But the book offers far more than this. There are special spreads on all the world's leading gun manufacturers including Colt, Smith & Wesson and Beretta which offer a great insight into the production methods behind the world's most famous firearms. In recognition of the role of the gun in personal history and popular culture there are a series of 'gunmen' spreads on the likes of Billy the Kid, Bonnie and Clyde and Dirty Harry which recount the story of the chosen gunman and include an analysis of their signature weapon.
