Making of a Gun - Tales of the Gun


Tales of the Gun is the TV series on the " History Channel ".  I wrote brief contents of
each episode and incorporated some pictures to it. Hope this TV series help me
understand the history.

Preface:
The gun has played the critical role in history. An invention which has been praised and denounced... served hero and villain alike... and carries with it moral responsibility. To understand the gun is to better understand history.
