Small Arms For Urban Combat

Warfare has changed drastically over the centuries. For hundreds of years when nations fought against nations most battles occurred in valleys, open terrain, castle sieges and other large battlefields.

Things have changed and now much of warfare is fought in urban areas. Buildings, alleyways, business districts, homes and other areas where large populations congregate are often sites of bloody conflict.

As battles changed so have the weapons used. Up close and personal weapons, especially firearms, are predominately used. Anything from handguns, machine guns, assault rifles, grenade launcher, shotguns and other up close and personal weapons are also used.

In the book Small Arms For Urban Combat A Review, by author Russel C. Tilstra and publisher McFarland & Company, Publishers Inc., invaluable information of the different types of weapons, their capabilities, various brands, how they are used and an examination of weapons soon to be introduced is also included.

Specs, the history of said weapons, their current and past use and a working knowledge of various weapons prepare readers to not only how to use the weapons but which weapons are most effective in certain situations.

If you are a weapons neophyte, such as myself, this book offers tons of information and helpful advice.

I hate murder, assault, plunder and destruction. As a Christian I am to pray for those that do such things.  Vengeance is God's, not mine.

God also grants wisdom.  I have the weapons to stop someone from harming my family or stealing or destroying our property.  I pray I never have to use them.

Psalms 34:4 - I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
