@@LostLinguine I have seen examples of home made forearms from around the workld and the majority of them I would consider more dangerous to the shooter than the target
I have the luck of living in Mexico in an area where there's a big presence of firearms, I am one of the few people in my town who knows how to make guns, and even though my .22lr pistol is very simple, it sure does show my friends and family members the amazing world of firearms, they don't see it as something bad, also there's no shortage of places to get ammo without a liscense, but it's because many people can't afford a liscense and want or have to go to hunt their own food, I wish I can one day start a firearms company to sell cheap rifles and shotguns for the farmers and all the people who live in the country-side.
Thank you. I feel the same way about hand held weapons and guns in particular. I love the art of mechanics and do not find weapons to be evil. Humans could be evil. I speculate that the talented artisans gunsmiths can not be evil- they simply do not have time for it, they are busy inventing and creating. I love them. I find it very rewarding to work with metal. I don,t care about shooting or riding my motorcycles. I marvel at the engineering complexity or simplicity…I marvel at the transcendental BEAUTY. I have a tremendous joy of being part of it. PS. I wish you luck in creating your company. Would like to see your work. Any link?
I've always thought they were interesting, just like someone would a car or something. The engineering that goes into them, the machine work, the mix of wood and metal and the skills involved in using them. It's also interesting to see how resourceful people can be, in whatever situation it may be, like prisoners of war making an escape, or people in poorer countries building a wind turbine out of garbage. So of course these are interesting as hell to me. But, living in the US, this sort of thing can be very misunderstood or make people nervous. They can be as uptight as they are nosy, and the laws are strict, and as cool as this is i never got to experiment with this. I would love to though. Maybe some day I'll move or work it out, at least, hopefully laws don't get more ridiculous than they already are. Because my understanding is that if you can buy it you can build it. But even the receiver kits and parts are expensive for me. It all makes it more interesting, I've had to improvise throughout my life, this would be the perfect challenge as i get older.
@@derealized797 my sentiments exactly. That,s why I work with easily accessible materials and tools( although I know lathe and mill) Apocalyptic steam punk style I find quite interesting: the restrictions of tooling and materials make a task or goal much more sweet. Engineering simplicity and economy are also restrictions of the game- make it even more challenging. But when you get there - it,s a Eureka moment!!! Ecstatic and fulfilling. Cheers. Thanks for visiting
@@STEINBVG i mean, where is it. Pakistan i think. These people who go into small metal sheds in the middle of nowhere, right. They make these damn near perfect copies of whatever firearms will pay off, and they do it entirely by hand, piece by piece. They don't get a lot of money either, it's more out of necessity, if you consider how long this must take. They even test them when they're finished, at their own risk. This reminds me of the extent that people go to make counterfeit everything in china. Amazing what people can pull off.
That toggle delayed Thompson is remarkable. I don't think I've seen anyone else use that mechanism. It's probably less reliable than regular blowback but it's definitely more cool from an engineering point of view.
Look at his channel, he shows it in details. I see no reason for it not to be reliable. You can,t use simple blowback on 45 caliber. Or the bolt should very big for closed bolt system. For open bolt it,s a bit smaller. But still heavy. He uses a clever version of toggle delay which is adjustable from the zero/ full lock at 180 degree knee joint to slightly less- with but a simple set screw. Very nice .
@@STEINBVG The Thompson, MAC-10, HK UMP, M50 Reising, M3 grease gun, Star Model Z-45, and Uzi are all direct blowback guns available in .45 ACP. Why on earth would you think you can't use blowback on .45?
@@Swindle1984 i am not saying you can not. I believe most of not all guns you refer to are machine guns or SMG, are heavy and /or big in size and can afford heavier bolts. Besides open bolt design reduces need for very heavy bolt due to momentum, but it still big. However in closed bolt operating hand guns or light rifles , a locking or delaying mechanism of some sort is better to be there for anything above 9 mm Parabellum. At least that what I have learned from a plethora of sources. I don,t know this guys gun,s weight, but some parts are plastic, his bolt and receiver seem light - he wisely went with toggle delay for 45. He seems to know what he is doing. Imho
@@STEINBVG The HK UMP is also closed bolt. .45 ACP is a lower pressure round than 9mm. His gun is the size and weight of an SMG. Your statement that you can't do blowback with .45 ACP was simply nonsensical. There is no need to justify his choice of a toggle action for his gun. It's cool and it works.
@@STEINBVGwell if you can come up with any some German words that might help are Klein =small Sturm =Storm Gewehr =Long gun Waffe = Arms (as in weapons) Sturmtomgewer Storm tom(as in tommy gun) gewer So storm tom gun Sorry my Germans not the best but keep in mind direct translations for made up names are hard but I do think it’s grammatically correct
Ah I was wondering where the sudden influx of views was coming from. Thanks for featuring my work! Making that toggle-delayed Thompson was my finest work, I think.
It was my honor and pleasure. I immediately recognized the beauty and had to share it with people. You deserve the recognition and traffic on your channel. Looking forward to your future designs.
Got to admit. That's quite a design. . Never even considered a toggle lock Thompson . Might Look into the Thompson auto rifle it was a kinda neat locking mechanism
I think everything this talented young man does is great. He builds a lot of different engineering projects. I believe he is an MIT student- that tells something
If I remember correctly, nearly all Maxim machine guns and Maxim-inspired machine guns used a toggle lock system. Only the Browning MG's and Hotchkiss MG's used different systems of operation...
You saw a lot of this kind of thing in the Yugo Civil War back in the 90's, when the country broke into a half-dozen pieces. Machine shops would make "standard" designs and produce 50 or 100 subguns of a unique design often combining elements of Stens, MP-40's and ppsh.
For anyone curious about these, or just gun design & gunsmithing in general. Please take a mental note that most of these designs are open bolt systems (meaning the bolt stays to the rear until the trigger is pulled). The main reason for this is because of the inherent simplicity and reliability that open-bolt systems provide (open-bolt designs also allow very easy and simple full-auto too). This is also how most WW2 era SMGs worked. Traditional closed bolt guns (like semi-auto pistols and most semi-auto rifles) need to chamber each cartridge from the mag, then keep it chambered until another mechanism hits the firing pin (hammer/striker usually), then they fire, eject the casing, rechamber the next round, and wait for the next trigger pull. Open-bolt systems don't need a complex hammer or striker mechanism, they technically don't even need a proper firing pin (just a small sharpish bump on the front of the bolt works, often called a "fixed firing pin"). In these systems the bolt just chambers a round from the mag and immediately fires it. Which results in ejection and blows the bolt backwards. At which point it will be caught by a small lip/edge (aka: the sear) connected to the trigger and held back until the next trigger pull. Alternatively if the bolt isn't caught by the sear it will just continue firing until the mag is empty or the gun malfunctions. Think of it like this, the trigger MAKES a closed-bolt gun fire, while on open-bolt guns, the trigger just prevents it from firing until pulled. Because there are fewer parts in open-bolt guns, there's also less to go wrong. This makes the design and their construction much easier. There is less to malfunction or break, and also they require less precision to build. Technically open-bolt bolt guns need extra parts to be semi-auto (without a disconnect mechanism, between the trigger and sear, the gun will fire full-auto until the trigger is released). While closed-bolt guns need extra bits to fire full-auto. First, a part to repeatedly drop the hammer/striker once the bolt is closed, and they generally also need a mechanism to prevent dropping the hammer/striker UNTIL the bolt is fully closed (though these functions can technically be combined into 1 complex part, usually called an auto-sear). The big downside to open-bolt guns is their accuracy and lower safety. Because that heavy bolt needs to move before the gun shoots it can throw off precision shots & because the gun WANTS to fire immediately it can accidentally fire significantly more easily. Basically if you drop an open-bolt bolt gun it can fire, even uncocked (if the bolt bounces open enough to pickup a cartridge, or if it's already cocked a drop can knock the bolt off of the sear). If you don't pull the bolt back far enough to catch the sear while cocking it, then it will also load and fire a round. Closed bolt guns are more common as modern military and civilian rifles/pistols because of their higher safety and accuracy. But that comes at the cost of being more complex and expensive to design and build.
These are absolutely stunning! What great pieces of art, I envy you. I'm still at school, I'm making gun replicas out of wood and am trying to replicate all the different mechanisms, adapt them for toys and try to create unique models based on antique examples of wierd mechanisms such as yours. But they banned me from making them and some classmates even stole and broke some of my projects. I hope one day I can express myself in this artform just as you do. There is too much stigma around it.
This video credits go primarily to others, but I have my share of builds on my channel . You can do this art and stay legit. Learn from people on UA-cam- that,s how I did. Good luck.
I completely agree about the stigma, if you think about it most repeater firearms like auto or semi auto, work on similar principles to combustion engines. They are all designed to achieve the same goal but the mechanisms vary and it's hard not to appreciate the creativity of the designs that people have developed over the course of history. Not to mention there are some amazing single shot firearms from over a hundred years ago, with some absolutely beautiful mechanisms, I saw one on a video that had a sort of spiral breech plug, very similar to the Ferguson rifle but operated above rather than below the action. 😍
These work better than some of the $1000-$4000 dollar firearms I have bought over the years! Nothing but respect for the skill the creators of the fine Firearms have. Always Respect Skill and talent to create!
Some of these look like finished items of an acceptable quality and are quite impressive, I like seeing some parts that are nicely machined and also i like the forthought and effort put into the finish of the gun as a whole, it's cool enough for me to potentially take a look at getting the skills and licensing requirements to do this myself legally, I'd love to be able to make a finely crafted firearm from scratch, all the wood stock and scroll work too. It would be fantastic.
These are much better examples of homemade and perhaps semiprofessional weapons i found on the web full of very poorly designed amateur attempts. Some look commercial as they carry markins
That toggle lock Thompson style gun is a work of art. It's a shame there's not a lot of toggle lock guns on the market anymore. Such a cool operating system.
YES. This dude to me was like a gulp of fresh air. New is frequently forgotten old. I don;t get tired to advertise his skills- on his channel he offers the blue prints i think
Came for the alleuring title, stayed for the awesome looking designs, but was left shocked by the fact that a bucket of fabric is able to stop a burst of rounds lol
Thanks. I believe it has been self perpetuating myth about 22 ammo. With optimal design it,s absolutely reliable. I hate to brag, but my Gevarm and Voere, open bolt sporting rifles are’ garbage disposals ‘ for any ammo. They have never misfed, misfired or misejected.

Thank you. These masters deserve more exposure and recognition- their channels are are tiny even comparing to mine. I am glad to redirect people to them
The last guy, apparently an MIT student is a mechanical prodigy. I believe he offers the plans on his site under 'About' . To me he is the most impressive, but his designs require more complex equipment- lathe, mill, 3d printer. Thanks
Those were made with some serious tooling. definitely needed mills and lathes, don't know what sort of heat treatment was applied to the individual parts (if any at all), finish looks clean on many of those like the toggle-locked Thompson lookalike with barely any marks from milling left, so someone definitely put not only time, effort, decent metalworking skills but also took pride in what they're doing. Firearms should be legal for every law-abiding citizen.
You are mistaken. You can build these in the us today with the right license though they cant be sold to people, especially those asking how to make them. Those watching this video, i mean . The ones who believe in monkey see, monkey do who intend to run out and make them.
Started my journey of creating. And i love it but i often get confused. Im working on single action but I dont have much tools like profeccional ones. What do you think?
I use rudimentary tools: drill press, grinder, Dremel, belt sander, files, hack saw. Indeed it would be easier with more sophisticated and specialized equipment. But who cares?
None of the guns in this video are my creations, I simply shared these great examples I had discovered. They all great. If you are referring to a single shot pistol on a pillow - yes , it,s a great professional design. I have made a similar gun with much simpler technology and materials. Thanks
As an American, this is truly amazing, ive seen "Home-made guns" before that look, work, and fire like shit, but this is someone who took the time to design and create something, you can tell he loves his craft.
What are these bullet buckets I keep seeing around these channels. I get the cloth is for sound absorption, but what is catching the rounds? Sand? A plastic goo?
Pretty damn awesome when u can make ur own firearms. Do you buy barrels around made? If not and u make them bout do u get the turns in the barrels? Do they fly straight?
@@waddney4121 not better- simpler…and heavier . Straight blow back requires more massive bolt and or more heavy spring . The delay or locking mechanisms make hand held high caliber weapons much more comfortable to operate. Indeed handguns below 9 mm caliber are rarely need locking or delaying mechanisms
The first one was awesome, I plan to make one like that, but I want a nine millimeter. That design , I believe, gives you more room for the trigger and moving parts, and somehow better ease of loading and expelling the bullets. You know, the one with the magazine in front of the trigger.
Nice, very clever!, I was in the army and used a lot of different types of fire arms but these are clever and no doubt effective but how on earth do you learn these skills?, and trust me it is a skill!!.
I have learned by reading and watching such videos. Bikes and guns. There has to be some mechanical basis or talent . And/ or one can be hands-on trained. With various success. All these guys are naturally talented. The last guy is an MIT student. That means something.
Only a matter of time now until batteries and capacitors get to the point that coilguns are just as deadly and even more unbannable than firearms already are. Maybe that's a moot point when there's already firearms, but on the other hand it's easier to explain and understand. At some point a critical mass of people will just *have* to admit you may as well just have legal guns already, it's the only way to guarantee there'll be a GGWAG when it matters.

Thanks. I hand picked I believe very cool samples from the net. There is a crapload of extremely poor and dangerous designs I don,t care about.
Excellent, you are very talented. The toggle action is Great ! Keep up the good work.
Yes. The guys who built these are.
Love it absolutely wonderful seeing such craftsmanship! 😊
Glad you enjoy it!
That toggle lock Thompson style gun is a work of art. It's a shame there's not a lot of toggle lock guns on the market anymore. Such a cool operating system.
YES. This dude to me was like a gulp of fresh air. New is frequently forgotten old. I don;t get tired to advertise his skills- on his channel he offers the blue prints i think
Locking system. "Operating system" is, approximately, the "unlocking" system.
These designs are so wacky! I love it! Especially the toggle delayed guns.
Yes. They all are cool.
Will you take apart each weapon to show us how it works in detail? Would be very interesting!
Not my weapons. See in the description the links to the gunsmiths. They may have more details on their channels.
Thanks for the post.
Brilliant, beautifully made firearms.
@@lesgamester7356 thank you
Some of these are 'Ramos' designs. He had line illustrations of his designs published in the 70's - 80's. Interesting to see.
Thanks. Any links?
@@STEINBVGmaybe in scribd. Query 'Automatic and concealable firearms volume(x)' something should come up.
Came for the alleuring title, stayed for the awesome looking designs, but was left shocked by the fact that a bucket of fabric is able to stop a burst of rounds lol
I have seen them use it all the time, including with 9 mm.
You do damn good work, it's not easy a reliable Rimfire fully automatic! Well done!
Thanks. I believe it has been self perpetuating myth about 22 ammo. With optimal design it,s absolutely reliable. I hate to brag, but my Gevarm and Voere, open bolt sporting rifles are’ garbage disposals ‘ for any ammo. They have never misfed, misfired or misejected.
@STEINBVG no I don't mean the ammo is unreliable, I mean 22 full automatic can be an issue not always obviously.
Dude the ejection of the casing for that flapper locked 9 mm is so sick in slo mo
Yes
GENIUS...😮
I feel the same way about those creative guys, especially the last one.
The "single shot semi auto" is a pretty neat idea.. Seems like a fun, Legal way to play around with Open bolt designs.
@@samsham8218 yes
блин !! как все изящно и продуманно !! прекрасно что можно осуществлять планы из детства ...легально :)
залип на весь вечер у вас на канале , особенно понравилсся вот этот ПА , пдердставляю объем работы по подгонке , однажды сын маминой подруги из интернета сделал монтекристо на 22 на коленке без токарки напилинга было много ,
Здесь представлены чужие работы. Не уверен о их легальности , особенно полные автоматы из латинской Америки. Но последний паренек студент MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, лучшее тех заведение мира, вундеркинд . Как Леонардо ДаВинчи . Я многому научился из интернета. Жаль люди боятся и запрещают оружие. А оно всегда было предметом прикладного искусства. Спасибо за посещение.
@@STEINBVG да эт понятно, я охотник и стрелок по бумаге вдучмево на 500+м . Оф доспуп к основному есть :) а так , у нас чтоб таким заниматься . Надо получать лицензию оружейника ....и то можно было к нам ни то что СО2 не ввезешь .а даже испанскую силюминувую реплику кольта :) .еще раз спасибо под кофеек оч хорлшо зашли собранные в одном месте видео
Еще раз спасибо.
Amazing home workmanship.
@@stevebaker6711 yes
Интересно смотреть за вашим творчеством, простые и оригинальные решения! Вам стоит подумать как сделать замедлитель темпа стрельбы в режиме full auto очень большая скорость получилась. P.s. стреляя в ведро с тряпками наверно испортили пол 😂
Спасибо. Но в этом видео только чужие работы. Просто поделился. Латиносы часто пользуются ведром с тряпками как простой уловитель пуль. Даже ловит 9 мм. Пол не портит.
Насчет замедлителя - много решений. Например длиннее путь затвора. Или как в стечкине или скорпионе- дополнительный груз запускается затвором, и после пробега отпускает затвор на выстрел
Thanks, Enjoyed. Been a hobbyist machinist for decades myself.
Thank you
Absolutely great video especially if you have the firearm virus, RIP ROGER KOTANKO !👍
Thank you. These masters deserve more exposure and recognition- their channels are are tiny even comparing to mine. I am glad to redirect people to them
Remember you don’t have to be the one that changes the world, but maybe the spark that creates change
Ok, thanks for the sermon.
Man they're really nice my brother easy to do as easy as Ur gb 22 lol I would love to see plans for these is there any chance or not
The last guy, apparently an MIT student is a mechanical prodigy. I believe he offers the plans on his site under 'About' . To me he is the most impressive, but his designs require more complex equipment- lathe, mill, 3d printer.
Thanks
That was the coolest gun video I've seen yet
Thanks.
0:36 who’d a known a bucket full of towels would make a perfect silencer ? XD
portable bullet catcher+ extra benefit
South East Asia jungle gun smith trick
In México this is used to test before a purchase
@@laloherrera5216 really? That’s interesting, usually a bullet trap or an indoor range is used when testing out a newly purchased firearm.
The small Thompson is a beatiful peice of work, very nice.
Yes
Why yes, I believe in Toggle Bolt Supremacy.
Yes
Some great engineering and design skills here
Absolutely. The astonishing part is some engineers perhaps never went to school. Some went to MIT.
kinda like the tommyluger
Difficult not to. I love it
such amazing work well done
Yes indeed
Those were made with some serious tooling. definitely needed mills and lathes, don't know what sort of heat treatment was applied to the individual parts (if any at all), finish looks clean on many of those like the toggle-locked Thompson lookalike with barely any marks from milling left, so someone definitely put not only time, effort, decent metalworking skills but also took pride in what they're doing. Firearms should be legal for every law-abiding citizen.
YES
Lmao I saw the thumbnail with the Thompson lookalike with the toggle action and literally said “what the FUCK” 😂 mad respect, that is dope
Toggle lock or delay( in this case) is one gorgeous mechanism. I wish manufacturers utilized it, it,s so cool.
2:45 bro lititlery makes the mini Thompson version
Yes. And he named his channel
'Thompson'
The Timmy Gun
Now this is a remarkable collection of inspiration, will be studying them, thanks for sharing, keep up the Lord's work
Wonderful!
Some impressive amateur gunsmiths out there. Very nice. You know most of them are NOT in the US LOL
Oh yes I do. But the last one , the most impressive is in the US.
You are mistaken. You can build these in the us today with the right license though they cant be sold to people, especially those asking how to make them. Those watching this video, i mean . The ones who believe in monkey see, monkey do who intend to run out and make them.
Well done ! Should get an N.R.A. award ❤
Yes
1:22 l like that one its cool lookin
Yes. I hand picked the most impressive ones.
outstanding workmanship great job keep up the good work
thanks on the behalf of the masters presented
Some of these designs look like they was made in actual gun factory. Professionally designed.
Yes.
Excellent mechanical aptitude!
Absolutely
love the luger inspired hammer loading system on the thompson
Ok
This is amazing, wow!
Yes
I love that little Thomson. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Nice
Very good work fellas
YES
Started my journey of creating. And i love it but i often get confused. Im working on single action but I dont have much tools like profeccional ones. What do you think?
Btw im using a stainles steel pellet gun
I use rudimentary tools: drill press, grinder, Dremel, belt sander, files, hack saw. Indeed it would be easier with more sophisticated and specialized equipment. But who cares?
Классные пушки! Талантливый человек! Мастер настоящий!
@@Степан-ц5р3х здесь много разных мастеров. Со всего мира
The mock thompson is way too cool!!!
Yes
Your crafting is next level brother, not much of a gunsmith myself but that open bolt 22 pistol looked amazing
None of the guns in this video are my creations, I simply shared these great examples I had discovered. They all great.
If you are referring to a single shot pistol on a pillow - yes , it,s a great professional design. I have made a similar gun with much simpler technology and materials. Thanks
Қаруларын керемет екен маган қатты ұнады.
Thanks. I picked only the ones I liked.
efsane, hayranlıkla izliyorum..
keşke imkanım olsada böyle şeylerle uğraşabilsem...
Thanks. I am glad you like it.
The craftmanship is on par with commercially made firearms. I would love to see the machine work in making these guns.
So would I
Nature finds a way.
I guess…natural law
That toggle lock is awesome
Oh yes
The minis are amazing
Yes
Would that suppression bucket thing work on 9mm or 556?
I saw a guy use it for 9 mm. Have not seen 5.56. I guess I would have to make a test- video with major calibers.
Super bien réalisée pour beaucoup, bravo aux concepteurs.
I wish i could relay your thanks to the masters. But you can go to their channels and tell him that
Виталий,великолепная работа,видно что делаете с душой,👍👍👍🤝
Спасибо. Я только показал этих замечательных мастеров, есть у них чему поучиться.
I love seeing the penderson action on new rifles
Yes. I love it the most in this collection
Who's making the mini Sten etc..? They are awesome
I have one, made video about it. Made in Taiwan . Can buy here www.evike.com/products/71283/
So are the barrels rifled? Some of these are well thought out
I think they all rifled. And well thought out
I want that Toggle Tommy. that thing is brilliant for a garage build.
That one is a bit more than garage built. The guy is an MIT student I presume if a relevant field
@@STEINBVG yeah that makes sense. you can tell that it is made well.
@@mikelballard5041 oh yes. he has a page where he does a lot of other wide spectrum engineering things- brilliant college kid
@@STEINBVG page name?
@@mikelballard5041 it's listed here:

Loving that .45 Thompson with the Luger p08 toggle system, very cool!
agree
Extremely impressive to say the least, well done 👍👍
YES
As an American, this is truly amazing, ive seen "Home-made guns" before that look, work, and fire like shit, but this is someone who took the time to design and create something, you can tell he loves his craft.
Thanks. There were and are mechanical prodigies and geniuses out there. J M BROWNING comes to my mind. They think in 3d models.
Another nice firearm! I give in. I’m subscribing!
All of them created by others. I only take a credit for sharing...
Eres un buen armero !!!Saludos de Buenos Aires😊.
Welcome. Here, I just share somebody else's creations. Very talented people.
What are these bullet buckets I keep seeing around these channels. I get the cloth is for sound absorption, but what is catching the rounds? Sand? A plastic goo?
@paulornothing773 there must be something underneath. I tried just bucket and tightly compressed rags - even 22lr penetrates the bottom
Pretty damn awesome when u can make ur own firearms. Do you buy barrels around made? If not and u make them bout do u get the turns in the barrels? Do they fly straight?
all the questions to the masters whose sites are listed in the description
The comment does not carry any semantic load, it serves to support the channel and gratitude to the Author.
@@amboss594 thanks
0:55 😂 😅 I am RELIEVED! I AM NOT INSANE AFTER ALL!!!!
Air-Rifle is half made SMG! 🎉 😅😅😅
Well done!!! Well DONE!
I have noticed that. Although I am aware of the conversions. Did you judge by the markings or recognized a particular model?
Wow. Well. Good job of conversion. Thanks for the tip!
Love the Mini replicas
@@brett.p220 me too
Beautiful works of art
Yes
These are actually super nice quality for home made guns. Nice! Love it. Also, this is why gun bans won't work lol
Agree
what's the benefits of the toggle design bolt with the second last one
would a straight bolt be a better setup ?
@@waddney4121 not better- simpler…and heavier . Straight blow back requires more massive bolt and or more heavy spring . The delay or locking mechanisms make hand held high caliber weapons much more comfortable to operate.
Indeed handguns below 9 mm caliber are rarely need locking or delaying mechanisms
The first one was awesome, I plan to make one like that, but I want a nine millimeter. That design , I believe, gives you more room for the trigger and moving parts, and somehow better ease of loading and expelling the bullets. You know, the one with the magazine in front of the trigger.
See his full video for the details.
Amazing quality :)
YES
Nice, very clever!, I was in the army and used a lot of different types of fire arms but these are clever and no doubt effective but how on earth do you learn these skills?, and trust me it is a skill!!.
I have learned by reading and watching such videos. Bikes and guns. There has to be some mechanical basis or talent . And/ or one can be hands-on trained. With various success. All these guys are naturally talented. The last guy is an MIT student. That means something.
pretty cool designs
Yes
altho i can say great work, i wonder how much cnc milling and speciality tools were involved? some were too quality looking to be made in a shed.
Yes.
Beautiful guns. Congrats !!
Yes.
You will never get rid of guns, ever.
hope not
Only a matter of time now until batteries and capacitors get to the point that coilguns are just as deadly and even more unbannable than firearms already are. Maybe that's a moot point when there's already firearms, but on the other hand it's easier to explain and understand. At some point a critical mass of people will just *have* to admit you may as well just have legal guns already, it's the only way to guarantee there'll be a GGWAG when it matters.
great job
The masters would appreciate.
Really neat stuff!
Yes.
