How to make a homemade pistol at home. Self-made barrels of a self-taught gunsmith seized by police (14 photos)

Recently, representatives of law enforcement agencies found in a 66-year-old resident of the city of Dedovsk (Istra district of the Moscow region) an arsenal of weapons from the times of the Great Patriotic War. The pensioner kept a variety of rarities - from a Walther P38 pistol to two machine guns, and they were bought, according to the owner, in ordinary markets. Illegal arsenals of this size are rare for policemen, much more often they come across all kinds of home-made weapons, which modern “kulibins” with a passion for firearms collect from improvised means. I present to your attention the most unusual handicraft "trunks" seized by the security forces.
Homemade pistols and shotgun

In March 2014, police officers from the Krutikhinsky district of the Altai Territory visited a 43-year-old local resident with a previous conviction and unemployed. The man who abused alcohol turned out to be very inquisitive: he studied old books and magazines and made weapons from them. Law enforcement officers confiscated an arsenal of three pistols and a gun from a self-taught gunsmith, and opened a criminal case on the discovery of handicraft "trunks".

The examination showed that the homemade product is suitable for firing cartridges of 5.6 mm caliber (“small ones”). The owner of the unusual find explained that he found it seven years ago in his brother's house. For many years, the crossbow lay idle, until finally its owner gathered in the forest for mushrooms, deciding at the same time to shoot from an unusual device. He came with him to the station, but the train did not wait, because he was detained by the police.

Single-barreled ramrod-loading pistol with a barrel diameter of 5.6 mm


In June 2015, in the city of Zlatoust (Chelyabinsk Region), as part of operational-search activities, police officers inspected the home of a 19-year-old local resident who had previously been repeatedly convicted. In his closet, law enforcement officers stumbled upon a mysterious object, which, as the examination showed, is a home-made single-barreled ramrod-loading pistol with a barrel diameter of 5.6 mm, firing home-made bullets. The owner of the unusual "barrel" claimed that he was keeping it for self-defense, which did not prevent the police from opening a criminal case against Kulibin.

Hello, dear lovers of homemade weapons. By visiting this page, you probably expected to see information on making a homemade air rifle? I have to disappoint you - there is no such one here now. No, of course, it used to be, and we talked in detail about how you could make an air rifle with your own hands at home, but, as always, out of the blue, a notification from Roskomnadzor came, demanding to immediately delete all information on the manufacture of an air rifle from our site. Frankly, I was somewhat surprised by such a requirement. After all, pneumatics has nothing to do with what is prohibited in Russian Federation, manufacture of improvised firearms and explosives. Although maybe I missed something? And now even homemade pneumatics fell under the category of prohibited information? It seems that the fight against terrorism has gone beyond the bounds of rationality, and is taking on the form of absurdity.

More recently, I had to remove information about a homemade flamethrower. Well, this can be explained somehow. After all, the combustible mixture used in a flamethrower can be completely bottled by making a battery of Molotov cocktails. I have not found any more reasons why it would be worth deleting this info. Okay, let it be that the flamethrower itself is a terrible weapon of a terrorist, which he will definitely use, having read my instructions, instead of, say, a homemade bomb, or a Kalashnikov assault rifle, so I deleted everything without further questions. But pneumatics! Who did she hurt? Honestly, it's easier to kill than from the air rifle design that was described on this site.

I expressed my bewilderment in a letter to Roskomnadzor, but have not yet received a response. Revision of the court decision, you need to wait three months. If, after this time, they decide that homemade construction air rifle is oh-oh-very dangerous to publish, then, to my deep regret, you will continue to read these lines.

Well, for now, Dear friends, you can take an interest in other designs of cold and cold throwing weapons by clicking on the links below, or by pointing the cursor at the corresponding button in the upper left.

As you already understood, we will talk about homemade weapons of self-defense. If you are interested in DIY weapons for self-defense, then you have come to the right place. Items of this kind may be needed in many cases and completely different people- from a small defenseless girl to a strong man with a centner in weight. Much depends on combat training, on the physical and psychological indicators of a person, and if all this is at a low level, then it will be very difficult for him to protect himself without self-defense. But also, a lot depends on how many people are attacking you, and what kind of training they have. Self-defense weapons will help you protect yourself from an intruder if you are not sufficiently prepared, or if there are many such intruders.

Weapons for self-defense

So, let's look at weapons that you can make with your own hands.

1. Flail
2. club
3. Nunchaku
4. Sling
5. Brass knuckles
6. Yawara
7. Slingshot
8. Samopal
9. Other

Each self-defense weapon has its own characteristics, and not all weapons on the list are legal. For example, you can answer to the fullest extent of the law for self-propelled guns and brass knuckles.

Flail

Roughly speaking, a flail is a load on a rope, a shock-crushing type weapon that can quickly pacify an attacker. Anything can be used as a load - nuts, - a stone, a hammer, a lead blank, and, in principle, any heavy object. We also need a rope with a loop at the end, which will be worn on the hand so that the rope does not sleep. You can not put the rope on your hand, but tie it to a handle of a convenient length made of wood or other material. The length of the rope from the load can be different, but the optimal one is 40-50 cm. We tie the rope to the load, make a loop at the end and that's it, we have a serious weapon ready. The weight of the cargo is better to be from 150 grams and above. Of course, such weapons can harm an attacker without any problems, but using any of the listed items, the main thing is not to become a criminal yourself. The weapon works on a scope and working part A weapon is a load that needs to hit a certain part of the body. The brush can be carried with you everywhere, as it is compact. You can put it in your purse or pocket, and it will help you out at the right time.

club

The club is the simplest and most well-known self-defense item. There are many types of clubs that will help you get out of a difficult situation. You can use the simplest straight baton, the double-handled baton, which has a wider range of action. You can use two short clubs for self-defense, with which you can very effectively defend yourself. In extreme cases, any stick that is not very long and fits well in the palm of your hand will go. We can also use bits, which are also quite effective. Unfortunately, we cannot carry a baton in a purse. At best, it can fit in a backpack.

Nunchaku

The weapon is effective, interesting, but not as simple as it might seem. They need to learn how to use them, and when you take it in your hands for the first time, the main thing is not to break your forehead, because almost every person who picks up nunchucks for the first time hits himself on the head with them. Be careful with this weapon, and before using it in life situation, learn how to use it - believe me, it's worth it. The nunchaku was made more popular by the legendary martial artist Bruce Lee. After watching movies with Bruce Lee, you can appreciate such weapons as nunchucks. They consist of two pieces of wood, or pieces of any other strong material. At home, we can simply connect two wooden pieces with a rope. We make holes from the ends of the segments in the middle, about 2-3 cm, and holes through the entire diameter that passes through the central hole. In the middle we get a drilled letter "T". We take the rope - we stick one end on one side, and take it out from the center, and the second on the other side, and we also take it out from the center, and for convenience, you can use the wire. It turns out, from the center, we will have two ends of the rope peeking out. Then we stick the ropes into the center of another segment, take it out on the sides and tie it on top. Nunchaku can be small and can be worn in a purse or backpack, as well as around the waistband of your pants.

Sling

Quite a good self-defense weapon, but in order to use it, you must first prepare it - charge it, and only after that you will be able to stop the attacker. The sling looks like this: a rope, in the middle of which there is a “pocket”, like in a slingshot, in which a stone is placed. At one end there is a loop that is put on the finger, on the second knot. We put a stone in our pocket and by means of simple movements we send the stone to the target. That's the whole principle, but the fact is that you need to be able to use these weapons, and here at first too, the main thing is not to harm yourself. To make a sling, you need a rope and a thick piece of material for a "pocket" - leather is ideal. It doesn’t take much mind to attach the cut skin to the rope, so we won’t consider it.

Brass knuckles

It's time to consider brass knuckles. This is a fairly ancient weapon, the existence of which is known to many. Brass knuckles is a weapon of shock-crushing action. To use brass knuckles, they put it on the fingers of the hand, clench a fist and strike with a fist in which the brass knuckles are clamped. Due to the fact that an object is clamped in the palm, the blow is amplified, and the blow is many times more powerful due to the weight of the brass knuckles, and due to its outer part, which is working. The sides of brass knuckles can also be working parts. If when hitting with a fist, the main points of contact are the knuckles of the thumbs, which do not have such a large area, then when hit with brass knuckles, the point of contact is the entire shock part of the brass knuckles, which allows you to influence a wider area. Brass knuckles are different, but they have the same principle. Brass knuckles at home can be made from lead or wood. From lead: make a mold and pour molten lead into it. from wood: cut out, but the weight will be much less.

Brass knuckles can also include battle rings, and the simplest battle ring can be made at home from a large nut that can be put on a finger. On the machine, we grind the nut under the finger and sharpen the top as we need.

I want to replace that the possession of brass knuckles or a battle ring is practically impossible without the practice of percussion techniques. First, learn, and only then think about using brass knuckles.

Here is such a not cunning weapon for self-defense. But that's not all. We continue.

Yawara

Yawara is also an ancient self-defense weapon, but to use it, you also need a little, and maybe a lot of practice. Yawara is a wooden stick that is longer than the width of the palm of your hand. She can stab at various points of the body, and these blows will be quite painful if you have the preparation. Yawara can be made from an ordinary stick by sharpening it on a machine tool or with a knife.

A similar weapon is the kubotan. Yawara and Kubotan have a different history, but, nevertheless, they are similar in principle of action. The main difference between a kubotan is that there is a hole for a ring on the edge, on which you can hang anything - keys are most convenient.

Yawara and kubotan can be carried both in your pocket and in your purse. The main condition is the ability to use.

Slingshot

The slingshot, despite its innocent appearance, is a rather dangerous weapon. If the slingshot has a powerful, good rubber band, then the slingshot projectile will be able to fly long and fast, which will allow it, if it hits the body, to hurt and leave a bruise, and if it hits the head, it can just hurt, or there may be more serious consequences, - it all depends on the gum and the projectile. You can buy a slingshot and the most suitable will be a slingshot that has a support for the forearm. You can make a slingshot yourself from wood or reinforcement. But the main thing here is to find a good rubber band and shells.

Samopal

Samopal - the most serious weapon for self-defense of those listed. You can charge a self-propelled gun with anything - bent nails, salt, pellets. The self-propelled gun consists of a handle and a pipe. A handle for convenience, and so as not to get burned, and we fill the pipe with gunpowder (sulfur) and a charge. A hole is made on top of the pipe so that sulfur can be ignited in the middle. The pipe must be thick-walled so that it does not burst, and well riveted at the end so that it does not swell. This is very dangerous weapon for self-defense, which, I suggest not to use at all.

Other

From other weapons, I can suggest the following:

opener. The most common can opener skillful hands can become a real weapon.

Screwdriver. As a specialized item, it does not pose any threat, but if used as a weapon, it becomes very dangerous.

Scissors. Ordinary nail scissors, which can serve as a piercing weapon, or heavy utility ones that can be used as a percussion weapon, are great for self-defense.

Fork. An ordinary fork can also become a stabbing weapon.

Once alone with nature, you have to survive by getting food with the help of improvised means. It is good if you have a cold weapon or a hunting rifle with you. Once in a situation where there is neither one nor the other, you can make a weapon out of wood with your own hands.

Almost any weapon can be made from wood: a bow, a crossbow for hunting, a knife, a spear, a spear, a slingshot, an ax and even a gun. More details on how to make weapons from wood are discussed below.

Homemade wooden knife

The choice of material for the manufacture of weapons is a very important task.

• Birch is a strong and unyielding material, it is better to make clubs from it.
• Aspen, poplar and pine are softer, lend themselves well to various types processing.
• But the most suitable for homemade wood is oak. Oak wood is well processed, light in weight, durable, does not lose its characteristics over time.

Before making a blank, you need to choose a material that does not contain knots, rotten areas, curvature, heterogeneity of fibers, then dry it without exposure to direct sunlight. When the material is ready, a weapon blank is made.

Do-it-yourself wooden slingshot

Slingshot

The simplest weapon made of wood is a slingshot. With the help of this throwing weapon, you can hunt birds and small game, and for the manufacture you need a minimum of materials - a strong elastic band or tourniquet, and a branch with a fork (it is better to use hazel).

The fork is cut off from the main part of the trunk right size, polished, a tourniquet is attached to both ends. For reliability, small cuts can be made at the ends of the slingshot so that the tourniquet does not slip off.

wooden club

A similarly simple weapon is a wooden club. The disadvantage of this projectile is that for its use it is necessary to keep a short distance, which can be very difficult during hunting. To make a club you need to use young tree, cut down closer to the root, where the wood is most durable. From the surface of the workpiece, the bark is carefully removed, all the knots, it is soaked for a day in water, then dried over a fire to blackness, which is then removed by grinding with sand and grass. This procedure must be done several times, resulting in a durable baton that does not rot.

DIY wooden knife

Wooden knives

An equally sophisticated homemade weapon is a wooden knife. It can be cut in one piece from a wooden block, or it can be made from two constituent parts. To do this, you need to put a sketch of the workpiece on wooden blocks, then cut it out with a hacksaw. After that, both parts are glued into a single whole. If the manufacture of a wooden knife is carried out in field conditions, then, as a rule, there is nothing to glue the components with. Therefore, it is cut from a single bar.

The blade is well sharpened and carefully polished, after which it must be burned on fire, giving it strength. If possible, you can make a lacquer coating of the knife, then it will not be afraid of moisture.

Wooden bow and crossbow

A bow or crossbow is an effective weapon in the forest, made of wood. There are many video examples of making a crossbow that describe the entire process in detail. First, the body of the crossbow is cut with a groove for the arrow. An arc will be attached to one end of the body, and a trigger mechanism will be made at one third of the other end. The arc is best made from several layers of plywood glued together, which are bent after drying. You can make it out of metal. At both ends of the arc of the crossbow, you need to make holes for attaching the bowstring. The arc is fastened to the body with a strong rope, if it is not at hand, with a wire. The bowstring is attached to the arc in such a way that it passes closely over the body, but does not touch it. The task of the trigger mechanism is to capture the bowstring and its sharp descent. The design of the mechanism can be made in the form of a wide arc or a complex system of hooks.

Arrows for crossbows are made of resilient wood, they are given a cylindrical shape, after which they are polished. The tip can be made of wood, metal or stone.

It is possible to manufacture not only “cold” weapons from wood. You can make something like a pistol or a gun, but you need to understand that it will not last long. The algorithm for making a pistol is simple: you need to make a frame from wood to which the barrel is attached, as well as a trigger mechanism with a striker, you can add a magazine. A metal tube is used as a barrel.

It is difficult to make a full-fledged pistol out of wood, but you can make a dart gun, which will become a full-fledged hunting projectile. In order to make it, you need to cut a cylinder from an empty aerosol can, into which a piston carved from wood is inserted. To ensure normal friction force, a rubber skirt is attached to the piston. Next, a stem is made using a large nail and a spring. Inside wooden frame you need to make a hole in which the cylinder with the piston is placed. The trigger mechanism is made similarly to a crossbow, in more detail the process of its installation can be found on the video. The barrel of the dart launcher must be made using metal pipe, and for darts - nails.

Every self-respecting country that wants to have weight on the world stage spends almost the lion's share of its budget on the development of the military-industrial complex. Target factories are being built, new ultra-modern types of weapons are being developed. However, it is possible to effectively destroy the enemy's combat forces in another way - using makeshift weapons. This, of course, is not as effective, but it works great in a guerrilla war. And it's about makeshift weapons we'll talk today.

1. Pit trap

Perhaps the most primitive example of homemade weapons. The soldier does not see the pit, falls into it, runs into stakes or spikes, loses combat effectiveness. What could be easier? Even ancient and primitive hunters used pit traps for hunting wild and large animals. That's just people are much smarter than animals, so main problem is an effective masking of such holes. best example tactics for using it makeshift weapons showed us.

For those who don't know - Vietnam War, in which licensed democracy peddlers massively sucked off the semi-savage Vietnamese people, partly sponsored Soviet Union. The very conditions of Vietnam completely leveled the fierce superiority of the democrats in armored vehicles and aviation, and the American infantry, as you know, sucks without support. And then she sucked especially hard - the jungle, high humidity, regular flooding of the territory, tropical diseases, mosquitoes, poor mobility - all this played against them. And then there are the vicious Vietnamese, to whom “democracy” didn’t give up at all and who made life difficult for the American army with all their might. And it's not even about classic guerrilla tactics, speech and "quiet" war.

The fact is that digging holes in the ground, sticking them with stakes smeared, excuse me, with shit, and waiting for the water to fill them by itself is as easy as shelling pears. And the soldier, who is blindly wandering along the half-flooded path discovered with such difficulty, will obviously not be happy to fail and run into these surprises with all his weight. There is also a complicated version - in addition to the stakes, spikes were installed on the sides at the bottom, directed diagonally downwards. If a soldier tried to pull his leg out, he also ran into these spikes. And a very difficult option - two logs studded with nails. The soldier steps on their junction, falls down, the drums rotate, the nails are stuck ...

2. Molotov cocktail

This improvised weapon has already become a classic for most modern riots. And all because it is extremely simple.

First before this effective remedy the destruction of manpower and armored vehicles came up with hot Finnish guys during Soviet-Finnish war 1939-1940. And it was they who called these cute bottles “Molotov Cocktail”, since Comrade Molotov was at that time the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR and was, in principle, responsible for starting the war.

However, this has makeshift weapons and obvious shortcomings. The first and main one is that a rag on fire unmasks a fighter, putting his life at risk. The way out was found with the help of chemistry - mixtures of some chemicals ignite on contact with air, so they began to simply put the ampoule with reagents into bottles with Molotov cocktail.

3. Samopal

Or in other words - homemade firearms. To be honest, it deserves a separate article - so many various options was invented, created and tested by local "kulibins" of various nationalities. So for the time being we will focus on simple version- samopale type "ignition".

According to modern weapons classification, this is a single-shot ramrod-type pistol. That is, the charge and the bullet are laid from the muzzle. On the opposite side, respectively, there is an igniter hole. A metal tube acts as a barrel, which is attached to an impromptu butt. Direct ignition of the charge is carried out either manually or using a trigger.

Despite the extremely simple principle, this improvised weapon pretty efficient. From close range, it can even kill, especially if you get into any vital organ.

4. Rocket Kassam

This improvised weapon- in fact, a solid-propellant unguided ground-to-ground missile. Until now, it is actively produced on the territory of the Gaza Strip with the aim of shelling the territory of Israel.

The point is simple. The most simple and affordable ingredients are taken, which we will not list here, but which can be found in any agricultural or hardware store. All this is combined into correct proportions, and then a homemade rocket is installed on the launcher and launched in the direction of the enemy.

Between 2001 and 2012, 27 people were officially killed, and another 700 were injured of varying severity. Actually, this is not an attacking weapon - low accuracy, low explosive power and big weight make it ineffective in active combat operations. But as a weapon of terror - that's it. Produced literally on the knee, inexpensive, inconspicuous. And not so long ago, a Palestinian garbage truck was detained in the Gaza Strip, converted into a multiple launch rocket system with the help of Qassams. No, this is really brilliant - you can quietly move around the territory, prepare a volley in a matter of minutes, shoot and just as quietly hide. In short, simple and effective in its own way improvised weapon.

5. "Shushpanzers"

Under this funny name, which originated in 2007 on thematic forums dedicated to military equipment, any modern vehicle, covered with makeshift armor. Wherever it was used - both during the Second World War, when the USSR had huge problems with armored vehicles, so armor and weapons were even put on tractors, and during the first Arab-Israeli conflict, when the Jews did not yet have their own Merkav, and on eastern Ukraine, and on both sides of the conflict.

And all because this makeshift weapons extremely simple principle. A powerful wheelbase is taken (a truck, a tractor, everything that can carry a lot of weight) and sheathed with thick metal sheets. The thicker, the more reliable. Actually, everything. From shrapnel and bullets improvised weapon protect, the soldier will deliver to the destination. And if you install a machine gun, then it will cover it with fire. In a word, simple and effective.
