Not asserted: the record does not name the creating body; its local identifier places it in NARA record group 111 (Office of the Chief Signal Officer, Army Signal Corps), a federal agency's records, which is evidence of federal origin but not proof of authorship, since agencies also filed acquired and captured footage.
The record does not name a federal creating body, or names one alongside a private producer, a state body or a government corporation. Such a film may well be a government work, but this registry only says so when the record does.

National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569717 / Local Identifier 111-TV-458 Big Picture: History of Fire Power DVD Copied by Timothy Vollmer. HISTORY OF FIRE POWER TOLD ON "THE BIG PICTURE" -- "History of Fire Power" is the story of man's weaponry from the caveman's punch to the missile man's firepower. Recalling man's repeated assurance that the "ultimate has been achieved," the film goes on to show how he shrugs it off with a "maybe so." From the dawn of history, the developing art of war has been a story of the struggle of military men to extend the range and power of the fist - the struggle to make it bigger, more effective, more capable of delivering a knockout punch. The United States Army has that "knockout" punch. Its mission is the defense of our nation and the stakes are greater than ever before. Some of the many fine aspects of the film deal with the Army's programs of research and development which continue to improve today's punch and strive to anticipate tomorrow's. Only in that way can the Army fulfill its mission. Only in that way can it assure itself that whenever and wherever the need arises, our bigger, stronger fist can strike to win.
