Description
Sniping Rifles in World War I by Martin Pegler explores the development and use of sniper rifles during the conflict. In 1914, Germany and Austria-Hungary had well-equipped snipers, but their Allied opponents were not prepared for this new form of warfare. The introduction of sniping rifles was a significant disadvantage for the Allies, who struggled to respond effectively. However, some countries eventually developed suitable rifles and training systems, including the Canadians, British, French, and Italians. The Americans also made efforts to find a suitable sniping weapon after entering the war in 1917. This book features full-colour artwork, archive images, and photographs of the sniping rifles and accessories used during World War I, providing a detailed look at this often-overlooked aspect of the conflict.
