Shooter’s Bible Guide to Extreme Iron is a comprehensive collection of all of the most extreme guns and cannons both in history and in the present.

Hand cannons, also known as "howdah pistols,” which were used on the Indian subcontinent by tiger hunters on elephants’ backs
Ultra big bore snipers, the roots of which reach back to the Revolutionary War and the Kentucky rifle
Gatling guns, a hand-cranked, rapid-fire gun, a modern version of which is powered by an electric motor and has a four thousand-round-per-minute cyclic rate
Muzzle-loading, smoothbore cannons, cast in bronze and iron, which dominated land and sea warfare until they were made obsolete
And much more!

Get fired up with the powerful weapons included in this addition to the Shooter’s Bible. Including historical facts and modern versions, this book is essential to any shooter’s collection.
