416 pages, 441 illustrations
A chilling study of small arms development and procurement in the post-Ordnance
US small arms environment, wherein OSD 'whiz kids' arrogantly called the tune
and shooting watermelons at a picnic passed for engineering development. Beginning
with the Black Rifle's forebear the ArmaLite AR-10, through the small caliber/high
velocity (SCHV) program at Aberdeen Proving Ground, the .22 Gustafson carbine,
the .22/NATO T48 and the Springfield and Winchester .224 rifles, this is an in-depth
examination of the many controversies surrounding the 5.56mm M16 'package' - where
it came from: what it is; what it is not, and why.
