      The M14 may have only been the primary US service rifle for a little over a decade before being replaced by the M16, but it is still considered by many experts to be the best rifle to ever see US service. Primarily designed for a war in Europe, where it would take its place alongside the other battle rifles like the FN FAL, the M14 saw most of its combat use in the early days of the Vietnam War. Maintained until 1970 for compatibility with NATO forces the M14 had a renaissance as a semi-automatic sniping weapon and since 2001 the M14 has been employed as a Designated Marksman Rifle

      Kniha mapuje slavnou stoletou historii Coltu, popisuje jeho design a překvapivě mnohostranné užití v boji, nejnovější technické inovace a také vliv, jaký měla pistole 1911 na dějiny palných zbraní. Do výzbroje US ARMY se dostala roku 1911 a s jedinou výraznou modernizací v roce 1924 sloužila jako standardní krátká palná zbraň až do roku 1985, kdy ji nahradila Beretta 92 F (M9) ráže 9 mm Luger. Některé speciální armádní jednotky ji ale používají dodnes a po zkušenostech z Iráku a Afghánistánu se objevily názory, že by měla být 1911 do výzbroje amerických ozbrojených sil zavedena znovu. Dočkala se mnoha variant určených pro civilní trh, vyvážela se do řady zemí a je stále nejkopírovanější pistolí na světě. Byla nasazena ve čtyřech velkých válkách, stříleli z ní nejen váleční hrdinové, ale také mnozí slavní ochránci zákona včetně agentů FBI a na druhé straně proslulí gangstři, například Bonnie a Clyde.
