I had a chance to visit Hire Arms in Johannesburg - a movie arms supply company. Among many other things in their collection, they had an assortment of extremely crude handmade firearms confiscated from poachers in Zimbabwe. As something we don't see much of here in the US, I thought they were pretty interesting, even if just in a train wreck sort of way. So I pulled out a couple of the most unusual to put on camera.

@@jacobthompson3605 I think that's the opposite actually. Pipe weapons are terribly portrayed in FO4. For "Makeshift" and "Hand crafted" weapons, it sure is dumb that they all have the exact same receiver, have the same magazine on the side and accept the exact same .38 ammo. The whole point of homemade weapons is to make use of what's available to the maker. Did everyone in post-apocalypse Boston have access to the same rusted iron pipes, comically oversized screws and .38 ammo? Did everyone suddenly decide side-loading magazines are the way of the future? Why the fuck can they only accept .38 or, rarely, .45 at most? If your game portrays makeshift, homemade pipe weapons as things that come out of a factory production line, it's best not to have them on the first place.

Joel Filho but they do have variations to them It’s just that it’s very common to find pipe weapons that use 38. Bullets because that’s the most common type of ammo to find in the wasteland but there are some pipe weapons that you can find that have a different receiver and other modifications

Joel Filho there’s a guns and bullets magazine you can find called “street weapons of Detroit” and it shows a pipe pistol on the cover so someone who studied how Detroit gangsters built these guns built a couple and people went from there, breaking them apart to learn how to make them to adding their own modifications to them

The last one (the blown up one) is from a Belgian rifle, probably obtained from Mozambique. I imagine it used some nitro powder out of a shotgun cartridge. The others are like West African 'Dane guns'. Car steering columns for barrels. Traditionally Morris Minor steering columns. Morris once sent out a rep to find out why West Africa was needing so many spare steering columns. Made from good seamless steel tubing. People laugh at such things (and I wouldn't fire one ever) but how good a gun could you make in your garage with just a hacksaw, hammer, file and a simple forge fire? I respect the makers even as I fear to use the resultant firearm.

"but how good a gun could you make in your garage with just a hacksaw, hammer, file and a simple forge fire" You're looking at it - 16th and 17th century "crude" firearms; the quality of tools and materials necessarily dictates the type of firearm you can produce. These guys are (mostly) making muzzle-loading, percussion-fired weapons because that's as advanced (mostly) as these people produce with the crude and rough equipment and materials they have with which to produce them :) The other part of the equation is general education - most poachers that are in the field are from places with incredibly abysmal literacy rates and virtually no access to decent education of any sort, so their grasp on principles such as physics and mechanics are a little... tenuous. Some of the poachers who've worked other trades, e.d. miners or other heavy industry-type work, will often apply whatever limited scope of experience they have to the weapons they have to craft, which is why a lot of them tend to produce percussion-fired muzzle-loading weapons rather than other solutions that could use less resources (e.g. wood or paper cartridges, locking breaches, etc).

If education in Africa was brought up to European standards, the average IQ in Africa would be very similar if not identical to the European average. Rule of law is still not present (and was not introduced by colonial powers) in many African countries, which explains most of the problems there. I'm not saying anyone is racist, I'm just stating the fact that the governments of Britain and France should have put a lot more thought into the decolonization process.

Whilst in Zimbabwe, our hunting group came upon two, local young guys that the local tribe or clan had retained to halt poaching. This was in 2012 and after the most high and Exalted Great Elephant Robert Mugabwe had instituted his chaotic and disruptive land reform policy. But I digress, to a point. The locals wanted to have game available for out-of-country hunters such as myself to generate revenue and meat for the local community. These two young guys had rifles that were either nailed or wired together. The thought of touching off a round in one of those rifles was a scary prospect. The young game “wardens” were the most pleasant and polite young men. Fond memories of the land and people in Zimbabwe.

I have seen 50 inch Kudu, leopard, hippo, crocodiles and a large range of smaller antelope taken with instruments just like these.

@@pirobot668beta Britain bungled Somalia's transition to independence. The US and Russia used Somalia as a Cold War Proxy conflict and flooded it with weapons while inciting violence. As usual the US left without fixing, after creating instability themselves. There was a brutal Civil War and in a power vacuum in a country full of weapons the most domineering/violent philosophy took over, aka Islamic extremists.

@Succ my T0ES Hmmm, being in a civil war, power vacuum. Lot's of guns and violence and atrocities being committed. Governments across the world turning you away when you plead for help, ask for a safer place to live. If you even manage to leave the country. Survival instinct kicks in eventually. I think if you or I got desperate enough to life and eat, we'd do some pretty savage things too. I had to survive IRL at points in my early life, it was brutal. I'd have killed if that was what it took. Fuck, I just enjoyed playing DOOM. Running around like a maniac, Rip and Tear. Enjoying the power fantasy and _some_ of that feeling of surviving. Cause it is still part of human nature. And if you think that people in power don't know that they are causing these things. Then I'd advise you to go read around on wikileaks.

@Stale Bagelz Poaching can be a very lucrative activity, and in many cases is run by gangs of criminals and/or actual warlords. Much like drug dealers in the U.S.(or anywhere), some are "just trying to survive" but many are lured to the lifestyle of fast money and quick thrills. Sometimes criminal behavior is the result of a personality disorder like sociopathy, and there is no remorse or concern for other living things. I'm out of work right now with this corona virus thing, and since you're such a bleeding-heart would it be okay in your eyes for me to break into your house for stuff to sell to a pawn shop to put food on my family's table?
