Have you ever wondered what would happen if you created a genetic mutation of a Tavor, AK47 and AR15? Then stuck each end in a vise and twisted the whole mess about 45 degrees? The Arm Gun was a creation of engineers at the USAF Armament Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base back in 1968. Part of the intrigue of surplus weapons lies in the unusual stories. Without a doubt, most historical classic and military firearms represent brilliant design and manufacturing techniques. Who can argue with the sheer genius of John Moses Browning? Those products literally changed the course of world history. Others, like the Arm Gun, leave later generations with riddles. Oh, the woes of trial and error. Bold engineering ideas will make one a hero or zero. Get this edition and enjoy the stories of guns that changed world history.
