In this innovative history of small arms, Maartje Abbenhuis demonstrates how the invention of ready-to-use rifle cartridges in the industrial era made death accessible to all, with revolutionary results. She explains how their lethality influenced perceptions of gun violence, and how these ideas helped to shape the laws of war.
