The publication brought to the attention of the reader is the first specialized printed work in history dedicated to the armament of the Russian army during the First World War. The peculiarity of the book is that it was written not from the point of view of a specialist gunsmith or collector, but from the point of view of those who had to fight with these weapons - soldiers and officers of the Russian army at the beginning of the 1914th century. In domestic practice, an attempt to describe this kind is made for the first time. Thanks to this, the book will be useful to specialists in history, costume designers, military history reenactors, as well as to anyone interested in the history of the Russian army in 1917-1914. The book tells about rifles and carbines, both in service with the Russian army in 1917-XNUMX, and officially not in service, but used by the troops. The latter concerns obsolete domestic as well as foreign weapons supplied to Russia by the allies or captured by the Russian army as trophies. For each sample, a brief history of its creation and adoption is given, as well as the main changes that the system underwent during its release. Particular attention in the book is paid to the use of weapons in the army, its advantages and disadvantages in the eyes of a soldier. In addition to the rifles themselves, the ammunition used for them is described, and the accessories and equipment are briefly described. A separate chapter is devoted to the conservation and repair of weapons in the troops. When writing the book, materials from archival funds were widely used, as well as published sources from the beginning of the XNUMXth century, mainly special and technical literature, which today are a rarity. The book is supplied with extensive illustrative material both from museum funds and from private collections. Much of the information contained in the book is being published for the first time.
