From the ruin of defeat in the Great War arose an overwhelming chaos that engulfed the remains of the Russian Empire.  Various revolutionary factions took up arms against the Provisional Government and the nation plunged into civil war.

Here we have several weapons to display, some dating from far before the period.  Newer weapons developed during this period are in the first column, while older weapons remaining in service are found in the second column.  Each is accompanied by photographs, technical specifications, and a full description of the weapon.  We have tried to focus of the history of each weapon's development, its capabilities and limitations, and where they have been used in combat.  The various types of ammunition used with each weapon are also listed and described.
