 Outstanding account of how to build a gun in a hurry. May 6, 2005
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
Full marks to Mr Luty for this excellent book. He succeeds entirely in describing how to build a simple machine gun using basic and commonly available tools and materials, and this makes for a great academic source for understanding the realities of what a "firearm" really is & how counterproductive extreme firearms laws can be. Would this book exist if the UK laws weren't so ridiculously excessive? Not according to the author.
The project is clearly minimalist & therefore won't entirely satisfy those who want a paint-by-numbers approach to a beautifully finished weapon, but that's nothing that a little imagination, Gun-Kote finish & some wood or resin grips wouldn't resolve.
My sympathies to the author for the harsh price he is paying for completing this book. He was jailed for being in possession of the gun that he built, & after his release he published the www.thehomegunsmith.com website (presently offline) for which he is currently being charged with "conspiracy to supply firearms" by the police (as of Feb 2005; see http://www.ncc-1776.com/tle2005/tle313-20050403-02.html).
I'm sure we used to have the right to free speech over here in England because I read it somewhere. Or was that banned as well?
Best book on really improvised weapons ever. True. Why? October 17, 2004

On this amazing volume, you'll find the most fascinating book on the subject that, really, tells it all. Don't get me wrong: I have all the books from Master Gunsmith Bill Holmes, as well as anything on the subject of home-building firearms. But be sure you'll need a complete small shop at least to make even a single-shot falling-block pistol or rifle. No place for amateurs there. But there are times when "Average Joe" need combat weapons to survive in bad times. I have seen it before. I'm a former special-operations officer with 16 years of service in my country's intelligence agency (something like a "mix" of CIA/FBI/Secret Service, now defunct), and I have done years of overseas "contractor" work... I've been in five major guerrilla wars (Angola, Mozambique, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Lebanon), and alt. I had previous experience with all kinds of land-warfare weapons, sometimes you need a gun and can not get one, even in a land in War. Old warriors never die (they only go to Hell to regroup), and I even ask some "insiders" on contrating me to work in Iraq, earlier this year, as a "security advisor", but they find me too fat & unfit to be of use in there... a close friend, former Royal Marine and veteran of Northern Ireland and Malvinas/Falklands, who lived in another big town here, go there, and now is doing what he was trained for... and alt. in all wars we once fought we can get any ammount of firearms, ammo, support weapons, you name it, there was a lack of combat weapons to the common citizens there, who are not a "Soldiers-of-Fortune" like I was. If I had this amazing book with me on "my wars" back in the '80's, I could have helped hundreds of indigenous guys survive "their" Wars,and so I could have done things in a better, faster, more funny way, if you can get what I'm talking about. I love the idea of making weapons with simple, common, cheap tools & parts, weapons that can be a life-saving tool in dark times. Be sure that these cheap guns are as capable in short-time combat as the most expensive military guns ever avaiable and they are at anyone's reach - even without any experience in this field. If you want real weapons, this is the book for you. This book tells all the "secrets" in a way it CAN be put into practice. It's author is a Paladin of Freedom. Buy this book - you'll love it!
a great book July 31, 2004

i have read the other reviews on this book and i must say that i agree with most of them... however i did read one that said something about mr.Luty not giving enough information on the finish work of this gun, and to that i have to say"its an expedient firearm for self defence in areas where you otherwise would not be able to procure a gun legally or for within your budget! its not supposed to be the most beautiful piece around, its just supposed to reliably spray lead!" sheesh i dont know about anyone else out there but the last time you were in a situation that called for a real need to use a firearm, did you stop to show your attacker the detailing on your grip? i reccomend this book wholeheartedly to anyone, and especially to those in need. ANYONE COULD BUILD THIS GUN IF THEY TRIED! and if you say that it cant be done, then you're a lazy retard!

This book is the best i have read on the subject of homemade firearms. It is written from the standpoint that no gunsmithing supplies are available.The gun is constructed from tubing and hardware products with a good deal of inginuity and inventivness. If you are interested in homemade fireams this is the book. I can also recommend the authors website,which is well worth a look at www.thehomegunsmith.com.
