Zip guns

A crude weapon made usually in someones basement or garage where all the components of the gun are creatively constructed out of what is available to make the gun function. These are usaully made with such crude materials that often duct tape is even used to hold the thing together. It is usually designed to fire a low power cartridge that will not explode the barrel that is usually just pipe. Most zip guns are of .22 caliber or 12 Ga. shotgun as that is usually what is available in pipe sizes. The zip designation means that a rubberband has been used to propel a firing pin to ignite the cartridge. This method is most commonly used due the ease of finding rubberbands. This is not a hobbiest gun but a crude way to get ones hands on a gun usually to commit a murder or to be used in gang shootings or other such applications.

 

 

With the forthcoming chance of military weapons becoming "very rare", I think that these would be absolutely ideal addition to the game.  They should be wildy innacurate single-shot weapons, but 'easily' made with the right items.

 

 

 

Materials: A pipe, duct tape, wood/sticks, rubber band, etc.

Calibre: .22 or 12 gauge (see above)

Requires: Hacksaw, etc.

 

(They should probably also take minutes or more of in-game time to fashion, rather than the mere seconds it seems to take to make a splint or an improvised backpack!)

I am so excited to have much more of these in game and much less of M4, hunter backpack etc so people will bother to create them.
