Additionally, he's ghostwritten over a dozen titles for TV, radio, and stage celebrities.
Some of Long's technical manuals can be found in the private libraries of the CIA, US Marines, FEMA, the FBI's FTU (Firearms Training Unit), and other US agencies. Excerpts from his books and technical drawings have even appeared in US Congressional hearings.
As an illustrator Long has created cover and interior illustrations for HarperCollins, PS Publishing (UK), Byron Preiss/ibooks, Pocket Books, Fort Ross, American Media, Delirium Books, Ballistic Media, Mermaid Books, Swimming Kangaroo Books, and others. His artwork also appears in national magazines (including the Sun and Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine), and at Web sites and on CD covers.
Long's illustrations are noted for their often whimsical, dreamlike quality. Talk-show host Victor Thorn named Long one of the three "best graphic artists in the entire world." And the reviewer at 3D Millennium (M3 Corp., Inc.) wrote about Long's collected works, "To call him a prolific artist would be understatement, at best. Get yourself a snack and settle back while Duncan takes you on a wild ride through worlds only he has dreamt of."

5.0 out of 5 stars
Definitive guide to HK rifles and spinoffs,
By Robert Gonzalez (SoCal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hk Assault Rifle Systems (Paperback)
In the late 70's and early 80's, a new type of military unit was developed and refined to combat terrorism. During the Iranian emmbassy crisis in England, the world watched as black clad commandos stormed the building, each carring a radical new machine gun, different than anything anyone had seen. That was the HK MP5, a spinoff of the famous G3 rifle. Although the G3 and MP5 had been in production since the late 50's/ early 60's, the public had rarely seen or heard of these remarkable weapons. Soon they became the weapon of choice for counterterrorism units, SWAT teams, and other specialized units for close quarter combat, and long range sharpshooting. This is the best book availible for information on Heckler and Koch rifles, submachine guns, and general machine guns. Includes the history, development, and other facts about the G3, MP5, HK33, and any other variants, both in automatic and semi. Has information on the rare Vollmer conversions, sniper models, as well as information on accessories such as the HK69 grenade launcher and other rarities. Pictures are great, as are the descriptions of each of these weapons. The book does not have information about HK pistols, but I believe the author has written a separate book regarding them. If your a HK fan, a gun nut in general, or are just curious this is the book for you.

Like an Incomplete Brochure,
This review is from: Hk Assault Rifle Systems (Paperback)
This book is good as an introduction to the HK small arms but not as a definitive guide. There are key pieces of false information, poorly researched history and extended areas of rewritten H&K catalogs.
If you are fairly educated on Heckler and Koch small arms I do not recommend this book; there is nothing special in this publication.

HK assault rifle systems,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hk Assault Rifle Systems (Paperback)
I read this book, and it was helpful with all the HK assault rifles, subguns, and machine guns. If hit some of the assault rifles, but it more into the subguns, and machine guns. If you want a sub, or a machine gun, you may want to look at this!
