Book Reviews of Zips, Pipes, And Pens: Arsenal Of Improvised Weapons
Book Review: interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very interesting book on homemade firearms.Many are truly ingenious.It shows a wide variety from Zippo lighters converted to guns to belt buckle guns reminiscent of the show "Wild,Wild,West".It offers many photos as well as some diagrams.It also tells you which ones didn't work as well and the hazardous results of trying to use them.If in a truly desperate situation this book could easily assist you in building a workable firearm from very basic materials.Probably very popular with Guerilla types.
