      @@jacobthompson3605 I think that's the opposite actually. Pipe weapons are terribly portrayed in FO4. For "Makeshift" and "Hand crafted" weapons, it sure is dumb that they all have the exact same receiver, have the same magazine on the side and accept the exact same .38 ammo.
      The whole point of homemade weapons is to make use of what's available to the maker. Did everyone in post-apocalypse Boston have access to the same rusted iron pipes, comically oversized screws and .38 ammo? Did everyone suddenly decide side-loading magazines are the way of the future? Why the fuck can they only accept .38 or, rarely, .45 at most?
      If your game portrays makeshift, homemade pipe weapons as things that come out of a factory production line, it's best not to have them on the first place.

      It’s just that it’s very common to find pipe weapons that use 38. Bullets because that’s the most common type of ammo to find in the wasteland but there are some pipe weapons that you can find that have a different receiver and other modifications

      Joel Filho there’s a guns and bullets magazine you can find called “street weapons of Detroit” and it shows a pipe pistol on the cover so someone who studied how Detroit gangsters built these guns built a couple and people went from there, breaking them apart to learn how to make them to adding their own modifications to them

    The last one (the blown up one) is from a Belgian rifle, probably obtained from Mozambique. I imagine it used some nitro powder out of a shotgun cartridge. The others are like West African 'Dane guns'. Car steering columns for barrels. Traditionally Morris Minor steering columns. Morris once sent out a rep to find out why West Africa was needing so many spare steering columns. Made from good seamless steel tubing. People laugh at such things (and I wouldn't fire one ever) but how good a gun could you make in your garage with just a hacksaw, hammer, file and a simple forge fire? I respect the makers even as I fear to use the resultant firearm.

      "but how good a gun could you make in your garage with just a hacksaw, hammer, file and a simple forge fire"
      You're looking at it - 16th and 17th century "crude" firearms; the quality of tools and materials necessarily dictates the type of firearm you can produce. These guys are (mostly) making muzzle-loading, percussion-fired weapons because that's as advanced (mostly) as these people produce with the crude and rough equipment and materials they have with which to produce them :) The other part of the equation is general education - most poachers that are in the field are from places with incredibly abysmal literacy rates and virtually no access to decent education of any sort, so their grasp on principles such as physics and mechanics are a little... tenuous. Some of the poachers who've worked other trades, e.d. miners or other heavy industry-type work, will often apply whatever limited scope of experience they have to the weapons they have to craft, which is why a lot of them tend to produce percussion-fired muzzle-loading weapons rather than other solutions that could use less resources (e.g. wood or paper cartridges, locking breaches, etc).

      Africa is a pretty varied place, in terms of development. There's plenty of developed areas, mostly the cities, which would have hardware stores, but if you live there, you probably don't need to do that to get a gun anyways. The people who are too poor to buy new weapons are probably also too poor to get decent parts as well, unfortunately.

    Unfortunately poachers have since upgraded to AK-47s which, after the Rhodesian Bush War and the war in Mozambique, were in plentiful supply. In the 90s it was possible to get hold of an AK-47 in quite a good condition for R50 (about $5 US at that time). With the massive increase in attacks on (mostly white-owned) farms also came an increase in stolen rifles, so poachers are nowadays often armed with sophisticated hunting rifles.

    Amazing, like something out of the 19th century when crafts gunsmiths made these things. There a=was an article in a UK shooting journal many years ago by a guy who got an African gunsmith to make him a 'modern' flintlock, using local materials. It was fascinating barrel forged on a mandrel, proofed, stock made from local wood etc. We need to remember, that matchlocks, flintlocks and percussion guns were in regular use around the world until about 80 years ago. I know people who sued to hunt on a regular basis after the second world war with their old percussion pieces (no modern ammunition available) and black powder. In the right circumstances they are still being made.

      I spent some time in Mozambique some years ago and there were home made guns also in use there. One of the regions was not so far from what was then the Rhodesian border that was undergoing liberation war at the time. I have also read that in some parts of west africa muzzle loading shotguns of about 20 ga (bore) were made from the tube taken from the steering columns of junked cars. At one time those types of guns were quasi legal. Were only useful for small game and posed no real threat to the governments.
      Most hunting in africa involves the use of snares and I always wondered how the animals were finished off. Perhaps a spear or maybe a home made gun. Many years ago Arthur Jones filmed a man killing an elephant with a muzzle loader of about 6 or 4 ga loaded with match head powder. First shot was to the elephant's front knee joint and it then it was repeatedly shot until dead. I recall the propellant was match heads.

      Muzzle loaded dane guns are pretty common in west africa along the Sahel, even when there is access to modern guns. If you live far enough out on the contryside its nice to have something a blacksmith can fix with traditional tools - and being able to make ammunition from scratch is a security in it self. They also keep them for traditional reasons, while some are recently made - others are family heirlooms with stories and memories attached to them. They are mnemonic objects in oral traditions, a way to keep memory and history alive.

    Using match heads for powder isn't as unlikely or as outlandish as you think. P Luty the writer of expedient homemade firearms with it's infamous and somewhat influential sub gun design also wrote a companion book about homemade ammo. He advised using safety matches rather than strike anywhere types which is kinda obvious. His experience was that you could substitute 1 -1 with modern powder as match heads were not as powerful. He showed an example of overloading a shotshell with matches and rather than exploding it simply melted the plastic shell case. Match heads burn slow compared to even black powder. I would be far more scared of the varying burn rates of home mixed black powder than factory made match heads which would be designed to burn at a consistent rate. I guess the guns here are dangerous in any situation and Luty's firearms specified seamless mechanical tube and would have been far stronger.

Used a 24 inch of 3/4 inch black iron pipe with a piece of 1/2 inch copper pipe acraglassed inside, made it about 50 caliber. Brazzed a piece of angle iron on top next to a hole drilled thru to the chamber. Glued a piece of sandpaper to the angle iron. Formed up a piece of #9 wire into a trigger/match holder. Took 23 strike anywhere matches for a load. Stick a match in the holder, loaded wads, bbs, pull the trigger, went bang. Killed a lot of squirrels with it. Thanks uncle ed

    I just found your channel. It is very interesting!
    When I was in my late teens, early twenties, (30 years ago) I made some home made fire arms just for fun. Iron rods, springs, tubes, pieces of wood, wire and even plastic. I could put one together and have it fire standard manufactured rounds. At 1 point, I had actually made a hand gun out of a cigarrette lighter. At 1st glance, you could not tell that it was anything else but. However, they could fire a 32 caliber round, by pulling out a rod that was stiffened by a double pring assembly. You could twist it in one position to lock it once it was pulled out. When you wanted to fire it, you would pull it a little further, twist and release. Now with the short muzzle and no rifling, you would pretty much have to be right up against your adversary for it to hit your target at all. We lived in a very remote area surrounded by woods, So it was the perfect area for a kid to test these devices. It was all just for fun. However, one day I decided I probably shouldn't have these things laying around. I figured I would eventually hurt or kill myself or worse yet, some kid, idiot, or someone ignorant of what they were, might find it and hurt themself or something. so I destroyed it all.
    I have to admit though, it was fun while it lasted.
