Editorial Review:
The era of early guns lasted for nearly 800 years, from the discovery of gunpowder around the year 1000 to the widespread use of the flintlock musket as late as the 19th century. At their peak, early guns became the dominant battlefield weapon, totally supplanting the swords and lances of armored knights. Galileo and other scientists brought mathematics to the battlefield, ushering in the field of ballistics, while the availability of guns made it possible for many colonists to rise up against their rulers.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Editorial Review:
The machine gun is one of the most devastating, efficient killing machines ever developed. Pushed by the need to fire more bullets faster, weapons innovators started developing an automatic firing weapon as far back as the 14th century. But it was not until World War I that the machine gun came into its own. EARLY MACHINE GUNS is a fascinating chronicle of the development of these weapons, introducing innovators like Richard Gatling and Hiram Maxim and examining their inventions in detail. William Atwater, Director of the Army Ordnance Museum, shows off some of his collection's rare guns and details the technological advances that eventually transformed the machine gun from a dangerous curiosity to a devastating killing machine. See rare footage from World War I, when they proved their worth in some of the bloodiest battles in history. In one day alone during that terrible conflict, the machine gun was responsible for cutting down nearly 60,000 men! This is a story of triumph and tragedy; of remarkable technological innovation which put into the hands of one man the power of many.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Looks at the role of the machine gun and submachine gun since WWI, when a quarter of all casualties resulted from machine gun fire. We view WWII's German MGs, U.S. Brownings, British Stern, and Czech ZB/vz26, and the more recent and heavier M60 and M6 Vulcan, as well as the emerging market for light submachine guns like the Uzi.

Editorial Review:
A brief montage comprised of archive news film and still photographs highlighting the many dramatic assassinations and political murders which left a deep impact upon this century. Included are the murders which were allegedly committed by the avowed anarchists, Sacco and Vanzetti. The political assassinations of Louisiana Senator, Huey Long, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Senator Robert Kennedy, and Malcolm X. The shooting of Governor George Wallace, the mass killings perpetrated by Charles Whitman, and the murder of former Beatle, John Lennon. All of these crimes were committed with common and inexpensive firearms, but in the hands of an assassin or a madman, they became the infamous guns which changed the course of History. Although the shooting stopped long ago, it can still be heard reverberating to the present day. As time moves forward, the emotions begin to fade and these guns of infamy take on enormous value for collectors and museums. We will examine a number of guns which have left their indelible mark upon the Twentieth Century.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
