Potentially! i am sure his health insurance will come into play some time in the future! I would think that's a fair bet! A very neat welder. :lol: I wonder if he is planning on adding an extractor or even an ejector. It would appear he has managed to construct a weapon that is slower to reload than a Semi-Auto, Pump or Break Barrel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear he has managed to construct a weapon that is slower to reload than a Semi-Auto, Pump or Break Barrel! Although it is a bit scary give the lad credit for turning out a tool that works and he tested it fairly extensively and the product didn't fail. OK it isn't a gentleman's gun but it is early days. I'm sure that JM Browning must have started with random prototypes. I cant see much room for modern firearms improvement over what we have now. For hundreds of years we had weapons like swords and the like and a sword can only be developed into a technically better sword. perhaps the next revolutionary weapon will be a laser or light gun like in the sci fi films. all pie in the sky but so were space ships and going to the moon not too many years ago. I watched some of his vids and a lot of it was quite inventive if blooming dangerous. as in the saying >> necessity is the mother of creation.

Browning was designing weapons there was not the choice of well built, proofed, easily available guns. If you could see the future it would be a wonderful asset. Not when other safer arms are already available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjimmer Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 A late friend of mine built a hammerless 4-bore, using a barrel from a German Dornier bomber that crashed locally during WW2. When he died, plod grabbed it, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjimmer Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Were the Luftwaffe shooting our wildfowl? Many a true word spoken in jest. The shallow area of the Fleet, behind Chesil Beach was the site of a 'decoy town' to draw fire and bombs away from Weymouth. It consisted of dozens of poles with lights on them so that Gerry dropped their munitions there instead of on Weymouth. There's probably quite a few unexploded bombs lying it the mud. It is a feeding place of thousands of wildfowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Indeed I am aware of many of the decoy sites that date from WW2 around the country. I was rather surprised that a German aerial gun that would have been rifled would be adapted in to a 4 bore. The usual calibre was 7.92 mm. That gun must have involved an awful lot of work!

I think it was a c30mm cannon barrel. He worked in an MoD workshop. If he could make a gearbox for a nuclear submarine..........

wraivi Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 He won't be test firing or welding anything with no eyes or fingers. I had a school mate who blew his thumb off in the farm workshop trying to build a 12 bore 'pipe gun'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
