The Atlantic has a published a fascinating photo essay showing the Libyan rebel weapons retrofitting and manufacturing ‘industry’.

Okki, a reader of TFB, discovered a primitive blackpowder shotgun in use by locals at the Uros floating islands on Lake Titicaca, Peru.

Ryan emailed in this photo of a fascinating pistol. It appears to be a homemade open bolt machine gun revolver.

This MAC-10 lookalike was captured by the Polish Police …

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

Two years ago I created a photoshoped mockup of a Remington 700 being fed from a 30 round AR-15 magazine. One reader was inspired by the picture and is recreating it while at working a local gunsmith over the summer.

Swedish police discovered a double barrel shotgun disguised as a guitar when they raided the home of a man suspected of dealing in stolen weapons.

This 12 gauge revolving is very impressive. Other than the barrel, chambers (made from old barrels) and the hammer (from a 1857 Remington revolver), this gun is completely homemade. It cocks using a lever underneath the action.

The Medieval period called and they want this kid back …

This video shows a modified off-the-shelf remote control Tricopter armed with fireworks, and firing them at hydrogen-filled balloons.

“bowhunter4e” has created a video tutorial on DIY. camo dipping (Hydrographing). I am inspired to give it a try. About half the items in my office, from my sunglasses to my stapler, would look better in camo 🙂
