Turning a Staple Gun into a Real Gun

YouTube user GatheringSticks turned a stapler and some pipes into a functional 12 gauge shotgun.

I am not sure if I would rather be behind or in front of that trigger icon smile Turning a Staple Gun into a Real Gun photo But seriously, the gun looks safe. Using a stapler gun as a combination trigger and striker is a clever idea.

Remember, always check local laws before attempting to build a gun.

    Listening to this guy, it is pretty obvious that he is one of our cousins to the north. Just goes to show you that, even with repressive laws like Canada’s, people will find a way.

    Another example of how unsavory folk can get hold of firearms for the purpose of committing crimes, such as murder, regardless of the legislature’s efforts to prevent them from doing so. (Major congratulations to GatheringSticks though, assuming he didn’t use it to do anything bad.)

    I imagine that most States in the U.S. would ban that shotgun as an illegal zip gun. I know that is the case in California.

    In fact the law is so extreme in California that I believe the anti-zip gun law even covers typical hair-spray fueled spud-guns. Though not the air cannon version of spud-guns. Go figure.

    wow, somebody’s been playing too much Fallout or Metro 2033. Still, pretty neat but one thing that I want to know, is this thing legal to own?

    Up next, “Common Sense Staple Gun Control”, followed by “One Staple Gun a Month” laws, and of course a ban on Staple Guns that can hold more than 10 staples.
