A sequel to Armament Engineering: A Computer Aided Approach, by the same author, this book is an amazingly simplified approach to the design of large caliber gun systems. Although it presupposes proficiency in essential mechanical design, it is adequately self-contained. The book aims to familiarize the engineer with mechanical engineering principles which underlie numerous designs of large caliber gun systems.
The book contains six chapters with illustrative design exercises fully supported by programmes and spreadsheets on a CD ROM. All the design exercises are based on factual data. Chapter 1 covers monobloc and autofrettaged gun barrels, vibration effects and chamber design. The second chapter handles breech assemblies and the dynamics of semi automatic mechanisms. Chapter 3 covers hydro pneumatic recoil systems exhaustively. The fourth chapter is devoted to balancing gears and the last two chapters effectively deal with elevating and traversing mechanism design. Finally all the data the student is likely to require is included in an exhaustive appendix. Interwoven with a wealth of practical and theoretical information, this volume, with its attached CD ROM is a must for military colleges offering gun design as a specialization.

Dear readers it gives me immense pleasure to connect with this book to you all. I never thought that one day this would happen and this is an exciting day for me. Since childhood, I had a dream to do something different, like becoming some sports personality or actor, but I never thought that I would be writing a novel. One day I was having a causal chat with my family on what I should do to accomplish my dreams and then my mom told me that I have the skills and capabilities to write something good. At that time I have not taken it seriously but on one day when I was thinking of that conversation i thought of trying my luck in writing. Initially I had no idea what to write and there were many thoughts came into my mind. Finally I thought of writing something really unique and different that shall give my readers something new. This novel has every part of imagination that I can put into and shall completely keep my readers engaged and excited.
