All things considered, this is an Osprey series that I should probably be collecting more numbers of, particularly as they relate to automatic weapons. In this case the author does a fine job of explaining the mechanics of this weapon, putting it into technical and operational context, and examining some of notable encounters where these weapons were used.

Interesting treatise on the 1853 Enfield musket that was used in the British Empire from the Crimean War to the Indian Mutiny, and then in the American Civil War. This was a popular musket used both by the Union and Confederate forces. This book discusses the development of the rifle, from the infantry model to the artillery and cavalry carbines, and Indian Service Enfields. Technological advances in the model are discussed, and the improved accuracy and range of the minie ball used with the barrel-loading musket. Recommended for those with an interest in 19th century military tactics, military technology, the Crimean War, the American Civil War and the Indian Mutiny. Anyone who owns an original Enfield musket, or a reproduction used in reenactments, will appreciate this book.… (plus d'informations)
