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.
