There are few inventions that have influenced modern culture and society the way the gun has. This book will teach you about guns and ammunition: action types, nomenclature, safety, marksmanship, and more. Even if you are the country's leading expert in hunting, you will learn about machine guns here. If you know all about law enforcement guns, you will learn about ammunition here. There is no need to be embarrassed or face ridicule at the gun shop, because you don't know which is the dangerous end - You can learn here. You don't need to worry about people making fun of you if you ask a question. The author has been teaching people about guns since 1986. His wealth of experience is now yours, so come on in and soak it up
Congratulations on taking the step to becoming licensed to work armed. Carrying a gun is a grave responsibility. Many security officers and investigators do not work armed. In order to work armed, most states require extensive training. The course is taught in a short period, and much of what you learn will be forgotten immediately after the test. It is important to know about guns: to choose the best gun for your job, to care for the gun, and to know how to operate it, especially when it malfunctions. This book is for you
I have cringed when I read about women and their bad experiences with guns. Many women try to have a boyfriend, uncle, father, brother, or husband teach them about guns, only to meet with frustration, ridicule, temper tantrums, and bad advice. Some women go to gun shops and are treated as if they are stupid or don't deserve the same gun rights men have. Ladies, when you go to a gun shop, you are the customer. You are entitled to the right product at a fair price. You will probably be sold something with pink grips marketed to women, at a high price, and shown items that will do nothing to enhance your experience, but make profits for the shop. I intend to prove that any woman can know as much as any man, can shoot the same guns as any man, and can be an educated consumer. I am here to help you make your gun experience a positive one.
This book will develop your gun handling and marksmanship skills and prepare you to become a responsible, safe and competent gun owner.

Borrowing a white tiger just to take the best pictures of a topless dancer posing with a German World War II Mauser might seem to be a little extreme for getting the reader's attention until you consider that author photographer Jack Corbett and his friends turned the White Tiger loose in a topless club afterwards. But "Extreme Guns and Babes for an Adult World" is not your average run of the mill book about guns. It is a collection of 26 articles the writer-photographer produced while writing for "Xtreme Magazine." This third edition of the book is printed in black and white whereas the 2nd edition is in full color and the first edition was published in Kindle. Each edition contains over 100 photos. There's over 26 models posing with the 26 weapons (or the Tiger), and all of them are feature entertainers and strippers. Jack Corbett's mission was one nearly every red blooded American male would envy which was he got to select his own models for his articles while getting to write about any gun he chose. And since Xtreme Magazine is a small East Coast adult magazine there was no bureaucracy to put up with. There's a lot of good stuff about guns here for all of you gun lovers out there. For instance, did you know why the Colt Python was the best .357 magnum revolver on the market or why Vietnam era M-16's are better man stoppers than the "improved models" being used today? Or why the underpowered, inaccurate (according to its detractors) M-1 carbine was the favorite weapon of Audie Murphy, America's most decorated World War II hero or how the German M42 machine gun outclassed the 30 caliber Browning used by American World War II soldiers? The book is labeled "adult" but this might be a misnomer. If you are looking for porn you will not find it here. If you are looking for complete nudity, there's been a coverup, as even though a large number of the pictures appearing in this book were shot in the nude, bare nipples and the most private portions of the models have disappeared into the dark recesses of Photoshop.

2012 Reprint of 1927 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Julian Hatcher was a noted firearms expert and author of the early twentieth century. He is credited with several technical books and articles relating to military firearms, ballistics, and auto loading weapons. His premier works are "Hatcher's Notebook" and "Book of the Garand," along with "Pistols and Revolvers and Their Uses" and "Textbook of Pistols and Revolvers." In the latter work he introduced the Hatcher Scale, probably the first attempt to determine the stopping power of a handgun round by a formula. He was also a pioneer in the forensic identification of firearms and their ammunition. Hatcher retired from the United States Army as a Major General. Afterward, he served as Technical Editor of the National Rifle Association's "American Rifleman" magazine.
