DIY Jailhouse Shotgun 1 Attachment(s) Shotgun made from iron bedposts; charge made of pieces of lead from curtain tape and match-heads, to be ignited by AA batteries and a broken light bulb. On May 21, 1984 two inmates of a prison in Celle, Germany, took a jailer as a hostage, showed off their fire power by letting go at a pane of bullet-proof glass, and escaped by car. http://www.marcsteinmetz.com/pages/f...stuecke01.html

Re: DIY Jailhouse Shotgun Get the old Jimmy Steward movie "Carbine Williams" to see what can be done behind bars. Williams invented and built covertly the first M1 Carbine while in a federal pen for killing a federal agent.

irony, satire, and sarcasm are often taken at face value on this board.... i always thought that was a little guy with headphones for the longest time, until i accidentally clicked on it and saw the code for it.... i never liked those smilies, personally.... :/ ETA: oh, yeah.... nice improvised shotgun, there! electronic ignition and improvised propellant? awesome....

Match stick heads. The cut the heads of the matches and packed em into the barrel; IIRC.

I guess it will always happen to some degree but its a shame that someone with the drive, ability and intelligence to make that from scratch was in jail in the first place. What a waste.

He was smart enough to do everything but get caught. :) But yes, you do have a point. Then again, with the modern legal system there are a million and one ways to get your butt landed in jail. I dont know what landed this guy in jail though.

Ahh yes the Kurt Saxon favorite. Here is one of my Kurt Saxson favorites: http://www.kurtsaxon.com/foods005.htm Thermos cooking. Don't need the wheat, just anything that will cook with boiling water. Awesome concept that saves energy.

Thats a cool article. I'm curious though, it says owning the item is illegal. I read on here once that building a from scratch fire-arm for your own use was legal as long as it wasnt made to sell or ship across state-lines. Anyone confirm or reference? Thanks

The 4 winds would be covered by NFA, not sure if destructive device or AOW, but definitely illegal to make without the tax stamp. You can make yourself a scratch built not covered by NFA no problem, or pay the tax and build a 4 winds, but why would any sane person spend $200 and register it just to build it?
