Impro Guns - .410 pocket pipe
A man in West Harris County, Texas accidentally shot himself yesterday while carrying this thing.
The last one - the guy accidentally shot himself with a .410 "shotgun" that doesn't have a trigger? I'm under the impression those fire by that eye bolt being spring loaded. Pull back on the eye bolt, let go, and the spring drives the bolt hard enough to set off the primer. One had better be careful with their choice of spring and whatever else they have in that pocket.
ReplyDeleteSometimes they are spring loaded. Sometimes the eye-bolt only acts as a firing pin, and you fire the thing by slamming the 2 halves together. It is hard to tell, but this one does look like it could be spring loaded. (The other kind usually have a longer barrel end)
DeleteBut anyone who would carry something this crude is asking for trouble.
