Homemade Shotgun Built out of a Pipe and a Stapler

(Video Link)

YouTube user GatheringSticks is quite a garage machinist! He's built a functional single-shot 12 gauge shotgun from a pipe and a stapler. The firing pin is a sharpened drill bit and the shoulder rest is padded with a piece of a Croc.

That's the modern problem: these days they are keeping the idiots alive. Darwin is turning in his grave...

PS: Just saw the movie Idiocracy. ;)

Maybe he can use the left-over staples to close his facial lacerations.
He gets bonus points for painting it black - its a primordial AR.

even though, I bet he wishes he would have ponied up $150 on that used mossberg pump when the skin grafts start to itch.

This is a REALLY bad idea ... and probably illegal as well.

Actually, old defunct shotgun barrels are easily found, at gunshows, antique shops, or even some garbage dumps. That solves the pressure problem. The transplanted trigger mechanism from the stapler - good idea. Weak point: the lockup. Wouldn't ever shoot it from the shoulder, because that'd put the blowup right under your nose.
