There will be at least two books for the gun series. The first is the one we are currently working on and about to finish. It covers Small arms from 1950 to 2000. The second book would cover Small Arms from 1900 to 1950. There are a huge number of guns out there.
By breaking them down into periods, we make the projects manageable. This also covers design periods. In the 1950s certain trends took hold of the arms industry in the design of weapons on many levels. We see another one happen in the mid to late seventies, and yet a third in the 90s. The first book covers these weapons.
The second book in the series will cover the weapons and the design theories that come out of the Civil War, British "Brush Wars", and Franco-Prussian War which are put to the test in the early 1900s, the design changes following World War I and the massive changes that happen right before and during World War II.
Who knows, if the demand is there, we could always do an 1800 to 1900 book and maybe a pre-1800 book that covers the dawn of firearms from 1400 to 1800. There are a fair number of options available and it all depends on what the company we work with allows us to do!
Ultimately, we hope to be the "Jane's" of Game Industry. We have the tools, the resources, and the minds to do it. We just need a publisher to do it. I think AOG will be the publisher to do just that!
Hope that helps!
Cheers!
