Perhaps, but Pipe-gun are more reliable and durable

3D printing? yea you need the printer, the materials (which typically won't hold up to what it needs for a bullet being fired)

$$$$$

Plastic guns explode... Pipe-guns don't.

Firearm > Pipe gun > Flintlock > Printed gun

Yes!
You read correctly. Flintlock > Printed gun

pretty much

but you can give plastic gun a steel/metallic barrel can't you?

you can but that isn't what is being discussed in regards to a plastic gun

hell, give me a blunderbuss over a plastic gun lol

😂

nah give me

wheellock revolver

Yes, but we're talking about improvised firearms; and in that case it goes Pipe > Flintlock > Printed Custom > Pure Printed.

Fixed it. Pipe then flint.

yup

Pipe has faster reload and more accurate ammunition types

then you get one of these

or make

Even with a metal barrel you still have the issue of durability with Printed customs.

And to be honest in many cases Pipe is cheaper to fabricate anyway.

Wood? really?

brass i think

You could mould the parts from Alluminium once you have the wooden parts though. Why didn't they? (You can see the wood-grain)

Use the wooden cutouts to make a mould in sand. Then pour molten Alluminium over the mould

Simple

well yeah

You'd have to polish the cast Allumimium, but it would be very inexpensive if you recycled Drinks cans.

homemade zip gun

If they reproduced the wooden gun in cast Allumimium that'd be the perfect improvised firearm.

These appear to be Hammer-Pipe Guns, not the most efficient but very easy to craft.
