Didn’t see this at the SHOT Show.

Just another example of what’s floating around on the streets out there (Alabama). If somebody wants to shoot somebody bad enough, they’ll find a way. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220209/b7774c3769f739412b7dcea4ad2f718c.jpg

Just run a search for "Zip Guns" and see the images that come up.

Most gang bangers are better equipped than that.

Looks like the remains of a .22 Winchester single shot. Nice piece. Throwaway?

For close work, no sights.

I love that sexy gloss vinyl coating.

Should have used one of those various colors of Duct Tape. Black tape is so old school.

Cut down single shot 22lr, 410's are liked better. They been making these for decades nothing new there.

Zip guns are full homemade guns that were popular in big cities Shop classes specialized making them in High School until hash pipes became the new desired project.

If you are ever around Angola Louisiana , stop in and see the Angola Musem at the Louisiana State Penitentiary ... Now Angola is known as "America's Bloodiest Prison" and the firearms and weapons those prisoners can produce while in there is nothing short of amazing ...they can take a marshmallow and make something to kill you with out of it ...anyway the musem is filled with inmate produced weapons ... very interesting to see .

When I saw the picture an old time phrase came back to me: belly gun. Careful with that exposed trigger, a guy could lose more than his sanity if it fired when not intended.

Years ago I read an article on similar firearms being made from Russian and German rifles dug up over the decades from the Gearman/Russian War areas during WWII. Much of the battlefields from Leningrad back to Germany was simply leveled and buried; leaving vast numbers of Russian and German bodies - along with the Arms they had. Supposedly, for several decades digging them up was the source of the Criminal Elements firearms in the old USSR and their Client "Buffer States".

By the way; I like that Tacti-Cool light for night time work.
