There's no way for me to get any practise with firearms right now but I'd like to learn about them. Theories, tactics, types of weapons, builds, etc.

Can anyone recommend me some good litterature on firearms?

Is that why gas is so cheap?

Gas is so cheap because the Saudis are deliberately trying to kill their competition by pumping at unsustainable levels.

Ranger Handbook and Infantry Platoon and Squad Tactics are good places to start.

There's an encyclopedia or sorts called "Small Arms of the World." I came across an old edition which was amazing. Don't know who the current editor would be though. It will get you started with a history of the development and use of a lot of 20th century firearms.
