The $2 9mm ZIP gun

Found this little gem today, thanks to Say Uncle.

A $2 Zip gun.

What you need?

Rubber dishwashing gloves

A 3/8ths inch female to female coupling

A 2″ 3/8ths inch pipe

A 3/8ths to 1/4-inch adapter

A drill bit wrapped in duct tape (a 10- to 16-penny nail or similar will suffice in lieu of the drill bit)

A round of 9mm ammo, with the case wrapped in duct tape.

Want to know the best part?

If you make this for your personal use only, it’s completely legal. You can’t sell it or give it away, because that would be “manufacturing” according to ATF rules and regs.

You shouldn’t even “turn it in” at the next gun buyback, wink wink.

Having said that, we would STRONGLY recommend not carrying one around with the cartridge loaded in the ZIP gun as it may go off unexpectedly if you bump the nail/drill bit at the wrong time.

Here’s the how-to video. Not even 2 minutes long, with a catchy tune playing in the background!

I see a trip to Menards in my future!
