A historical and technical overview of the open-bolt 9mm submachine gun designed by Philip A. Luty. This resource details the crude, non-rifled, smoothbore design constructed from basic steel sheets, tubing, and hex screws. Included are analyses of its blowback operational cycle, single-stack magazine assembly, and its original legacy as a political protest against strict firearms.
Digital CAD files, STLs, and reference schematics for a 1:1 scale replica of the historical Luty homemade firearm. This package is optimized for educational modeling, historical preservation, or hybrid 3D-printing adaptations. It includes blueprint breakdowns of the receiver layout, bolt mass requirements, spring dimensions, and the improvised magazine assembly
