The Unhinged World of DIY Guns | Tales From the Bottle
Who needs a precisely machined firearm? The ammunition is where all the magic happens anyways…
“Improvised firearms (sometimes called zip guns, pipe guns, or slam guns) are firearms manufactured by an entity other than a registered firearms manufacturer or a gunsmith. Improvised firearms are typically constructed by adapting existing materials to the purpose. They range in quality, from crude weapons that are as much a danger to the user as the target, to high-quality arms produced by cottage industries using salvaged and repurposed materials.
Improvised firearms may be used as tools by criminals and insurgents and are sometimes associated with such groups; other uses include self-defense in lawless areas and hunting game in poor rural areas.”

this is silly and fun, but theres a small community of homemade gunmakers (gunsmiths?) on youtube who make sophisticated guns, that are safe and effective, as well as automatic guns

there comes a point when homemade guns become professional, like an individual can get better and better at it til its a real gun, or theres underground shops in countries that have banned guns that made sophistcated guns, with very limited machinary. theres lots of videos on youtube of amuteur gunsmiths with really well made guns, like fully auto too, god i sound like an idiot, i feel like how i felt when i was 10 on youtube, so much time spent online writing bad comments

ammunition is just a tiny percussion musket, and a gun is just a spring powered spear, a magazine might have 100 tiny muskets in it

Here in Wisconsin you can legally make your own guns and even Black Powder Gernades. But god forbid we make a Sawed Off Shotgun.

The haphazardly cobbled together DIY firearms from Argentina were particularly amusing to me, seeing as I'm half Argentine on my father's side and my father was a firearms instructor in the Coast Guard for 20+ years.

First off there is no explosion!!!!! The powder ignights and burns very quickly causing a rapid buildup of gases that expand and push the bullet out the case and down the barrel outside of a enclosed casing you can take any type of propelling for ammunition pile up a hill out of it and it just burns really hot and then nothing no boom sense there is no explosion the sound is from breaking the sound barrier primarily and a little bit of the action working and a d secondary the the project tile being freed from the casing

Crazy that they're trying to ban 3d printers in the US because "you might print a gun" when all it really takes is a hacksaw and two pipes… Not to mention plastic is not a suitable material for a gun barrel.

So on the weird two positions bolt one with no trigger. That’s just an open bolt pistol. It’s kinda weird they didn’t make a trigger for it because well all the trigger has to do is hold the bolt then drop the bolt.
Also for us Americans it’s completely legal to build guns as long as they fallow all state and federal laws.
