improvised 12 gauge + crafted Co2 explosive shotgun shells

[Wookieenoob 191]

 

 

this would fit so well into the game.

 

 

you take a few of the many pipes lying around in every house to make a useful single fire shotgun, then screw on the AK buttstock or M4 buttstock you have lying in your inventory with no weapon to go with it.

 

you can improve shotgun rounds by adding CO2 cannisters to them to make them AOE.

 

 

what do you think?

I like the pipe gun as a craftable for sure, I do hope they add more improvised weapons in the future.  As for the shells, I hope they don't ever get into any improvised ammo really to be honest.  Even if they did though the co2 shells look pretty pointless :)

I doubt CO2 cartridge will detonate after collision with human body.

And then you watch your hands explode because you executed it poorly.....

HAHAHAHA..yep

 

Or, the CO2 cartridge forces the shell back towards your face, instead of into the target.

 

Home-rigged "improvised" cartridges, especially "explosive" shells? NOT EVEN ONCE.

 

Home-made firearms made from water-pipe? NOT EVEN ONCE. Do they exist in real life? Should the users consider themselves lucky every time they fire one and they don't lose and hand/face/eye due to the pipe exploding from the pressure? YES

shh

Cry more. "pipe-guns" and the like went out of use in the US  with the criminal element because "real" firearms became more widely available. After "Saturday Night Specials" (ie; cheap handguns) became available, criminals stopped using pipe-guns en-masse.

 

99% of "pipe-guns" suck ass. They don't have rifled barrels, are hard to hold and aim, and usually end up blowing up (and off) in the users hands. See that pipe-gun the guy uses in the video? No sights, he has to hold onto the barrel (have fun burning your hands!)

 

Pipe-guns are a truly awful idea to include in Day Z. If I had a choice between going unarmed and putting together a pipe-gun, I would choose to go unarmed.

If you use a pipe gun, you could become unarmed  :lol:

Alright, that got a chuckle out of me. Have some beans

Are we not some form of super being with the ability to perform open heart surgery all the while sniping with pinpoint accuracy while flying the latest in high-tech fighter jets and attack choppers?  Surely we can created a gun from chewing gum and rubber bands

First thing I do is put bubble gum in my shells.

it was more the idea of the single "pipe-looking" shotgun

 

 

it's not as bad as firing a shotgun shell in a flaregun

Pipe shotgun is a fine idea.

Make shift shotguns are used all over the world.

it'd be nice to have a shotgun that took up 3 spaces like the lead pipe.

Well how much space does a sawn off shotgun use ? I have never made one :D

It takes up four slots, horizontally.

Don't you think people would do pipe-guns in a zombie apocalipse?

 

I find it a rather good idea tbh

No, because they are almost universally dangerous. Do (and did) people make them? Yes, of course. Did their "pipe-guns" explode, and did the users lose hands, eyes, and their lives depressingly often? Yes.

 

Pipe-guns, with very few exceptions, are not worth it, to make or to use. Do you happen to know how much pressure a 12G shell gives off when fired, and if that length of pipe can handle it?

 

Do people make "backyard firearms", also known as "Chechnyan Firecrackers"? Yes, but they overwhelmingly look and function as real firearms, and are more reinforced and complex than "open pipe, insert bullet".
