This is 1 of 8, in an excellent series of 15 minute documentaries detailing the development of guns from the flintlock to modern military arms and is definitely one for the connoisseur. Note, there are some tape damage parts. I recorded this series with my first VHS machine in the early eighties and when the tapes started deteriorating, I transferred them to DVD, using an old player to clean the corrosion off and a new player and tape cleaner, used about every 10 minutes to clean the heads. Took about 3 weeks. then when I couldn't find this series on YouTube, I decided to converted them to Mp4 using Sony Vegas, for upload, as I wanted to make sure this documentary, in great BBC style, stayed alive.
