Prior to the 1960s very few shooters bothered to collect shotgun cartridges. Cartridges were fired, and the spent cases disposed of. Gradually. However, an interest in old brands began. They cropped up in drawers, attics and innumerable places, where they had been put aside, sometimes by the family of a deceased sportsman or by the shooter himself who considered them too old to fire. So, a new hobby was born. As the sixties progressed it grew steadily. It incorporated all manner of shooting ephemera but, sadly, monetary values infiltrated this type of collecting. In due course a relatively common brand from a past era cost a few pounds. Nowadays it can become an expensive past-time. The majority of newcomers today rely upon swapping with fellow enthusiasts. Apart from the pleasure of owning a collection of vintage brands it is also a history of the sport. There were thousands of different brands, many becoming forgotten or unknown brands from the first half of the 20th century, even earlier. This book details but a chosen few, both well known and rare items. A complete work would be an impossibility. Guy N. Smith has been collecting cartridges from an early age, fascinated by those used by his father in his childhood. His interest has led to the accumulation of a sizeable collection and he has written many articles about individual brands for the sporting press. After much deliberation he decided to write a book featuring both his favourites and true rarities.

Autocannon is a comprehensive history of the development of automatic cannon and their ammunition from the end of the nineteenth century up to the present day. A brief history of their development is followed by sections examining the basic principles of gun and ammunition design, including various unconventional systems. Next comes a survey of cartridges in calibre order, from 20mm to 57mm, including not only ammunition that has seen service, but also a wide range of experimental types. Finally there is a survey of the cannon, grouped by nationality, which again includes many experimental models. The book includes data on about 200 different cartridges and 400 cannon, and has nearly 500 illustrations. It is the culmination of decades of research, and is unmatched in its coverage of this subject.

The breech loading shotgun would have been no use without its cartridges. Much has already been written about the histories of shotguns, but very little about the many cartridges that were loaded into the breeches. This book contains drawings of a large number of examples of cartridges and cartridge firms, many of which have not appeared in Ken's previous titles. It is a companion to the previous works which collectively offer a record of Ken's extensive drawings detailing the history of shotgun cartridges. It should bring back much nostalgia to many older shooting folk.
