I saw that video and it was a joke. People have been making better zip

A single shot, smoothbore like that gun is trivial to make,
particularly if you only plan on shooting it once or twice.

You go first ;-)

Now you've done it. I was hoping Herring would give it a try.

I made a very serviceable 12ga shotgun when I was about 13. We found a
box of shells in the woods and wanted to find a way to shoot them.
All 25 went down range without a hitch or a blown off finger.
When my dad found it he made me take it apart because it was clearly a
NFA34 violation. (the barrel was too short and overall length was too)

The strange thing is, I could have registered it as an OAW for $5 if I
was old enough.

Heck, used to make 22's with a car antenna and a piece of 2x4, a nail
and a rubber band.
