Small Arms of WWII: Soviet Union follows the highly praised inaugural book in our Second World War series, Small Arms of WWII: USA, and continues Headstamp Publishing’s in-depth look into the myriad of weapons developed and fielded around the globe by the various participants in the Second World War.
This book series fuses historical commentary and meticulous photography to give readers a deeper understanding of the development and fielding of small arms before and during the war. Author Ian McCollum (of Forgotten Weapons) and photographer James Rupley (of Vickers Guide) have teamed up to ensure that this book series delivers valuable historical insight along with a visually detailed presentation that has not been seen before.
The Second World War was a fascinating and dynamic time in the history of firearms – a period when revolvers, bolt-action weapons, and First World War-era designs were commonplace, yet the participants were actively working to simplify production while also increasing the firepower available to individual soldiers. We detail these developments in Small Arms of the WWII.
Small Arms of WWII: Soviet Union covers the following categories of firearms utilized by the various branches of the Soviet military during the Second World War:
Handguns,
Submachine Guns,
Bolt-Action Rifles,
Self-Loading Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and
Machine Guns,
along with a section of miscellaneous items highlighting anti-tank rifles, the Dyakonov rifle grenade launcher, and the ShKAS aircraft machine gun.
Small Arms of WWII: Soviet Union presents this highly curated collection of firearms in never-before-seen detail on larger than life, wide format, full color prints in a premium hardback form.
