Product Information

You can leave the Pop-A 410 unfinished, “in the white,” or you can break out some Krylon, Duracoat, or even Cerakote if you feel fancy and coat it in a protective finish. In a very general sense, to make a zip gun you must first find some sort of tube with a method to seal the breach. The next step is adding some sort of firing mechanism and maybe even some way to hold onto the thing. A typical pen gun design. Notice the L-shaped cut. Photo: Wikipedia. The 20 gauge zip gun I made those long 36 years ago when I was a boy consisted of a piece of 2×4 pine board about 16” long upon which I strapped a piece of galvanized pipe about 20” long. The simplest zip gun design that one can make is a slam fire pipe gun, which uses a common metal pipe with a threaded end and a pipe cap. You tap a hole in the center of the pipe cap and put a nail in there.

All you would need then to make it a lethal weapon would be to obtain some 12 gauge ammunition and fire that rather than flares. But all of that is up to you. I can’t tell you what is legal or illegal in your country, that’s up to you to learn and it is up to you to decide what risks you are willing to take. Cut a notch (or two) at the same end so that you can get a grip on the spent casing and pull it out. While this was a fun project, it’s a bit expensive for what you get. It’s basically a slam-fire .410. You can walk away with the satisfaction that you built a firearm on your own. Plus, putting it together may provide a better sense of how firearms work, along with the pride we all get whenever we build something with our own two hands.

From the inside of the cap insert a 3/8” lag bolt and screw it into the wood rod. Pre-drill the rod with a pilot hole so it doesn’t split. Time will tell just how overreaching the new federal policy will prove and how it will affect legal gun owners. Until the rule is enacted, however, it is still in accordance with federal law for a nonprohibited person to build their own otherwise legal firearm using any means or methods that they wish, “buy, build, shoot kit” or not. Zip Gun Types Generally, a 12-18 inch (approx. 30cm - 45cm) piping bag will be suitable for medium to large cakes or surfaces. If you are doing smaller detail work, a 6 inch (approx. 15cm) piping bag should be sufficient.

I made one not because I needed a gun, or because I couldn’t afford a gun. Rather, I made one because it reminded me of when I was a young lad of 14 years of age and made a 20 gauge “zip gun”. Childhood Zip Gun I have another shotgun design coming soon that is a little more complex than this one. It is a single shot as well but it actually looks like a shotgun and has a trigger and hammer and everything! It takes a little more time to build, depending on your skill level, but it is worth it for a very effective hunting weapon. Disclaimer Reusable piping bag. These bags are usually made from canvas with a plastic inner lining and can be cleaned and reused again and again.

I was left with a horrifying metallic after taste and MY THROAT WAS BURNING THE REST OF THE DAY! VERY WORRYING! Extra care was taken to clean every bit of the gun prior to use as well.

In the past few years, a “do-it-yourself shotgun” kit has become popular, billed as a survival gun. It’s made by Runway Sub-Cal, a manufacturer known for producing rifled flare gun inserts to allow shooters to fire pistol rounds through 26.5mm flare guns. Essentially, they provide a barrel, firing pin, and an outer barrel sleeve; the rest of the pipe shotgun is built from steel pipe fittings. I was a bit hesitant going into this assignment, but read on and see why it’s important for a number of reasons. However, if I were to get caught out with it loaded with a shotgun shell I could face serious penalties. So make sure you have at least an 18” barrel, and at least 27” overall when you make yours. Make it go BangThe city of Denver likewise enacted such an ordinance. For those unaware, Colorado did away with its state preemption laws pertaining to firearms, allowing municipalities and jurisdictions (think parks department) to enact their own firearms laws. Gun laws in Denver, Vail and other cities are much more restrictive than in the rest of the state. Arturo Rodriguez in Diamond City sells a suppressed pipe weapon. Other mods are random on the suppressed pipe gun, but Arturo will always start the game with at least one silenced pipe gun making it advantageous for stealth players.
