This video is a book review of "Bewaffnung und Ausrustung der Schweizer Armee seit 1817" (Armament and Equipment of the Swiss Army since 1817) by Christian Reinhart and Michael am Rhyn. The reviewer highlights that this is one of several volumes focusing on Swiss military arms, both issued and experimental. This specific volume delves into machine guns and mortars, featuring a wealth of photos of unusual firearms. While the text is in German and the book was acquired overseas, the reviewer emphasizes the value of the illustrations alone. They also recommend Joe Poyer's "Swiss Magazine Loading Rifles" for a more practical focus on Swiss rifles readily available on the market.
