Medieval Handgonnes: The First Black Powder Infantry Weapons

new weapon entered the arsenals of European armies. It was at this point
that black powder, which had been known for at least a century, started
being used to shoot projectiles. This volume, complete with detailed
illustrations and color photographs of reconstructed handgonnes, reveals
the true history of what could easily be the most revolutionary weapon
in history.
