Book excerpt: This book is written for collectors of the Japanese Type 99 Arisaka Rifle. It briefly covers the evolution of Japanese service rifles, the Japanese numbering system (needed to properly identify each model), the code of every arsenal producing rifles for the Japanese Empire, then a thorough discussion with diagrams of all the major parts of the Type 99 showing their evolutionary process from the rifle's introduction in 1939 to the hastily assembled substitute rifles of 1945. New to this edition are chapters covering the Type 99 Special Naval Rifle, Non-military Type 99s, Korean War Arisakas, the Type 30 Bayonet and an appendix which reproduces the US Government's Technical Manual for Korean War reissued Type 99s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entering service in 1897, the Arisaka family of bolt-action rifles armed Japanese troops and others through two world wars and many other conflicts, including the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05. Issued in long and short versions – the latter for cavalry and specialists – the Type 30 was the first main Arisaka model, arming Imperial Japan's forces during the Russo-Japanese War, though after the war it was refined into the Type 38, which would still be in use in 1945. The main Arisaka rifle of World War II though was the Type 99. Lighter and more rugged than the US M1903 Springfield rifle it would face in the initial battles in the Pacific, it was produced in four main variants, including a sniping model and a take-down parachutist's rifle. Featuring full-colour artwork as well as archive and close-up photographs, this is the absorbing story of the rifles arming Imperial Japan's forces, from the trenches of Mukden in 1905 to the beaches of Okinawa 40 years later.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KNOW YOUR RIFLE! During the Korean War, approximately 126,500 short and 6,650 long Type 99 Rifles were re-chambered under American supervision at the Tokyo arsenal to fire the U.S. Military M2 -.30-06 Springfield cartridge. These rifles were fitted with a lengthened magazine well and had a small notch cut in the top of the receiver ring in order to accommodate the .30-06 round's 1/3 of an inch greater overall length. The Pentagon rather wisely wrote a Technical Manual for the converted rifles that addresses inspection of the weapon, care, assembly and function. This then is that TM. Truth be told, an Army Technical Manual is an instructional book. In this case it names all of the Arisaka rifle parts and details what they do. Its illustrations show those parts in mechanical drawings. Naturally there is a section on disassembly and assembly of the Arisaka Type 99. The bayonet is covered briefly, as is the different types of .30-06 ammunition that can be fired out of the rifle (M-2 Ball, Tracer, Armor Piercing, blank). The section on the antiaircraft sights explains how the sights are to be used and which marks on the sight arms correspond to speed and distance. In other words, the narrative explains how to use the sights to shoot at aircraft. (Golden BB notwithstanding, good luck with that!) Modestly illustrated and printed in Large Format (8 x 10). You should also know this manual is widely available in PDF format online. But it has problems. The physical copy the PDF was made from is said to have been a bring home from a U.S. GI. It is faded, blurry and hard to read. Our print version has the distinct advantage of being crystal clear and you can hold it in your hand, and reference it without having to do a file search. Finally, it has been suggested that this is actually a South Korean manual. Our editors considered that possibility when the book was still under consideration for publishing. But to our way of thinking it did not make sense that the US Army Ordnance Corps would take on refitting tens of thousands of Type 99 rifles and not participate in the writing of its manual. Moreover, you will notice the book is written in English, not Korean. Few South Korean soldiers spoke, much less read, English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lee-Enfield is one of the 20th century's most recognisable and longest-serving military rifles. It was adopted by the British Army in 1895 and only replaced by the L1A1 SLR in 1957. It saw combat from the Boer War onwards, and thousands are still in use today; it is estimated that 17 million have been produced. Soldier's recollections of the rifle are overwhelmingly affectionate (it was known as the Smellie); today it remains a very popular target rifle for competitive shooting, and modern copies are being manufactured to meet demand. Featuring first-hand accounts, brand-new full-colour artwork and close-up photographs, this is the story of the Lee-Enfield, the innovative, reliable and long-lived rifle that equipped British and other forces through the world wars and beyond.
