Almost any handyman with access to a drill press, a hacksaw, and some files can produce a submachine gun in a few weeks, and, once made, guns can last forever. Ammunition is another matter—a realization that has not escaped the gun-control activists. (You didn't really think that the gun grabbers would keep their greedy little paws off your ammunition, did you?)
Most people don't know the first thing about the chemistry of making smokeless powder. And even if you do, where do you get the components for your gunpowder? There may come a time when you can't just walk into a drugstore or chemical supply house and ask for it. What about reloading cartridges—how much do you really know about it? What do you do if there are no bullets available? Do you know what brass can be reused safely and what can't? What about primers? And why can't you just stock up now while it's still legal to buy and own cartridges?
Homemade Ammo answers all these questions and more. Duncan Long, who firmly believes that the most important tool for keeping yourself armed and ready to defend yourself is between your ears, provides all the technical know-how you need to manufacture your own rifle, pistol, or submachine gun ammunition from scratch. For academic study only.
Duncan Long is an internationally recognized nonfiction and fiction writer of countless books and magazine articles on weapons and warfare. He is a best-selling Paladin author, with more than 20 firearms manuals in print.
