Homemade Guns that will make you Cry

Homemade or DIY guns come in all shapes and sizes. Intrepid basement-workshop gunsmiths try to make their own for various reasons.
These homemade guns sadly missed the mark completely. Don’t cringe when you look at these wonders. Would it shoot? Probably these homemade guns might have potential at the one foot range, but it can also go wrong for the user as well.

Duct tape may be one of the greatest invention because you can use it for many things like this and other guns…

-Who knows, this could be a prototype for Buck Rogers ghetto blaster…

-Taken by the police from the streets of Sydney, Australia. They say many have been showing up among low level criminals.

-An SHTF bug out bag from one of the warlords soldier in Nigeria. Looks cool huh?

-This homemade pistol was made by a Connecticut teen who charged $200 for this junk. Making money anyway you can.

I knew Quaker guns were deloyed at the siege of Vicksburg, but I didn’t know they actually used them.

Necessity is the mother of invention!

I would NOT, want to be around those GD things when they touched them off.

12 pounders? Screw that!

Thanks GD it! Now I will spend a portion of my time-which I should be using for my old farts nap, doing some research on these things.

There's a cannon in a museum in Nuremberg. The barrel is an iron pipe inside a split and hollowed log, secured with iron bands.

I don't know that it was ever fired.

The mere mention of the name American Shooting Urinal makes me cry.
