Sniping Rifles in World War I Romance and poker playersDescription by Martin Pegler Paperback While Germany and Austria Hungary were well equipped with sniping rifles in 1914, their Allied opponents were not. This highly illustrated volume tells the inside story of the rifles carried by snipers of all the major powers during World War I. Although military sharpshooting had existed since the 18th century, in 1914 only the German and Austro Hungarian armies fielded trained snipers armed with scoped rifles.
