I know that some obscure Russian weapons were sold in Germany through the Hermann Historica or its likes, but there are some handguns, for example, which are not available for collectors, such as those firing internally suppressed piston-operated ammo.

Hi,

the date is now 25/04/2022.

Thank you....

Hooray - the second draft arrived in my inbox yesterday so I'm now going through it line by line, checking and indexing. Not sure when it will actually be on sale, though.

The date is now 27/5/22 on the Crowood website.

Looks possible. I'm about halfway through it, checking for errors and indexing .

I look forward to its arrival Tony. 

On a related note, I hope you've been checking the 'Ukraine Weapons Thread,' theres been a couple fantastic 30mm Autocannon fights against both tanks and IFVs, which I figured you'd get a kick out of. I'm not sure the last time thats happened - 1991? 

I must admit I've been focusing on getting the book sorted, with time only to glance through the forum to keep me more or less up to speed.

Completely understand. I'll try and compile the relevant AC action videos and send it to you in a PM when I get a chance. 

Earliest publication date is now the end of July.
