In the event of a societal breakdown this is a simple DIY gun you can build yourself from pieces found or purchased at a hardware store.
If you can imagine a national emergency, societal breakdown, military law, national confiscation or natural disaster when firearm access has been prevented or denied, you can also imagine having to build guns on your own. Well, here’s a SHTF weapon that you can make from hardware store items.
And if nothing else, it's a practical and fun hack in upping your McGyver skill, and improving your SHTF know-how. By the way, please, ignore the political statements at the end of the video. We chose this video strictly because of its gun-building content. Anyone build something like this? See the footage here.
At that range I would go with a knife over a one shot firearm with no sights. Just my .02
A 2016 version of the 1968 high school zip gun!!
like I just happen to have some 22 scrap barrel on hand...
My local Home Depot does not sell spare .22 barrels that they just happened to have laying around. I don’t think they sell CNC milling machines either.
Ghost 1911:
desktop cnc milling machine - $300
~$200 in bits, and clean up tools
http://www.cncguns.com/projects/1911a1frame.html
+ aluminum block
+ several hours and milling
= 1911 frame
add parts, slide, barrel and grips and you have a fully functional 1911 that is unregistered and legal to own .... as long as you can legally own the gun, do not transport across state lines, and do not ever transfer to anyone else.
Some parts can also be milled but you should really buy a barrel. Lots of stress on the barrel and a bad barrel can cost you a finger, a face or a hand.
The little milling machine I’ll look into.
If you have a welder and CNC machine sitting around, you could probably make a real gun, eh?
If you are building a gun after society falls, you are doing it wrong.
And during that societal breakdown wht TSHTF we can all wander down to our local ACE hardware....
bkmk
You won’t be milling 1911 frames and slides or barrels with a 300 desktop machine.
In the event of a societal breakdown you should already have stockpiled real guns and ammo.
bump to find later.
In a way no one else can get to them, btw. Potentially boobytrapped too.
Not so. It’s perfectly OK to sell it to someone else, so long as you’re not doing it in quantities that would suggest it’s actually a business or even a hobby business. Course why would you ever sell it in the first place, right?
Well we want to get to them. :-)
Well,sure. But you’d be the ones setting it all up.
LOL!!
