WeaponsEverybody talks about real firearms and stuff, but if there would
come the worst case scenario where you would really need firearm but still
you don't have any or can't find any. Here is something that somehow easy
to make with right tools and little bit of skill.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Home-made Marble Shooting Air Gun



Description:
Air guns are normally small air powered rifles that shoot relatively small projectiles,
primarily used for target practice. Usually, they are pumped up with an internal cylinder,
activated by hinging the barrel towards the stock. My home made air guns experiments
however take their lineage more from potato gun technology than target practice rifles.

The nice thing with an air gun like this of course is that it can be used to shoot all kinds of
stuff. AA batteries, for example. Or Pens, or sticks of wood. Or filling the barrel with water.

Handmade Pistol


Description: Note that this is from the diary of the maker of this weapon.
few days ago I finished making a twenty two caliber pistol. This took me a long time,
for a year and a half, thereby preventing me from working on some other projects I
would have liked to carry out. Gun works well and I get as much accuracy out of it as
I'd expect for an inexperienced pistol shot like me. It is equipped with improvised silencer
which does not work as well as I hoped. At a guess it cuts noise down to maybe one third.
This weapon was remade with info how to make this with crude tools and some
improvised materials in 2 weeks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Automatic home-made weapons:
Here is some auto-self made weapons. With the right info and improvised materials
making of the would take about 1-6weeks depending to the skill of the maker.


Comment: Small but effective this weapon has one con: Its not very reliable and jams easily. Easy to make though.


Comment: One-hand held burst-weapon. Somehow reliable but one con: easily overheated.
If you have tools to mold metal or materials similar to the right ones making of this weapon
can take very long time.


Comment: This heavy but effective weapon is pretty hard to make but if you can make
it you will be rewarded with great accuracy, reliability and range.


Comment: Similar to the AK-47 as it uses 5.45mm bullets, it has same tech as AK but this
one is quite more modifiable as you can fit a silencer into it! During Z-Day this is somehow
good thing because if you're spying a horde and get attacked from behind using this
wouldn't alert the whole horde.

Air-Powered weapon:

Comment this is very simple air powered firearm. It has "Classified"
tech inside that pipe and it can be used to shoot old batteries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS: If you see and self-made FIREARM that wasn't mentioned in here, put it
here. I would
be thankful.
And by the way comment please.

Here are the very basic plans for a CO2 cartridge cannon/gun.

Go to your closest hardware store and buy several feet of copper/steel/durable
plastic tube/pipe and one cap for the end.
Find a store that sells CO2 cartridges (the small brass ones, usually found at
bicycle stores and occasionally airsoft/paintball stores) and buy as many of those as
you can (just make sure that they fit in the pipe that you bought).
Go home and put the cap for the pipe on one end of the pipe (where else?), cut a small
notch (this should be the size of a nail or a bolt) in the end of the pipe that you put the cap
on, make sure that the hole aligns up well with the little protrusion from the cartridge
(the little part that is about a quarter of an inch across, it usually has a screw threading)
when you put that in there.

After doing the above get a nail or bolt that will fit in the hole that you made, figure out
some way of connecting the bolt/nail to the pipe (you don't want it to go flying into your
face when you hit the cartridge with it).

Now have someone hold the barrel of the contraption while you hit the bolt/nail with a
hammer, with the proper effect, the cartridge should go flying out of the front end of the
barrel with enough force to puncture/shatter a zombie skull at close range (making it a lot
easier to beat it in with a baseball bat or something) or have some stopping power at a
bit longer range.
I will try to have some basic diagrams of this up soon so that you can get a bit better
idea of what this really looks like.



Home made gun turret:
What? Don't have a gun turret for your vehicle? Then take a sniper rifle,AK-47,etc. and
duct tape or nail it to the roof or back of the vehicle.

THIS WEAPON IS UNTESTED AND DANGEROUS! DO NOT POINT AT HUMANS
(UNLESS UNDEAD) ANIMALS OR ANYTHING OF VALUE. DO NOT BUILD THIS
UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER WEAPONS AT HAND.
