Summary: How To Build Military Grade Suppressors
Review: This review is for the new, revised edition of this book. The first edition of this book had older type designs that are now pretty obsolete. The new edition however, has designs that are very up-to-date. Probably they are the best that can be built without a fully equipped machine shop.

The amount of R&D that went into this book must have been enormous. The results speak for themselves though. If you can use a stick welder well enough to keep an arc going, and use a few other basic shop tools, you can build the suppressors in this book. There's even a complete and well done chapter on basic welding, and listings of what types of machines and materials you'll need.

The author has figured out a simple way to make an advanced baffle design that redirects gas flow and contains more sound. In rifle calibers, these easily measure up to many commercial designs in size and performance. Pistol calibers are trickier to work with, but those in this book work better than any other home built design as well.

My favorite unit was for the Makarov .380 pistol. It shows how to make an effective can that threads on, and also has a mount for a weapon light/laser. It also covers construction methods for about every weapon type you can attach a flash hider or muzzle brake to.

All in all, if you want a book on how to build the real thing, this is currently the best thing available by far and probably will be for a long time. Highly recommended.
