Oh mama, look, I'm in TV now 😂

“Sir do you have the proper backstop setup for shooting at?” “I have bucket”

I have the luck of living in Mexico in an area where there's a big presence of firearms, I am one of the few people in my town who knows how to make guns, and even though my .22lr pistol is very simple, it sure does show my friends and family members the amazing world of firearms, they don't see it as something bad, also there's no shortage of places to get ammo without a liscense, but it's because many people can't afford a liscense and want or have to go to hunt their own food, I wish I can one day start a firearms company to sell cheap rifles and shotguns for the farmers and all the people who live in the country-side.

Better workmanship than most home made designs, Looks like they actually took pride in what they were making

The Thompson & Luger's child is the apex of creativity! I would love to have all those masterpieces! Respect to the guys who made them.

"Its ok the Lumpson cant hurt you" the lumpson: I exist???

That toggle delayed Thompson is remarkable. I don't think I've seen anyone else use that mechanism. It's probably less reliable than regular blowback but it's definitely more cool from an engineering point of view.

Ah I was wondering where the sudden influx of views was coming from. Thanks for featuring my work! Making that toggle-delayed Thompson was my finest work, I think.

You saw a lot of this kind of thing in the Yugo Civil War back in the 90's, when the country broke into a half-dozen pieces. Machine shops would make "standard" designs and produce 50 or 100 subguns of a unique design often combining elements of Stens, MP-40's and ppsh.

that "toggle locked" beltfed was brilliant, I'd buy one...

The level of craftmanship beyond the average home workshop, but none the less inspirational to all of us.

These are absolutely stunning! What great pieces of art, I envy you. I'm still at school, I'm making gun replicas out of wood and am trying to replicate all the different mechanisms, adapt them for toys and try to create unique models based on antique examples of wierd mechanisms such as yours. But they banned me from making them and some classmates even stole and broke some of my projects. I hope one day I can express myself in this artform just as you do. There is too much stigma around it.

For anyone curious about these, or just gun design & gunsmithing in general. Please take a mental note that most of these designs are open bolt systems (meaning the bolt stays to the rear until the trigger is pulled). The main reason for this is because of the inherent simplicity and reliability that open-bolt systems provide (open-bolt designs also allow very easy and simple full-auto too). This is also how most WW2 era SMGs worked. Traditional closed bolt guns (like semi-auto pistols and most semi-auto rifles) need to chamber each cartridge from the mag, then keep it chambered until another mechanism hits the firing pin (hammer/striker usually), then they fire, eject the casing, rechamber the next round, and wait for the next trigger pull. Open-bolt systems don't need a complex hammer or striker mechanism, they technically don't even need a proper firing pin (just a small sharpish bump on the front of the bolt works, often called a "fixed firing pin"). In these systems the bolt just chambers a round from the mag and immediately fires it. Which results in ejection and blows the bolt backwards. At which point it will be caught by a small lip/edge (aka: the sear) connected to the trigger and held back until the next trigger pull. Alternatively if the bolt isn't caught by the sear it will just continue firing until the mag is empty or the gun malfunctions. Think of it like this, the trigger MAKES a closed-bolt gun fire, while on open-bolt guns, the trigger just prevents it from firing until pulled. Because there are fewer parts in open-bolt guns, there's also less to go wrong. This makes the design and their construction much easier. There is less to malfunction or break, and also they require less precision to build. Technically open-bolt bolt guns need extra parts to be semi-auto (without a disconnect mechanism, between the trigger and sear, the gun will fire full-auto until the trigger is released). While closed-bolt guns need extra bits to fire full-auto. First, a part to repeatedly drop the hammer/striker once the bolt is closed, and they generally also need a mechanism to prevent dropping the hammer/striker UNTIL the bolt is fully closed (though these functions can technically be combined into 1 complex part, usually called an auto-sear). The big downside to open-bolt guns is their accuracy and lower safety. Because that heavy bolt needs to move before the gun shoots it can throw off precision shots & because the gun WANTS to fire immediately it can accidentally fire significantly more easily. Basically if you drop an open-bolt bolt gun it can fire, even uncocked (if the bolt bounces open enough to pickup a cartridge, or if it's already cocked a drop can knock the bolt off of the sear). If you don't pull the bolt back far enough to catch the sear while cocking it, then it will also load and fire a round. Closed bolt guns are more common as modern military and civilian rifles/pistols because of their higher safety and accuracy. But that comes at the cost of being more complex and expensive to design and build.

The toggle top Thompson is just awesome!

These work better than some of the $1000-$4000 dollar firearms I have bought over the years! Nothing but respect for the skill the creators of the fine Firearms have. Always Respect Skill and talent to create!

That toggle lock Thompson style gun is a work of art. It's a shame there's not a lot of toggle lock guns on the market anymore. Such a cool operating system.

Awesome compilation with accurate descriptions, thank you

Great content. I love seeing what genius ideas people are tinkering away on in their garages. Excellent compilation

Some of these look like finished items of an acceptable quality and are quite impressive, I like seeing some parts that are nicely machined and also i like the forthought and effort put into the finish of the gun as a whole, it's cool enough for me to potentially take a look at getting the skills and licensing requirements to do this myself legally, I'd love to be able to make a finely crafted firearm from scratch, all the wood stock and scroll work too. It would be fantastic.

Absolutely beautiful looking firearms. That is some real craftsmanship right there.

Интересно смотреть за вашим творчеством, простые и оригинальные решения! Вам стоит подумать как сделать замедлитель темпа стрельбы в режиме full auto очень большая скорость получилась. P.s. стреляя в ведро с тряпками наверно испортили пол 😂

0:36 who’d a known a bucket full of towels would make a perfect silencer ? XD

The single shot semi auto was way cooler than i thought itd be when i first read it

Absolutely great video especially if you have the firearm virus, RIP ROGER KOTANKO !👍

Love it absolutely wonderful seeing such craftsmanship! 😊

Why yes, I believe in Toggle Bolt Supremacy.

Your crafting is next level brother, not much of a gunsmith myself but that open bolt 22 pistol looked amazing

You do damn good work, it's not easy a reliable Rimfire fully automatic! Well done!

Some impressive amateur gunsmiths out there. Very nice. You know most of them are NOT in the US LOL

Lmao I saw the thumbnail with the Thompson lookalike with the toggle action and literally said “what the FUCK” 😂 mad respect, that is dope

The toggle Thompson was freaking awesome ❤

Will you take apart each weapon to show us how it works in detail? Would be very interesting!

Those were made with some serious tooling. definitely needed mills and lathes, don't know what sort of heat treatment was applied to the individual parts (if any at all), finish looks clean on many of those like the toggle-locked Thompson lookalike with barely any marks from milling left, so someone definitely put not only time, effort, decent metalworking skills but also took pride in what they're doing. Firearms should be legal for every law-abiding citizen.

Im extremely impressed with your work. I hope your proud of your craftsmanship

Remember you don’t have to be the one that changes the world, but maybe the spark that creates change

Man they're really nice my brother easy to do as easy as Ur gb 22 lol I would love to see plans for these is there any chance or not

блин !! как все изящно и продуманно !! прекрасно что можно осуществлять планы из детства ...легально :) залип на весь вечер у вас на канале , особенно понравилсся вот этот ПА , пдердставляю объем работы по подгонке , однажды сын маминой подруги из интернета сделал монтекристо на 22 на коленке без токарки напилинга было много ,

These designs are so wacky! I love it! Especially the toggle delayed guns.

GENIUS...😮

kinda like the tommyluger

2:45 bro lititlery makes the mini Thompson version

Some of these designs look like they was made in actual gun factory. Professionally designed.

Thanks, Enjoyed. Been a hobbyist machinist for decades myself.

When you thought you've seen it all, but then they had to create the luger Thompson

Some of these are 'Ramos' designs. He had line illustrations of his designs published in the 70's - 80's. Interesting to see.

As an American, this is truly amazing, ive seen "Home-made guns" before that look, work, and fire like shit, but this is someone who took the time to design and create something, you can tell he loves his craft.

These are actually super nice quality for home made guns. Nice! Love it. Also, this is why gun bans won't work lol

That was the coolest gun video I've seen yet

You will never get rid of guns, ever.

That toggle lock is awesome

Came for the alleuring title, stayed for the awesome looking designs, but was left shocked by the fact that a bucket of fabric is able to stop a burst of rounds lol

Loving that .45 Thompson with the Luger p08 toggle system, very cool!

outstanding workmanship great job keep up the good work

Хотел спросить- в системе с рычагами как у Люгера ствол подвижный или рычаги просто стоят не на одной прямой а уже немного выведены из мертвой точки?

4:17 "Mom, can we have a Mauser? "No, we have Mauser at ho-" "Fine, i'll do it myself"

I like that flapper lock 9mm.

Wife-"What you do to your new shirts already? Such gopnik you are!"

Holy crap is that Thompson so fucking cool

Nature finds a way.

Love knowing we're everywhere. And Americans will always be armed

4:37 I want those blueprints lol, he made it PERFECTLY, one of my favorite guns done right

Excellent, you are very talented. The toggle action is Great ! Keep up the good work.

Пистолет на 2:10 просто шедевр. Реально очень красивый

Some great engineering and design skills here

2:19 this pistol is amazing. Love it. Would be so fun to own one.

There should be a book with all these recipes

Pode mostrar mais essa 22cal open bolt semi-auto ,mostrar ela desmontada e os mecanismos internos 😊😊😊 gostei do projeto ❤

Ingénieux du Luger au thomson les mécanismes

Absolutely pegged those floor tiles💀💀💀💀

I love seeing the penderson action on new rifles

Some of these are genuinely beautiful

5:04 if the Luger and Thompson had a baby

Well done ! Should get an N.R.A. award ❤

The toggleson is one gun I didn't know I wanted

Виталий,великолепная работа,видно что делаете с душой,👍👍👍🤝

Me picking my clothes up from the drycleaners: 👁👄👁

the braap at 2:14 was impressive like mini A-10 😄

I love that little Thomson. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

02:15 Man, what a burst!!

The first one was awesome, I plan to make one like that, but I want a nine millimeter. That design , I believe, gives you more room for the trigger and moving parts, and somehow better ease of loading and expelling the bullets. You know, the one with the magazine in front of the trigger.

that shit at 2:15 sounded like a damn mini A-10 LMAO

The .22 cal open bolt select fire looks like a smaller more compact version of the smith&wesson m76.

The Founding Fathers of America are smiling down from Heaven upon these epic craftsmen.

The toggle-lock Thompson. The Toggleson if you will

that open bolt 22 is actually pretty nice

Therapist: "Luger-Thompson isn't real, it can't hurt you". *Luger-Thompson: **5:05*

Sgnr.Mondragon was only one of many talented gun designers from Mexico, which has some interesting gun law clauses that allow .22LR in pistol carry and also manufactured fully automatic 1911 style models for local and foreign sale

Oh my god, a Thompson had a baby with a Borchardt!

Grandpa: Pull my finger👉 2:15

Came for the Lumpson, was not disappointed.

The guns are cool, but the bucket catch is king 😂

the belt fed machine gun at the end is essentially how an original maxim gun operates

Would that suppression bucket thing work on 9mm or 556?

This is proof that there will always be firearms! people all around the world have made workable firearms at small shops and in garages, millions of people have machine shop, tool & die experience, drafting experience, blacksmithing skills and metallurgy skills, there will be firearms as long as people want them, the people in this video are most likely in countries where firearms are illegal and yet look what they have accomplished.

I want one of those blank firing mini toys those things are awesome

PA Luty would be proud

Literally a criminal genius 😂

Free peoples are alive and armed

Now this is a remarkable collection of inspiration, will be studying them, thanks for sharing, keep up the Lord's work

Started my journey of creating. And i love it but i often get confused. Im working on single action but I dont have much tools like profeccional ones. What do you think?
