A design known locally as the ‘Carlo’ has been used in attacks in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, for example. Luty’s designs are not the only craft-produced sub-machine guns to have proliferated, of course. Luty sub-machine guns can be found globally and have been documented with criminal groups in Australia, Brazil, Romania, Sweden, Ecuador, and the United Kingdom with terrorist organisations in Indonesia and used by an extremist individual in Germany. The design drawings prepared by Luty are still widely available on the internet today and have inspired numerous copycat designs from around the world. Also held in the NFC collection at the Royal Armouries (source: N.R. Figure 1.2 A second Luty craft-produced sub-machine gun, this one fitted with a craft-produced suppressor, seized from P.A.

Figure 1.1 A Luty craft-produced sub-machine gun seized from P.A. Other users have found these types of weapons appealing. Industrially manufactured small arms are not readily available, criminals and Use of unrifled barrels on such designs means that accuracy With other historical craft-produced firearms, these weapons may be subject toįrequent malfunctions if not built with sufficient skill. In any case, although Luty pattern weapons have appeared in other parts of the world (for example in Romania and Australia), criminals in the UK do not appear to have made any great use of them. Further, the manufacturer must also obtain quantities of suitable ammunition. For this reason, they require considerable skill to replicate successfully. Despite Luty’s label of ‘expedient’, his guns are in fact true ‘craft-produced’ weapons, replicating the features (if not the quality, accuracy or reliability) of an original-purpose firearm. In fact, they remain quite sophisticated pieces of engineering. Readers should not assume that Luty’s efforts have made homemade firearms easy to produce. As ARES Technical Specialist Jonathan Ferguson writes: Although the title suggests these weapons are easily made, their production still requires some knowledge and metalworking skill. His book Expedient Homemade Firearms gives detailed instructions on how to build the most widespread of these using readily available parts that can be purchased at a hardware store. Luty designed a number of craft-produced firearms, most notably four distinct sub-machine gun designs. As a form of political protest, Luty sought to widely disseminate plans for firearms. Whilst he did not consider himself an activist, he held strong beliefs in favour of universal firearms ownership and expressed these via his website and other platforms. Luty was a British designer of homemade firearms.
