Martin, it is an excellent book isnt it. I find it very hard to get tired of looking through the pics and reading the information. It is particularly useful for re-enactors as it has information on stripping and assembling some weapons.

As for the FG42, I have never seen a real one outside a museum however Japanese replicas (of high quality) sell for £800 ish over here!
