotguns produced during the classic pre-64 era, and as such it fills a hole in the winchester firearms library. this volume is full of photographs and gives good information. i have found it to be my "go to" book on winchester shotgun information. i do wish it had a little more text though which is why i rated it 4 out of 5 stars. still i highly reccomend this book to winchester shotgun enthusiasts.

3 comments about The American Arsenal: The World War II Official Standard Ordnance Catalog of Artillery, Small Arms, Tanks, Armored Cars, Antiaircraft Guns, Ammunition, Grenades, Mines (Greenhill Military Paperbacks).
- THIS IS A CATALOG OF STANDARD ORDNANCE FROM THE OFFICIAL U.S. WORLD WAR 2 ARSENAL
IN A NUTSHELL: IT DOESN'T GET AN CLEARER OR SIMPLER THAN THIS & FULLY ILLUSTRATED TOO!
If one is at all interested in military hardware, especially from an historical standpoint, this book will be impossible to put down. Basically, most everything, from fuses, to artillery shells and pieces to mines, mortars and grenades are included. Enough useful info is included for each individual ordnance for one to realize how these weapons might best have been used and to what effect. In some cases, the penetrating power of projectiles is also included, and this is especially important with tanks, which of course were also included, complete with detailed diagrams and specs.
BOTTOM LINE: EXACTLY WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE
- This is a wonderful overview of American technology "on the ground" in WWII. One thing that I felt that Mr. Hogg might have added is some consideration of production numbers and dates as an appendix.
- This catelog is very comprehensive in terms of the number of weapons used by the US in WW2. Basically it is composed of copies of the original documents. Some weapons are missing, the Colt 1911 & tommy gun, but info on them is easy to find elsewhere. Excellent diagrams of ammo & mines. I would like a little more info on some of the more obscure arms, but taken as a whole this title is an excellent reference. I would like to see more titles, as comprehensive as this, concerning the other participants of ww2.
