With the 100 year anniversary of WWI fast approaching, I had more than a few people asking me what was I planning to do. Truth be told, I couldn’t think of anything we could handle that would do credit to the occasion.
Luckily, we have a large community of firearm and history enthusiasts who can provide their own experience and knowledge for one project to help us learn about, and remember the small arms of the “War to End All Wars.” So instead of tackling such a responsibility alone, the gang at C&Rsenal published a set of tutorials on how we, as a team, create line drawings of uniform scale. We’ve started asking around for anyone who would like to work with the images, make suggestions on what to include, write content, or peer-review and expand the history of these guns.
