This book does show you how to build a silencer, however I was hoping for a bit more. I does not go into the detail of how silencers work, neither are the designs any good. I have, with my limited knowledge designed and build better suppressors than this. What a disappointment! If it weren't for the fact that the book took so long to reach me (our mail service in SA is pretty slow) I would have asked Amazon for a refund. For anybody half serious about silencers total waste of money!

This review is from: How to Build Practical Firearm Suppressors (Paperback)

The suppressors in this book aren't the kind you'll want to take with you to a war or anything. But if you're just an experimenter and want to try some homemade suppressors to play around with, these are better than most anything else in the same category.

Most of them are made with PVC and other types of tubing, and rubber plumbing caps. Pretty good ideas for putting them together too, and they work effectively and for quite a while.

It also has a couple designs that involve some welding, but if you're able to weld, you'll want the new book by this author. Those ones are awesome.

Still, if you're just looking for a new toy for your gun, or something to quietly pop bunnies with, these will work fine for that, at least as well as anything in any similar book, and better than the vast majority. It would be my first choice for this type of book.
