happy and glad that such a book was created.. just wish there was more to the series for WW II arms...

now this here has wepons that are a lot of times forgotten or no one really knew about such as the luftfuast or the panzer fuast 150-250. they have a bunch of differnt types and modles of the same gun because the germans liked to waste time makeing veriants. and it has a nice size list of small and large arms. now it goes not have all the fire arms but then again a book with every german WW II fire arm would be a novle.

it is a must have and i say get it, even if you do not agree with the damage dice or some of the IRL to RPG stats it gives you a great idea. i hope they make more WW II fire arm books.

Likes: lots of wepons for differnt type of systems, and lots of history for it.

disslikes: they seemd to ignore my faves G43 or K43, the STG, and my fave the paratrooper FG 42

main thought: make a 2nd book with the other stuff, but a pretty good buy.

This is a great book if you like trivia about several obscure German firearms of WW2. But if you, like me, wanted the low-down on the most commonly used German firearms for use in your campaign, then this book is a waste of money. Richly detailed is the Volkespistole and the Luftfaust, the latter only a prototype weapon. Notably missing are the mainstays of the Wehrmacht arsenal - the MP38/40, the MG42 and MG34, as well as the Bergmann MP18 and the late Sturmgewehr 44. I'm deeply disappointed. Had I bought this unseen in a shop, I'd have taken it right back and demanded a refund.

Another great offering in the Big Bang series.

An essential if you are going to run a WW2 style game, the attention to detail and research involved is impeccable, and as with other products suits a wide variety of gaming systems. There are tons of very accurate detail for the weapons within, and good pictures of the weapons themselves abound throughout the book.

Definitely a must-have product for those looking for a great, in-depth reference as well as those looking for simply stats and pictures of WW2 German weapons.
