A homemade shotgun, and it worked. That's just impressive.
:NOOOOO: Did you do it?
Mr. WhiteWaito-Sensei? Did you do it? :walter-shock: No, I didn't do it. I can't now. It's gonna have to be you. :NOOOOO: What?! No way, man! :walter-shock: Listen to me. You're closer than we are. You'll have about a 20 minute lead. They've got me at the laundry, and they're going to kill me. :walter-shock: Jesse-kun, do it now! Do it! Do it!
This is what they used to call a "zip gun" on 70s TV cop shows.
on the one hand, he did get off two shots, on the other hand a slamfire shotgun is a lot simpler and probably more powerful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrANue4V184
The slam fire shotgun is extremely simple but it uses shotgun shells which are easy to get in America but hard to get in Japan. This guy's gun might have had like homemade explosives manually packed in there. The smoke blast was huge
Yeah, that's probably the motivation. I don't know much about their gun laws but my understanding is that sporting shotguns are allowed so I figured it was at least plausible to get some ammunition. Wouldn't be able to get off two quick shots with a slamtube either.
get in loser, we're building a slamfire shotgun revolver
:ira:
which video did you see the smoke blast? the one I saw the guy is offscreen
seems like the first shot missed, and the hit occurs offscreen after the camera drops
Interesting I imagine the batteries were probably used to make a spark to ignite the propellant rather thatan impact activated primer. Crushed up match heads would make a decent propellant and also account for the amount of smoke in the video.

That's a guy who knows what he's doing. Stay hydrated, people.
