Gun Barons (eBook, ePUB)
In this riveting work of narrative history, veteran reporter John Bainbridge, Jr. vividly brings to life five charismatic and idiosyncratic men who, living within ninety miles of one another, changed the course of history through the invention and refinement of the repeating firearm - the precursor to today's automatic weapon. These men are now household names: the huckster and hard-living Samuel Colt; the seemingly dull but cunning former shirt-maker Oliver Winchester; the constant tinkerer Horace Smith; the resilient and innovative businessman Daniel Wesson; and the skinny abolitionist Christopher Spencer. We follow these men as they compete ferociously, each trying to corner the market for repeating weapons in the years running up to the outbreak of the American Civil War and during the war itself. Because these innovators had difficulty securing government contracts for their weapons during the war (American government agents believed that repeating weapons 'used too much ammunition'), they were forced to ply their wares directly to soldiers - sometimes just as the soldiers walked into battle. These guns were fast and powerful: Winchester's 'Henry' rifle fired sixteen shots without reloading at a time when most enemies could only fire two muzzle-loaded shots. When these weapons quickly become coveted possessions, both during the Civil War and then in the conquering of the West, America's romance with personal ownership of repeating weapons was born. In this wide-ranging work, Bainbridge tells a gripping story of tenacity, conviction, innovation, debauchery and pure heartless greed.- Shop: buecher

Samuel Colt: The Life and Legacy of the Man Who Invented America’s Most Famous Guns , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
“God made men, but Sam Colt made them equal.” (A common 19th century adage)The industrial revolution that unfolded in Western societies at the dawn of the 19th century altered daily life as a rapidly developing paradigm. Military weapons benefited from various upgrades and innovations, even as the soldiers and generals remained confined within Napoleonic tactics while struggling to learn about the new principles of physics and engineering.By the time weapons industrialist Samuel Colt was born, the Lewis and Clark expedition sent to the Pacific by Thomas Jefferson had only recently returned with their report on the first overland continental journey. Outside of a small group of mountain men trapping and trading fur for European fashion magnates, few white settlers had found their way across the Great Plains. The firearms of the revolution demonstrated little difference between a soldier’s flintlock musket and a hunting weapon taken from the mantle.Trapped in the same technological rut, as future wars drew near in the new century, Samuel Colt entered the pool of visionaries in search of the invention that would tip the power balance in favor of those who possessed it. As an observant child of the Industrial Revolution, Colt would ultimately lead the way with the most defining design changes in weaponry, and through constant trial and error, he gave the military what it wanted despite fierce resistance and apathy: an answer to the reloading conundrum. The half-minute intervals in which soldiers, lawmen, and hunters were at their most vulnerable was effectively eliminated after centuries of resignation, and the ensuing refinements to his handguns, in particular, were crucial to the outcomes of multiple wars, the American expansion west, and cowboy life along the frontier.Samuel Colt: The Life and Legacy of the Man Who Invented America’s Most Famous Guns looks at the individual and firearms that helped shape the nation in the 19th ce ungekürzt.

Glock: The Rise of America's Gun , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
Based on 15 years of research, Glock is the riveting story of the weapon that has become known as America’s gun. Today the Glock pistol has been embraced by two-thirds of all U.S. police departments, glamorized in countless Hollywood movies, and featured as a ubiquitous presence on prime-time TV. It has been rhapsodized by hip-hop artists, and coveted by cops and crooks alike. Created in 1982 by Gaston Glock, an obscure Austrian curtain-rod manufacturer, and swiftly adopted by the Austrian army, the Glock pistol, with its lightweight plastic frame and large-capacity spring-action magazine, arrived in America at a fortuitous time. Law enforcement agencies had concluded that their agents and officers, armed with standard six-round revolvers, were getting "outgunned" by drug dealers with semi-automatic pistols. They needed a new gun. When Karl Water, a firearm salesman based in the U.S. first saw a Glock in 1984, his reaction was, “Jeez, that’s ugly.” But the advantages of the pistol soon became apparent. The standard semi-automatic Glock could fire as many as 17 bullets from its magazine without reloading. (One equipped with an extended 33 cartridge magazine was used in Tucson to shoot Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others). It was built with only 36 parts that were interchangeable with those of other models. You could drop it underwater, toss it from a helicopter, or leave it out in the snow, and it would still fire. It was reliable, accurate, lightweight, and cheaper to produce than Smith and Wesson’s revolver. Made in part of hardened plastic, it was even rumored (incorrectly) to be invisible to airport security screening. Filled with corporate intrigue, political maneuvering, Hollywood glitz, bloody shoot-outs - and an attempt on Gaston Glock’s life by a former lieutenant - Glock is at once the inside account of how Glock the company went about marketing its pistol to police agencies and later the public, as well as a compelling chr ungekürzt.
