Jul 19 2010, 4:05 PM EDT
i have infact have heard a few people know how to make home made shotguns more like small canons but still shotguns never the less still im pretty sure out of all fire arms ranging from pistols to rifles shotguns will probably be the most easiest to make but possibly the most dangerous but i bet it could be done wether or not you were just using a thick metal tube all the way to making simple break actions

The saving grace here is that you don't actually give any information about how one were to build one. If you want a gun you should go take lessons, get a proper licence and buy a real gun. You owe it to the people who would be forced to help you open doors for the rest of your life once you have lost your fingers and possibly eyes. Do you find this valuable? |

There are times that I don't trust certain guns that are factory built. I'm not going to try and go down that avenue unless it is absolutely necessary.

"True and while building a gun is pretty basic and easy to do if you do it wrong it's like cooking a hand grenade for 6 seconds... Not all factory guns are trustworthy either however there are guidelines as to who gets ****** over if you get ****** over due to a defective peice. Do you find this valuable? |

Theoretically you could make your own submachinegun at home, the only question is... How smart is that? I've seen a brand new single shot shotgun (Cheap cheap Rossi with a plastic stock) for $99, so just go buy a gun.

If it was something you could pick up in five minutes, there would not be gun manufacturers: there would be gun parts manufacturers, and everyone would assemble their own. Clearly this is not the case, so the skills involved take a long time to achieve. Home-made guns are the quickest way to lose a limb, outside of riding an alligator when drunk.

However the DECADES of work is mostly mechanics based. A barebones shotgun/shotbomb only needs a handfule of things to succeed (succeed meaning: To ignite the powder). But the safety aspect is missing. You could wind up with a weapon that goes off in your hand when you activate the trigger mechanism. Or a weapon that can handle one shot and nothing more. I'm just saying that making a system to fire a shotshell isn't hard and doen't take decades. The mechanics, safety, fabrication instruction, and crafting do. Do you find this valuable? |

Please take the time to locate the period key on your keyboard. You know, this thing. That little dot. That goes on the end of your sentence. So people can understand what you're trying to say easier . . . . . . .. .. ........ . . . .. .. ... . .. . . ... ... ..... ... . . . . ... .. .......

When I was a kid I made a 20 ga shotgun out of an old trombone some pipe a nail , lead and a screen door spring.I used a piece of pipe for the barrel which was slightly oversized but I slipped in part of the trombone which shrunk it down so shell fit The barrel screwed into another pipe which was the reciever. I plugged it with a section of a big bolt about inch long with a hole down the middle For the bolt I used a section of trombone with a nail for the fireing pin and which was held in place with poured lead, the spring was attached to the bolt using the protruding nail head. By the use of a piece of wire the bolt was pulled back and a pin was put across the rear of the pipe holding it back. To fire it you just pulled it out I used it mostly as a set gun or cannon and just mounted it on a board using hose clamps I fired it probably 20 times always with light field loads never had any problems. Finaly a neighbor found it set in the woods and confiscated it Iv bought many good single shot shotguns for less then $25 so probably no reason to make one Do you find this valuable? |
