I wouldn’t make the pipe gun. Because it could blow up on you.
Pipe Gun – Did it work? Why no video of test fire? I would be somewhat concerned of standard galvanized pipe surviving more than a couple shots, stock and barrel remaining firmly attached and mostly with where the firing pin/nail ends up – off-the-shelf tapered pipe threads do not allow you to union the pipe and plug close together!!
Hey check out the YouTube channel:
Royal nonesuch… He makes alot of homeade weapons (guns). Awesome channel.
H questions about used plastic milk cartons, can you store sugar, flour, cornmeal yeast, and other bulk items in them? Several ?s, where can one get answers to specific, not generalizes, questons?
I actually use 2 liter soda bottles to store bulk food items in, once I have rinsed them out of course. I just drop in an oxygen absorbent packet before closing it up if I plan on storing it for a while. Milk jugs are very hard to get completely clean, and the milk proteins that you may not be able to completely remove will spoil your food items. Better safe than sorry; especially when storing food for emergency situations and the price of food these days.
put a bay leaf in with the bulk dry items to keep bugs out
I use thicker walled gallon water jugs, or Chick-fil-A tea jugs, after I’ve drank The contents, of course. To ensure I’ve gotten everything out, Ifill them half-way with tap water as hot as I can get it, shake vigorously and empty, then refill to the absolute top with water just cold enough not to melt the jug, and let it sit until cool. Empty and repeat, now you have an absolutely clean jug, I always dry upside down for a couple of days, just to be doublely sure. Then you have storage with a handle, that you can tie 550 cord through to carry multiple, hang, lift up a cliff, etc…
I don’t know… but 2 liter pop bottle work fine and you can store staples such as rice and beans and much more..
so far I enjoy this site I`ve told four of my friends and my son about , keep up the good work
If you use iron pipe for any of these projects, keep in mind that this material rusts faster than anything else on earth, so you should clean it with some degreaser and PAINT it immediately. A few bucks worth of Rustoleum or some of that plastic-based paint will go a long way to keep it usable. On the un-paintable parts, like the inside of that gun barrel, be generous with a coat of oil that you replenish occasionally (unless you shoot it regularly).
As far as using black pipe as a gun barrel … it has been done and used before, but it would probably be a good idea to reinforce that barrel with something else, especially if you plan on using it a lot during the zombie apocalypse. You can wrap it with a later or two of steel wire, and then wrap it with heavy duct tape, to keep it from doing serious damage if that barrel turns into a banana, which could happen if you are shooting heavy shotgun slugs or buckshot, esp. from the longer shot shells, and even more especially if you use a rather long barrel, where the energy of the explosion inside has more time and room to build up.
I just noticed that the one improvised weapon seemed to use regular gray iron pipe instead of black iron pipe (the kind usually used for gas connections instead of water connections).
I have heard MANY times that the black pipe is the only acceptable one for improvised weapons since it is a different category of pipe and MUCH MUCH stronger than the regular water-pipe stuff.
The difference in cost is small. Be sure to get the BLACK iron pipe, unless you want to risk it blowing up in your face !!!!!!!
a trebuchet would be the most impractical weapon. I couldn’t see any situation one would need to use this, let alone transport it to be used.
For neighborhood defense, a trebuchet is a most practical weapon. You have barricades up at the entrance to your neighborhood. You want heavy artillery zeroed in on your barricades. The trebuchet can throw short pieces of log, it can throw heavy rocks, most importantly, it an throw bundles of burning material. Consider the effect on bad guys trying to breach your entrance barricade when bundles of burning, dried out weeds start raining down on them. Because of its high arc, a trebuchet can drop loads behind a barricade that flat trajectory weapons cannot penetrate. Loaded on a trailer, the trebuchet can also be made into a mobile launcher. If you study pictures of medieval sieges, the trebuchets were wheeled in order to be mobile. They were used to throw objects over the walls of fortified positions, much like a mortar or howitzer does today. As another bulletin said, in a desperate situation, your mind is your best weapon. Think, plan, adjust.
The wheels on a trebuchet help with stabity of the device when using a fixed counter weight they allow the machine to roll slightly back and forth but not flip or tear itself apart (so don’t chalk the wheels). If your using a bucket type counter weight, the wheels would be strictly for mobility. The bucket drops, and won’t flip your siege engine.
If you use pipe liik for schedule 60 or 80 it has thicker walls and is thus stronger than common schedule 40 commonly sold in big box stores
Be careful with the pipe gun. That is a textbook example of a “zip gun” and is restricted in a lot of states (including pro gun states like Texas). Other places restrict catapults and trebuchets just the same as they ban stuff like slingshots. And flamethrowers are illegal in ten states (it’s only a misdemeanor). Check your local laws before making stuff like this.
Laws don’t mean anything all a Law is is for sheeple for 1 for 2 a law is nothing more than one human and a bunch of his anus sucking sheeple who don’t like something so they go out to try and control everyone with their power happy control freak B.S.. Anyways if your having to use this stuff for survival then that means your on your own and laws don’t mean a Fing thing anymore. In which they shouldn’t anyways. As long as you are not hurting someone else or someone elses property nobody has a right to tell anyone what they may or may not own, have, or make PERIOD.
Nunya: That may well be your opinion of laws in general, however, when you violate one, and the men in the blue suit come to take you away, your opinions will not matter much. Your expression of your views does not rank you with the top class of citizens either, or one with whom I would care to deal with! However, you are correct, when anyone is put to survival because of the lack of any further public administration, then laws from that previous administration don’t mean much either. I guess it depends on what situation you find yourself in! All the best luck with your views and how you carry them out! Respectfully; Marcus Audens
Marcus,
Climb off your soap box and realize this site is “Survival “ life.
Not suburban life. When SHTF the laws and regulations you speak of
Are non existent.
The guns made from galv. pipe do work well in a pinch,but the person making them can make it a better,safer gun with a little effort.We used to call them “Zip Guns”You can make just about any cal. you can find pipe for,we made 22 cal. out of trans. line,you just have to offset your firing pin for rim fire,but this should be a weapon of last resort,of course yall know that.
Hi, Merry Xmas. I tried to order my free survival tool n book but it won’t let me coz I live in Australia n it wont process my postcode. I put in all the right information but still not working. What can I do. Plz help me?
I have only recently and have found it very informative, the way things are explained well and the projects are quite away to follow. I have bought things form the store too and the things that I have bought are of a very high quality and could well be buying more, if I can’t make it myself.
I love this site as questions are mostly answered and some of the solutions are amazing, tyres work people and kind regards from me on the U.K.

Danke fuer die schoene Zeit auf dieser Webseite. Macht weiter so.
Da kommt man gerne wieder vorbei.
While Pipe is ok, stainless steel tubing is a better option for a homemade firearm. It is available with heavy wall thicknesses that allows it a much higher PSI rating than the same OD size pipe. While tubing is measured in OD (outside diameter) Pipe is measured in ID (inside diameter) so the same OD size tubing can have a larger wall thickness than the same OD size pipe thus affording it higher PSI ratings. I don’t know much about making homemade firearms but I do know tubing and piping.
