You have been misinformed. Manufacturing guns and other powerful military weapons have been rather simple DIY projects for decades now. There are youtube videos showing the step by step home manufacturing process with tools and materials available at any hardware store or Ebay. "Largest Collection Of High Quality Combat Books On The Internet sten productionIntroduction A number of guns interest gun enthusiasts all over the world, from well-known names such as AK-47 to lesser known but still unique options such as the STEN gun. Some gun aficionados choose to purchase these guns—where legal—and others opt to build them at home." GUNPLANS.COM http://www.gunplans.com/sten-gun-history-and-blueprints
Yes, a while back I pasted up a Youtube video of a guy making a Sten from scratch in his garage. The plans are all over the internet.
Yep, just ask the idiots who went to the ER to get the bits of a extendable car antenna out of their face and eyes when they used their zip guns for the first time.
They are even manufacturing mortars and rocket launchers in South and Central America now. Probably easier than making a Sten.
And guys in Afghanistan living in tents with camels parked out back are literally building AK-47's with simple hand tools.
Much easier and one can buy the hardware needed at ACE and the propellants and explosives needed, legally online.
Stens, particularly early designs, are of simple design, requiring very few machined parts and were produced in large quantities not only for the Brit Army, but provided (dropped) in quantity to resistance groups throughout Europe in WWII and the plans for making them were distributed in even larger quantities, often as air dropped leaflets (where my plans I acquired in the late 60’s likely originated).
The problem with CJ is he like his screen name is a clown, and when it comes to firearms a lightly educated clown.
Evoke funny memories, that. In retrospect, I find it rather remarkable I survived my early years and didn’t Darwin out.
CJ, like the rest of us is in search of the truth. None of us know it all. Click rules - bottom right.
Incidents that are committed within a private residence, by an individual that actually resides within the residence, do not count as being a mass shooting. Not to those who are actually interested in intellectual honesty.
I'm not going to detail it, but the plumbing section at Ace can provide the hardware needed, when combined with simple chemicals bought online, something that can make a school shooting with a AR-15 seem amateur. Ban guns and that literally will become the next form of weaponry nut jobs will adapt to and the body count once deployed will be much more higher. Anti-gunners have no idea of what their dreams, if enacted, will produce.
I was certainly surprised at how easy it really is to find plans and videos when I researched this issue.
This place thrives on differences of opinion. Over time most of us will eventually learn when the facts are clearly revealed.
The weapons available at the local gun shops are very punk compared to what a DIY enthusiast can concoct on a garage workbench. IMO, gun ban schemes are all dangerous.
But weaponizing it would be a challenge, those tanks, by DOT rules are very strong and gasoline lacking an oxidizer doesn't explode unless vaporized just right.
Nah man the hardware store sells ready to go sten, suomi etc receivers. Is it a submachine gun? You can buy it at the hardware store if you've got some basic hand tools.
