anybody make any cool home made firearms?

[skyhawk1]

just wondering what all kinds of home made guns you guys have made. i have made a few different kinds of guns. i got a break open single-shot 12 ga shotgun and a couple other guns i need to finish building someday. i know there was a guy that went by the username of "unknown cat" on youtube that supposedly was from oklahoma and i loved watching his videos. he made a bunch of really cool interesting welded together guns. before 3-d printing was a thing i got into welding and got a welding licence just to be able to make guns someday and the only one i have really got around to making so far was a tig welded semi auto vmac9.

i like to lurk on the weapons guild

Does a mini cannon count? Shoots some hillbilly cast ~1300 grain slugs.

that counts by me. 1300 grains is pretty big. lol what is that, baseball or pool table ball size? bowling ball size? i thought about making my own cannon, just never could figure out how to get the barrel or make one.

No, I don't remember the exact bore diameter but is roughly 3/4 of an inch and we made the slugs about one and a quarter inches long. It was just a bored project one day, I would say it is good for minute of basketball at 100 yards.

The barrel is some very heavy wall chromoly tube and we just used black powder in it.

This is the slug that we dug out of a tree at about 100 or 150 yards. Obviously this is soft lead but it's still deformed pretty good and lodged itself in the tree so it was carrying pretty decent velocity too.

I made this canon a few years ago. I machined it from a large pump shaft. 16” barrel. About a 1 5/8” diameter bore. The canon balls were from large bearings. 800 gr. Of Pyrodex was the most I put in it. It had trouble blowing holes in a 8” diameter tree. Good times!

Not my work, I am more of the fixit guy.
But, the story of the sheet shovel turned AK

Turning a shovel into a AK -

Inspired by the infamous shovel-AK photo, a member of the Northeastshooters forum converted a $2 shovel into an AK rifle! The barrel is made from a $30 AK barrel blank. Boris did not bother machining it down to the standard AK profile, instead he just cut it down to 16.25″ in length and drilled...

If you are stupid enough to build a full-auto gun with the laws we have now, you deserve what you get. But it is perfectly legal to build semi-auto, revolving, lever, and single shot guns according to Federal law if allowed in your state's laws. Does an individual need a license to make a firearm for personal use? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

You can even build a Gatling gun, legally, so long as you don't motorize it. Hand-crank only.

And, if ANYone asks you to build them a Class 3 gun- or offers to sell you any, or modify one of your firearms into a hand-held ammo hose...it's a safe bet that THEY have already been 'payed a visit' by Entity.gov too. Tell them to go suck a SXS.
Hey; It happens. Just don't let it happen to you.
