 You folks are morons September 17, 2006

I found this "How To" book while researching shop tools to purchase on Amazon. Hey morons, this stuff is ILLEGAL!
I hope the FBI / CIA and every government agency in the USA and elsewhere is keeping tabs on the purchasers and authors of this crap. Keep sending in those cards and letters so those of us with an ounce of sanity can keep track of you.
Something I am sure the author forgot to mention: "Please stare directly into the barrel when testing these products".

Making a homemade suppressor for anything larger than a .22 caliber weapon is foolhardy. I doubt the designs in this book would even be up to that task. The pressures exerted by modern guns is extreme and you risk serious injury trying to contain them with a "soda can silencer". Oh, and I forgot to mention that making one of these will land you 10 years in federal prison every time.
Not worth the paper it was written on May 23, 2005

I just got taken for 10 dollars(plus shipping and handling). Do not be conned by this author. This is the most worthless book i have ever read in my life. The author even says in his "Apology" that he has never made or tested any of these silencers. None of these designs work, and some of them are dangerous. The people who wrote a good review of this book are either the author himself or on his payroll. Don't let them waste your money like they did mine. If you are interested in silencers just look for info online, this book tells you nothing useful at all.
 good choice October 7, 2004

This book is a good choice for anyone who wants basic, easy to follow instructions on building a silencer. The pictures are good quality and the text is easy to follow. I much prefer this to Hayduke's silencer books. My one gripe is that some of the info is very similar, using a small change as a new design. So the book isn't perfect, but it's really close.
Excellent Improvised Designs May 6, 2002

This book is full of clear, simple but concise instructions on making working cans that McGuyver would be proud to put his name to.
It's the first time I've seen someone address the issue of securely attaching cans to various calibre firearms without having to cut a thread onto the end of the barrel. Plans cover .22 Ruger, 1911 style .45 (longer barrel required) & an SKS (7.62mm) power plinker , the information given should let anyone who knows their basic ballistics to apply the concepts given to all other calibres. All the parts required are clearly listed with lots of clear photographs of the parts, apart & assembled.
Parts are easily available at hardware stores &/or plumbing suppliers except for the "clog buster" no sign of it here in Oz (mail order a few from the US ,nothing illegal about them, bar applying the knowledge) No machining required in this book ,only simple hand tools & a battery/power drill are needed. Any good electrician ,plumber ,mechanic or similar handyperson should be able to make a lot of the designs from stock they already have.
Short but comprehensive section on why guns are so noisy & how to best shut them up ,an excellent book for beginners who want to visit a government re-education center for 5 years or quality info to fill in the gaps on the practicle side of things for people who have been studying the art of muzzle blast suppression for a while.
This book would let you easily figure out how to silence that 9mm SMG you built from PA Luty's , Expedient Homemade Firearms ;)
This book also stands head & shoulders above the drivel in "Silent but Deadly" by Hayduke.
I liked Workbench Silencers so much I bought the followup book More Workbench Silencers , review to follow......See section 89/14.4 in the US patent office or try No.s 3776093 , 3367055 for some other designs & theory.
