Book Description
Excerpt from Small Arms and Ammunition in the United States Service: With 52 Plates Thousands of volumes have been written concerning the tactics, engagements, campaigns, and personnel of our American armies. In determining the outcome of our many battles of the past, the weapons we used played a part second in importance only to morale. Yet the student of military history has available but meager information on the military characteristics and performance of these tools. A number of excellent works have been prepared in recent years cataloging the small arms employed in the United States service in the early days as to models, fabricators, and dimensional details. However, when questions arose as to effective range, accuracy, ammunition, rate of fire, and allied subjects, little could be determined without extensive research. Such fragmentary data as were readily available were likely to be found inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. During 1944 and 1945, while a member of the Historical Section, Office of Chief of Ordnance, my attention was brought forcibly to this lack of information. The section, in addition to its routine duties, was the clearinghouse for all questions submitted to Ordnance on obsolete materiel. Many of those comparatively simple inquiries caused us considerable trouble, as there was no definite place to look for any specific item. Fortunately we were able to find most of the answers, but it involved a lot of digging. It appeared desirable to assemble in one place all the pertinent information that could be located on the neglected phases of our small-arms history. I decided to try to forget what little I knew on this subject and to start with a clean slate. To avoid controversy and to get as nearly accurate a story as possible, contemporary source material was used for the most part. Where conjecture enters the picture, that fact has been clearly indicated. In some cases calibers or model dates are at variance with previously published data. Government documents themselves do not always agree, but in general the descriptions used are those employed officially at the time the arm was in service. That should come close enough. The plan was to supplement existing works rather than to amplify them. Starting from scratch, so to speak, I simply looked wherever I thought there might be some information, noted what I found, and then looked again.

Book Description
What Is Lightweight Small Arms Technologies The mission of the Lightweight Small Guns Technologies (LSAT) program, which is supported by the Joint Service Small Arms Program of the United States, is to dramatically cut down on the weight of small arms and the ammunition that goes along with them. The LSAT program is the United States military's most recent effort to replace already-existing small guns, following in the footsteps of a number of previous projects designed to study technological advancements in small arms. Lightening the load of small guns is the first big step toward boosting troops' lethality and survivability, according to both tactical principles and the research that was conducted as part of past small arms initiatives. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Lightweight Small Arms Technologies Chapter 2: Cartridge (firearms) Chapter 3: Heckler and Koch G11 Chapter 4: Caseless ammunition Chapter 5: Internal ballistics Chapter 6: Stoner 63 Chapter 7: Steyr ACR Chapter 8: Advanced Combat Rifle Chapter 9: Advanced Individual Combat Weapon Chapter 10: Benelli CB M2 Chapter 11: Ares Incorporated Chapter 12: Glossary of firearms terms Chapter 13: LSAT light machine gun Chapter 14: LSAT (disambiguation) Chapter 15: LSAT rifle Chapter 16: LSAT caseless ammunition Chapter 17: M249 light machine gun Chapter 18: Telescoped ammunition Chapter 19: Polymer-cased ammunition Chapter 20: High?low system Chapter 21: Next Generation Squad Weapon Program (II) Answering the public top questions about lightweight small arms technologies. (III) Real world examples for the usage of lightweight small arms technologies in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of lightweight small arms technologies' technologies. Who This Book Is For Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of lightweight small arms technologies.
