PIPE OR "ZIP" GUNS
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Commonly known as "zip" guns, guns made from pipe have
|
|
been used for years by juvenile punks. Today's Militants
|
|
make them just for the hell of it or to shoot once in an
|
|
assassination or riot and throw away if there is any danger
|
|
of apprehension.
|
|
|
|
They can be used many times but with some, a length of
|
|
dowel is needed to force out the spent shell.
|
|
|
|
There are many variations but the illustration shows the
|
|
basic design.
|
|
|
|
First, a wooden stock is made and a groove is cut for
|
|
the barrel to rest in. The barrel is then taped securely to
|
|
the stock with a good, strong tape.
|
|
|
|
The trigger is made from galvanized tin. A slot is
|
|
punched in the trigger flap to hold a roofing, which is
|
|
wired or soldered onto the flap. The trigger is bent and
|
|
nailed to the stock on both sides.
|
|
|
|
The pipe is a short length of one-quarter inch steel gas
|
|
or water pipe with a bore that fits in a cartridge, yet
|
|
keeps the cartridge rim from passing through the pipe.
|
|
|
|
The cartridge is put in the pipe and the cap, with a
|
|
hole bored through it, is screwed on. Then the trigger is
|
|
slowly released to let the nail pass through the hole and
|
|
rest on the primer.
|
|
|
|
To fire, the trigger is pulled back with the left hand
|
|
and held back with the thumb of the right hand. The gun is
|
|
then aimed and the thumb releases the trigger and the thing
|
|
actually fires.
|
|
|
|
Pipes of different lengths and diameters are found in
|
|
any hardware store. All caliber bullets, from the .22 to
|
|
the .45 are used in such guns.
|
|
|
|
Some zip guns are made from two or three pipes nested
|
|
within each other. For instance, a .22 shell will fit
|
|
snugly into a length of a car's copper gas line.
|
|
Unfortunatey, the copper is too weak to withstand the
|
|
pressure of the firing. So the length of gas line is spread
|
|
with glue and pushed into a wider length of pipe. This is
|
|
spread with glue and pushed into a length of steel pipe with
|
|
threads and a cap.
|
|
|
|
Using this method, you can accomodate any cartridge,
|
|
even a rifle shell. The first size of pipe for a rifle
|
|
shell accomodates the bullet. The second accomodates its
|
|
wider powder chamber.
|
|
|
|
A 12-gauge shotgun can be made from a 3/4 inch steel
|
|
pipe. If you want to comply with the gun laws, the barrel
|
|
should be at least eighteen inches long.
|
|
|
|
Its firing mechanism is the same as that for the pistol.
|
|
It naturally has a longer stock and its handle is lengthened
|
|
into a rifle butt. Also, a small nail is driven half way
|
|
into each side of the stock about four inches in the front of
|
|
the trigger. The rubber band is put over one nail and
|
|
brought around the trigger and snagged over the other nail.
|
|
|
|
In case you actually make a zip gun, you should test it
|
|
before firing it by hand. This is done by first tying the
|
|
gun to a tree or post, pointed to where it will do no
|
|
damage. Then a string is tied to the trigger and you go off
|
|
several yards. The string is then pulled back and let go.
|
|
If the barrel does not blow up, the gun is safe to fire by
|
|
hand.
|
|
|
|
You should not attempt to register such a gun.
