《机关枪炮(The Machine Gun)》是一套五卷本的巨著,由已辞世的美国海军陆战队退役少校乔治·M.乔恩(George.M.Chinn)先生花费30多年的时间写成,书中从古代最早的弓箭、弩炮、投后机一直到1970年代的新型武器。这套书被认为是20世纪最伟大的武器专著之一,具有极高的收藏和参考价值。遗憾的是,目前该套书未有中文金译本,只有第四卷的中文译本——《枪炮自动原理》(1974年国防工业出版社出版)。本文译自美国《轻武器评论》杂志记者的一篇采访文章,采访对象巴迪·豪威尔先生是乔治·M.乔恩少校的惟一嫡孙,乔恩先生业已辞世,由他的嫡孙讲述其一生的经历和不朽的武器著作当十分合适——
The Machine Gun, a five-volume book, was written over 30 years by the retired Major General George M. Chinn of the late U.S. Marine Corps From the earliest ancient bow and arrow, ballista, throwing aircraft until the new weapons of the 1970s. This book is considered one of the greatest weapons monographs of the 20th century, with a very high collection and reference value. Unfortunately, there is no Chinese version of the translation of this book, only the fourth volume of the Chinese translation - “Guns Automatic Principle” (published by the National Defense Industry Press in 1974). This article is translated from an interview with a correspondent in the United States of America about “Light Weapons Review,” where Mr. Buddy Howell, the only grandchild of Major George C. Jon, died and was told by his grandchildren His lifetime experiences and immortal weapons are very appropriate -
