The subject of the book is long and short hand firearms, that is, the rifle and pistol. It will not be a general history of weapons and military ordnance, and especially the history of the rifle, but strictly specific issues and cases concerning the regulation small arms of the Polish army from 1797 to 1831.The history of wars and military, and therefore the history of states and nations, and in part the history of material culture, has always been and is dictated by the technical development of weapons. For many years the author has been compiling descriptions of the regulation small arms of the Polish army from 1797 to 1945, an excerpt of which is presented in this work.
