No. Surprisingly, books, including non-fiction, are horribly inaccurate. Tom Clancy isn't as horrible as Hollywood, but he still makes up stuff.

Also, I'm leafing through "Gun: A Visual History" and I've already uncovered half a dozen WTF? mistakes. How do you mess up stats?

There are numerous websites dedicated to this and it's a popular topic on many gun forums.
