Despite the tech-cool factor of the project, Tom’s Hardware does not condone making your own weapons system at home.
Despite the tech-cool factor of the project, Tom’s Hardware does not condone making your own weapons system at home.
Reminds me of a time when I went to a maker space open house, and they were showing all kinds of cool stuff, including fairly advanced 3D printers for time. They mentioned there was programming to halt prints of things like gun parts, so it would be very hard to make guns using them. I commented, “Besides, you can make better ones in the metal shop in the other room.” He replied, “Yeah! <brief pause> No!”
People have been making versions of zip guns forever.
Four Winds Shotgun is a good thing to know about. I don’t think you even need a machine shop.
Is that the sliding pipe gun? I think all you need is materials, a hack saw, and a drill. But with a machine shop, the materials list is just steel and some springs, and you can have a gun as good as any we had prior to the last century.
