Synopsis

The notion of “tiny” weaponry might not inspire awe…but small size can be lethal, and easily hidden. From a pocket pistol carried by law enforcement officers, to a submachine gun held by a personal bodyguard, to a carbine in the hands of an Army Ranger, many of today’s most effective weapons are remarkably compact. They can fit within a pocket, travel through the air, even penetrate walls – these small arms have become indispensable elements of warfare, self-protection, and acts of terror.
