The last of ten programmes Things to Come
Introduced by Christopher Roads
In modern times, firearms have distinctly diverged into ' military and ' leisure ' categories. Fine shot-guns or hunting-rifles have perhaps never been better made, better finished or more costly; military arms never so cheaply and Simply made, so functional and unaesthetic. Developments continue in both fields and some of the features of the firearms of the future can already be glimpsed. Narrated by DUNCAN CARSE
