The former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe has died, aged 67, after being shot while making a speech in the western city of Nara. ...

No. Just factual. Gun powder is a cinch.
One can clearly see the strikers on this picture.
One can see pipe caps on the one used.
This one looks like a much nicer design.
Dunno, I’m seeing a gap between the “pipe caps” and the body. I don’t know either way, I’m just posting that pic as some sources are reporting it as ‘similar’. I’m waiting to see higher resolution pics of the actual shooter’s gun in question and speculating in the meantime.
Have you ever actually tried to make gun powder or are you YouTube educated only? Or did captain Kirk give you that a recipe?
“Usually newbies attempting to make their own primers or gunpowder are a self-correcting problem, if you know what I mean.”
Gaza work accident?
Yup.
I got electric ignition of gunpowder to work, @50 years ago. I used small light bulbs and DC batteries to explode charges of gunpowder underwater. The filaments, without the glass, would flare, and fairly reliably ignite the gunpowder.
Plenty of fireworks readily available in Japan to provide a source for gun powder.
Based on the video, the first barrel nay have misfired/malfunctioned (noise, smoke, no apparent effect). The second barrel functioned enough to fatally wound Abe at that range.
The Lockdowns have not helped the mental health of the country.
Crazy incel with voices in head is on my short list.
Abe was liked by most and being Trump’s closest Ally in the G7, he HAS to go to the Funeral.
I predict this is going to be another pathetic fail for the Biden admin as they botch the funeral and Tump/Melania upstage whatever idiot hey send.
Never had call to make it, but read the Anarchist’s Cookbook long ago. It’s hardly a state secret.
There have been some reports that Abe was hit with both barrels’ loads. No telling if it fired but not at significant velocity - home made/mixed powder tends to be inconsistent.
Smells paid off or Manchurian Candidate possession.

Could be a homemade muzzle loader. Matchlock ignition. Powder can be made with sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal
Wonder if the Japanese have access to Estes model rocket motors?
I fired a home made shotgun once out of a tube when I was a Yute, just to see if I could.
I used Sodium Chlorate saturated paper towels that I ran through a dehydrator rather than black powder wanting to go 100% non-conventional. (mom’s oven, long story there, the second time didn’t end well) and let me tell you it could have easily killed a man, I used a rocket igniter to set it off remotely.
What is up with everybody wearing masks in Japan?
“Pack gunpowder into the back of a tube…”
I think you’re channeling Jim Kirk fighting the Gorn.
Ah. The Gorn.
Star Trek:Strange New Worlds has just revived the Gorn

A black powder shotgun doesn't require 'shells'.
