 purchase review September 2, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this book out of curiosity. Upon reading this book, I am not impressed. I am not an engineer, nor do I claim to be, But in my opinion,
there is no information in here that anyone who even knows what a suppressor is does not know already. I am dissapointed with my purchase and wished I bought other literature.
 Simple designs that work July 6, 2006
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
The designs in this book are simple, lo-tech, and surprisingly effective. Being a good do-it-yourselfer helps, as does a good assortment of hand tools (which if you don't own, you will end up owning by the time you finish the book). Some of the designs are open to improvement, and adaptation to other circumstances. Additionally, they can be adapted to what supplies you have available. It makes for interesting trips to hardware stores.
Remember safety first. Start with wide tolerances, which reduce effectiveness but increase safety. As your skills become more precise, reduce the tolerances. Oh, and of course, don't do any of it, because it is illegal.
Do a search.. September 29, 2005

You will be better off doing a search on the net. I will say this positive about the book...it proves anything can actually get published. If you spend a couple of hours on the net you could write a better book...
Elegant Designs April 6, 2005
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
The only criticism I have of this little book is that it was way too short; I wanted to see more of these elegant designs.
My favorite was the silencer for the Maverick 88 bullpup shotgun firing 575 grain subsonic slugs. With some aluminum tubing, sturdy PVC pipe and fittings, steel wool, and a clamp, the author puts together a heavy-duty silencer capable of withstanding and suppressing the blast of a 12-gauge shotgun. Although an easily-constructed "disposable" silencer, it has the lines of a professional model that was designed for that particular weapon.
I don't know what the other reviewer's problem is; anyone who knows anything about silencers can attest the soundness of these designs. (Maybe it's George Hayduke trying to disparage his competition!)
The books title aptly applies to the contents April 20, 2004

This book is mostly useless to anyone who has any knowledge of physics, or even has a hammer and hacksaw. The suppressor designs included are garbage, and some are even made from materials a person could find in the trash. It is not worth the money to buy this book, unless you want something to make you feel more secure about your own intelligence.
