The greatest Russian military scientist V. G. Fedorov (1874–1966) entered our history as the founder of the national school of gunsmiths and the inventor of the first Russian machine gun. In his unique work The History of the Rifle, published on the eve of the Great Patriotic War, the author talks about how gradually, as military art developed, small arms changed and improved. The book describes in detail its numerous examples in chronological order - from throwing weapons of ancient times (bows, slings, balasses, darts, crossbows, arquebuses), flintlock guns and muskets - to the creation of the legendary 3-line Mosin rifle and the first automatic rifles and submachine guns of the XX century. The author's drawings and drawings of the 1940 edition are supplemented with color photographs of small arms from museum and private collections, as well as classical battle paintings. The book is addressed to anyone who is interested in the history of weapons.
