When flintlocks were invented they rapidly replaced arrow weapons, for good reason. A shotgun is a very useful hunting weapon. Nowadays, quality seamless steel tube is available everywhere, from motorcycle fork tubes to hydraulic pipes on diggers. RE: 8 shot prinatable hand gun - Skean Dhude - 28 November 2015 Like everything in life it is easy if you know how. They still make weapons, including guns, in prisons. If they can do it there with a limitations that they put in place then it must be easy outside. If you know how.

A shotgun is a very useful hunting weapon. The Matchlock replaced the bow and arrow and it's arguably easier to make than a flintlock, there was at least one other before the flintlock but memory/ old age fails me (I'm open to correction) I could google it but too lazy too this evening . I'm not going to argue against the shotgun being a useful/effective weapon nor against it being a useful/effective hunting tool, spread of shot increases your chances of hitting a smaller target but and this is quite a BUT I bet it's not as easy to make as you'd think. If you decide to make a flintlock for shits and giggles I'd be greatly interested in a follow along thread on the project.

I live in the UK, so unless I fancy a 5 year stay in Her Majesty's hotel a DIY flintlock is not going to happen. RE: 8 shot prinatable hand gun - T-oddity - 29 November 2015 if you can get your hands on the cartridges a diy shotgun is frighteningly easy to make when you know how, not necessarily safe for the user to fire though! |
