Survival Shotgun –An Intriguing Pipe Dream

This is one of those posts where I need to remind you, my esteemed reader, about this site’s disclaimer and state that the following information is for educational purposes only.

The two videos below will have you dreaming of pipes. They demonstrate a two piece shotgun with one pipe containing a firing pin fitting over the pipe that serves as the barrel.

It may be crude, but I find the simplicity of the design appealing. Plus, parts can be had from your local hardware store, home improvement big box store or perhaps Online Metals.

A Wikipedia article on improvised firearms notes that such a shotgun called the paliuntod was used by insurgents in the Philippines during World War II during Japanese occupation.

Take a few minutes to watch these videos. Then leave a comment below and let others know what you think.

 

 

 

Think of the possibilities for using other calibers if you added an adapter, such as the Dina.
