This book begins by discussing a variety of reasonable options for self-defense that could be successfully used by almost any person from age 18 to age 80. It also objectively reviews the pros and cons of hand-to-hand combat. The advantages and disadvantages of a variety of different types of body armor are then reviewed including traditional and modern options. This is followed by a discussion of the following types of traditional weapons: bucklers, shields, clubs, maces, bullwhips, slings, flails, war hammers, staffs, canes, longbows, recurve bows, compound bows, crossbows, atlatls, spears, javelins, pikes, tridents, knives, daggers, bayonets, swords, rapiers, katanas, machetes, axes, halberds, tomahawks, and hatchets. The focus of the book then changes to modern weapons and accessories including: laser sights, night vision, flashlights, riflescopes, slings, bipods, derringers, revolvers, pistols, holsters, single-shot rifles, bolt-action rifles, lever-action rifles, semi-automatic rifles, break-barrel shotguns, pump-action shotguns, semi-automatic shotguns, muskets, black powder rifles, and pellet rifles. There is also a 40 page chapter that carefully explains "how to hit the bullseye of a target." The final 46 pages of this book explains "how to cast lead bullets and how to reload ammunition." This book includes information that would be useful to any person who was interested in knowing more about the most popular self-defense weapons that have been used since the beginning of recorded history. This book also clearly explains which of these weapons would be of practical value in the twenty-first century.
