It covers both early and modern pistol or revolver cartridges and all the foreign as well as American sporting cartridges, and includes a discussion of the larger type of fixed ammunition--the .50 caliber, 20 mm., 37 mm. and 40 mm. shells and cartridges now being used in aircraft, anti-aircraft and anti-tank cannon. The book contains illustrations, charts, tables, and an index. Comprehensive coverage of the subject akin to Taylor's African Rifles and Cartridges.
