There should be a specific forum for this.
I like creating "stuff". And I like guns & shooting. So it makes sense to create my own guns & shoot them.
Anybody else?
My first, many years ago was actually a kit. A black powder revolver.
It was mildly fun but didn't completely scratch my itch. I had to build stuff from scratch.
Over the years, it's been a long list.
Now I don't want this to morph into a political discussion, I'd rather spend the time seeing what others made but... I gotta say this.
The "gun grabbers" are all upset over "ghost guns", not the backpack type in the movie Ghostbusters, but the homemade kind that supposedly aren't traceable.
After a career in law enforcement, one thing I noticed... Criminals are stupid and for the most part lazy.
While they manage to create some clever things in prison out of basically nothing, in the real world they would rather just steal one already made.
It's extremely difficult for me to imagine a criminal having the ability / skill / resources to make a decent gun, I'm not seeing the motivation when they can simply steal one.
So why the hype? "Ghost guns" turning up at crime scenes? Like they drop them & leave them behind after each crime? I doubt it.
That's another topic... I'm done with that rant.
Back to the good stuff...
Show us what you made! Or tried to make... failures count too.
