[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The improvised weapons thread (Page 1 of 3)
Posted: 5/10/2009 11:29:11 AM EDT

This thread is for the posting of improvised, home-made, or jerry-rigged weaponry intended for actual use. It can be anything from a zip gun to a weapon that has been repurposed in a bizarre, but usable, fashion.
Let's kick this thread off! 
The degree of sophistication and ingenuity involved in some of these is amazing. |

Quoted:
those "rocket launchers" have to be for show there is no way they are functional. You obviously are unfamiliar with the activities of the IRA and various South American and Middle Eastern terrorists/rebels/etc. They're home made, they work, and they DO see use as offensive weapons. They're nowhere near as effective as commercially manufactured weapons issued to the military, but they'll still kill you just as dead. Paladin Press has a couple books on building your own recoilless rifle or bazooka (you can scale it down to a hand-held model or make a towed/vehicle-mounted one that is quite a bit larger). Including instructions for fragmenting anti-personnel shells and shaped-charge "anti-tank" shells for them. Again, not as effective as an AT-4 or RPG-7, but they'll still fuck shit up. |

Quoted: See what people do when Government takes away their weapons and forces them into a communist lifestyle. Edit:.....I'll be making a kick ass flame thrower. That I now know how to make as of today. Yup... Banning guns will just mean people will start building RPGs, grenades, and full autos. If you're going to be a criminal... might as well go all out. |

Quoted:
WTF is that? Is he using a rock as his hammer? It'll work, but jeez, dude, can't you cob together some kind of spring-powered whacker? Your accuracy will be shit! Tho to be fair, A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE (certainly I would never do such a thing) once did something quite similar. Length of 3/4 cast iron pipe, a cap, shotgun shell, hole in the cap, piece of pointed rod, hammer. Prop it in a tree, whack the pointed rod, hilarity ensues.

what surprizes me are the grenade fuses. the 22 and 12 ga. are pretty simple. There's a kid on youtube who makes firearms out of paper. Fully-functional firearms. From paper. The only metal parts are the springs and the firing pin. He made a perfect reproduction of a Mauser K98 from fucking paper, loaded it with a blank cartridge, and used it to launch a pencil across his backyard and embed it in the wooden fence. He also made a functional WWII potato masher grenade. One design had a spring-loaded firing pin activating a percussion cap that ignited the fuse, the other had a friction fuse like the real German grenade did. His idea was to load them with M-80's and airsoft pellets for use in airsoft games. Anyone who wanted to could easily fill it with real explosives and install a fragmentation sleeve or metal BB's and make an improvised frag grenade. I also have instructions for making ammunition using strike-anywhere matches as both primers and propellant. All you need are bullets and spent brass. And there was a big thread on Arfcom about turning spent .22lr brass into jackets for .223 bullets, allowing you to make your own FMJ ammunition out of .22 brass and some soft lead. Man's ingenuity when it comes to building weaponry is nigh limitless. |

There some other vids by a guy in some shithole country making guns in his basement. Very crude, but the guy does them 100%. Makes cartridges out of curtain rods, etc. Have nothing in the way of range as his "barrel" is just a tube, no rifling and not very tight. But he shoots several dozen rounds a second with it. Will look for the vid. |

I saw the genius of the kid mentioned and it was amazing some of what he created.. I kept his links for a long time on my youtube page but over time certain of his videos were removed.. Especially the ones showing how to make a shape charge/Claymore... I don't know why they were removed ...only that one day they were there and the next day..POOF!

I call BS on the dude making "paper" guns. Moving pictures don't lie. You think he is making them all out of paper? Does he have a video showing him making somethig other than a tube from paper? In his one AK video you can see what looks like a "wooden" grip wrapped in paper mache(SP) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd5uIdWvqeE&feature=channel |
