Overall the book is... OK. My copy arrived with the sacle drawings missing. On the pages where the drawings belonged were only arrows and mesurements. Some of the drawings were printed in the negitive, with the page black and the lines white. This would have prevented me from undertaking the project had I not found another resouce with the correct drawings intact. I printed the drawings and stappled them into the book.

this book talks of basics that you gan get in a nother book. he calls the gun a ar15 but it is blowback. its an alright gun, but it not an ar15 or m16. it may look like one but that is about it. and the auther hates the government becouse they dont use his guns.

Listen, this isn't foor some psuedo-anarchist looking to piece together a gun from a broom-stick, a pvc pipe, and an aerosol can. This is for those who /know/ about basic gunsmithing and have the tools to do so. Honestly, a SMG is a complex weapon. This isn't like a shotgun (which you can make fairly easily) or a muzzel-loading musket, it's complex and on the forefront of firearms technology. If you know about guns and HAVE THE TOOLS, this is an interesting resource. But if you aren't knowledgable about gun parts and function, and don't have the tools, don't bother. You'll just be lost. Honestly, complaining you were cheated because he didn't tell you you needed TOOLS to make a Sub Machine Gun. I'm sorry, but some people actually believe in using their brains in purchases. So, again, psuedo-revolutionaries should skip this. Stick to the poorly-written anarchist's cook book and leave the real tools to the big boys.


4 out of 5 stars The Only Holmes Book   February 14, 2005
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Just got the book this afternoon, not to shabby.
From a mechanical engineering designer's line of sight, this book is a nice contrast to his .50 Cal Disaster. Hand drawn doodles are ever present (Holmes has never heard of CAD) and are far from being up to ANSI or ISO standard drafting techniques. As with any quality firearm, you need access to a lathe and preferably a mill. The complete lack of tolerances and poor dimensioning are somewhat concerning. This is the only Holmes book that I might recommend. Acceptable step by step instructions. He does offer mag construction instructions but I would opt for Uzi mags. In order to construct this, one MUST beware of the laws and its consequences. All in all, not a bad read.

After buying and reading the book I realized that I need a lathe and milling machine to make the machine-gun. ! Lost my money. I think the author must let the visitors know about the "little fact", before buying.
