The Shotgun

It is time for the fourth and last volume of the much-acclaimed collectors’ edition by Norbert Klups, and what’s missing in this series is the history of the shotgun.

The shotgun is usually the first firearm to be obtained by people who have just acquired their shooting license. They are useful primarily for hunting birds and other small game. On the other hand, shotguns are also used for target shooting sports such as skeet, trap and sporting clays – not to mention their military or law enforcement context.

This book starts with a historic review, continues with the locking technologies of different kinds of shotguns as well as their various specialisations followed by substantial information on manufacturers. This information also serves as a buyer’s guide for anybody looking for a new shotgun. This unique reference guide rounds up this wonderful collection.
