Small Arms of WWII: United States of America is the first in Headstamp Publishingβs newest book series covering the myriad of weapons developed and fielded around the globe by the various participants in the Second World War.
This book series blends fresh historical commentary and beautiful photography to give readers a new understanding and perspective of small arms development before, during, and after the war. Author Ian McCollum (of Forgotten Weapons) and photographer James Rupley (of Vickers Guide) have teamed up to create a book series that is simultaneously engaging, entertaining, educational, and artistically gorgeous.
The Second World War was a fascinating and dynamic time in the history of firearms β a period that began with revolvers and bolt-action weapons, and ended with the first generations of modern select-fire combat rifles. We detail these developments in Small Arms of WWII, discussing not just what the weapons were, but why they were developed and how they performed in the field. If you want to get a better understanding of how these weapons changed warfare and were in turn themselves changed by warfare, this is the book series for you!
Small Arms of WWII: USA covers the following categories of firearms utilized by the various branches of the U.S. military during the Second World War:
- Handguns
- Submachine Guns
- Rifles
- Machine Guns
- Shotguns
- Miscellaneous items
Small Arms of WWII: USA presents this highly curated collection of firearms in never-before-seen detail on larger than life, wide format, full color prints in a premium hardback form.

Anyone else notice that Ian's wearing a French M51 helmet? You must own a US M1 helmet -- you had one on during that July 4th M1 Garand match with Karl back in 2017.

A Headstamp book on US WWII weapons? You're gonna sell a hell of a lot of these, hope you printed a bunch. Signed copy ordered!

You had me at "Hey guys." Just bought mine.

More out of curiosity since I used to work in publishing. Is this one coming from the same Chinese printer as the prior books?

Certainly a buy. With a "book tour," I hope you might go talk to Paul Woodadge of WW2TV on Youtube. He has many authors on, and I am sure you two would have a good conversation.
That might be the fastest Iβve ever ordered something.

Didn't even have to watch the video first, just clicked the link and ordered up. Glad I did especially after watching the video post order.

Lol, I didn't even realize there was a video until after I placed my order. I initially thought this was just a text post about the book.

This may be the fastest I've ever jumped on a Headstamp pre-order. I have no idea what the number of signature editions there will be on this run, but I had to make sure to get one.
Did not even need to watch. A dream team with Ian on content and Mr Rupley behind the camera!
