This book was written to interest the reader in the simplicity and the hidden complexity that good gun designs exhibit and prompt the imagination of the reader to investigate the field of firearms design further. Reading this book will give the reader:
- The safety considerations that must be considered for firearms designs today in comparison to the past
- The several design and safety flaws of the Remington Derringer that precludes its ability to be sold or manufactured today
- The full technical data package of a reverse engineered Remington Double Derringer
- The full technical data package for the .41 Short Rimfire cartridge with ballistics and an effectiveness comparison to other cartridges
- A listing of firearms tests to qualify a gun design today
- The design maxims that every gun designer must be aware of to design firearms
This book, like the previous two, is unique as it is not a picture book of firearms, a guide on how to use them, nor discusses their maintenance or care. It does expose the engineering that goes behind a gun design project.
