Big Bang Vol. 3: US Army Future Combat Systems

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This particular volume of Big Bang focuses on the Army Future Combat Systems. We'll look at the entire family of new weapons being developed as variants of the XM8 Lightweight Assault Rifle and revisit the XM29 SABR. We will also cover the X312 .50 Caliber Lightweight Heavy Machine Gun, the XM307 25mm Crew-Served Weapon, the XM25 25mm Airburst Weapon, the XM107 Long Range Sniper Rifle as well as its M82 "Light Fifty" predecessors, and Barret's XM109 Payload Rifle. We also cover the Predator SRAW, AT8 Bunker Buster, Multi-Purpose Individual Munition/Short Range Assault Weapon, and the XM320 40mm Grenade Launcher. It all comes with the usual stellar combination of tasty fluff and crunchy goodness you've come to expect from the Big Bang series. Over 30 weapon systems and variants are covered in this volume.

Be aware that this product was produced in 2003 and many of the weapons detailed are no longer part of the Future Combat Arms program.

Once again I have to say I am impressed with the work at realism that the guide has. Most other guides are kind of shall we say outdated and biased. If you are playing in the modern times you really need a gun. Right? Well why settle foe a gun that [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
