Weapons of War

by Felicia Law (Editor)

What is a blunderbuss? How did musketeers get their name? Would you know how to assemble a complete suit of armour? Who invented the atom bomb? What’s in a Molotov Cocktail? Did you know that a modern machine gun can fire up to 1,600 rounds of ammunition a minute? What kind of vehicle runs on caterpillar tracks? Find the answers to all these questions, and more, in this title of the Crafty Inventions series. Then go on to craft a jeweled scimitar, construct a grenade desk tidy, launch a volley of paper rockets, build a camouflaged tank and fire a mega pea-shooter.
