"You can achieve more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word"

Al Capone

The legendary gangster had every reason to say so. After all, the possession of a weapon immediately makes its bearer more confident, resolute and, unfortunately, bolder. And if conditions are created in the country that the chance to run into the same carrier of a firearm is high, then involuntarily you begin to limit yourself and not bury yourself. But if either the privileged strata have weapons, or those who don’t give a damn about laws and regulations, then everything becomes much sadder. But you really want to have a real opportunity to repay the aggressor with the same coin ... Unfortunately, home-grown "kulibins" who, with their shit, sticks and pipes, are building something that by some miracle can shoot. This is a very unsightly, single-shot, often low-power weapon, from which you can only shoot yourself. And in order to cause real harm to the enemy, you need to try very hard. But this does not stop the people, so the police annually seize a huge amount homemade pistols who have been in business or not yet. Not far behind them are correctional officers, who are periodically fired at with such improvised weapons in order to escape. That is why homemade pistols and our today's photo selection will be devoted to.

Once alone with nature, you have to survive by getting food with the help of improvised means. It is good if you have a cold weapon or a hunting rifle with you. Once in a situation where there is neither one nor the other, you can make a weapon out of wood with your own hands.

Almost any weapon can be made from wood: a bow, a crossbow for hunting, a knife, a spear, a spear, a slingshot, an ax and even a gun. More details on how to make weapons from wood are discussed below.

Homemade wooden knife

The choice of material for the manufacture of weapons is a very important task.

• Birch is a strong and unyielding material, it is better to make clubs from it.
• Aspen, poplar and pine are softer, lend themselves well to various types of processing.
• But the most suitable for homemade wood is oak. Oak wood is well processed, light in weight, durable, does not lose its characteristics over time.

Before making a blank, you need to choose a material that does not contain knots, rotten areas, curvature, heterogeneity of fibers, then dry it without exposure to direct sunlight. When the material is ready, a weapon blank is made.

Do-it-yourself wooden slingshot

The simplest weapon made of wood is a slingshot. With the help of this throwing weapon, you can hunt birds and small game, and for the manufacture you need a minimum of materials - a strong elastic band or tourniquet, and a branch with a fork (it is better to use hazel).

The fork is cut off from the main part of the trunk of the desired size, polished, a tourniquet is attached to both ends. For reliability, small cuts can be made at the ends of the slingshot so that the tourniquet does not slip off.

wooden club

A similarly simple weapon is a wooden club. The disadvantage of this projectile is that for its use it is necessary to keep a short distance, which can be very difficult during hunting. To make a club, you need to use a young tree, cut down closer to the root, where the wood is the most durable. The bark, all knots, are carefully removed from the surface of the workpiece, it is soaked for a day in water, then dried over a fire to blackness, which is then removed by grinding with sand and grass. This procedure must be done several times, resulting in a durable baton that does not rot.

DIY wooden knife

An equally sophisticated homemade weapon is a wooden knife. It can be cut in one piece from a wooden block, or it can be made from two components. To do this, you need to put a sketch of the workpiece on wooden blocks, then cut it out with a hacksaw. After that, both parts are glued into a single whole. If the manufacture of a wooden knife is carried out in field conditions, then, as a rule, there is nothing to glue the components with. Therefore, it is cut from a single bar.

The blade is well sharpened and carefully polished, after which it must be burned on fire, giving it strength. If possible, you can make a lacquer coating of the knife, then it will not be afraid of moisture.

Wooden bow and crossbow

A bow or crossbow is an effective weapon in the forest, made of wood. There are many video examples of making a crossbow that describe the entire process in detail. First, the body of the crossbow is cut with a groove for the arrow. An arc will be attached to one end of the body, and a trigger mechanism will be made at one third of the other end. The arc is best made from several layers of plywood glued together, which are bent after drying. You can make it out of metal. At both ends of the arc of the crossbow, you need to make holes for attaching the bowstring. The arc is fastened to the body with a strong rope, if it is not at hand, with a wire. The bowstring is attached to the arc in such a way that it passes closely over the body, but does not touch it. The task of the trigger mechanism is to capture the bowstring and its sharp descent. The design of the mechanism can be made in the form of a wide arc or a complex system of hooks.

Arrows for crossbows are made of resilient wood, they are given a cylindrical shape, after which they are polished. The tip can be made of wood, metal or stone.

It is possible to manufacture not only “cold” weapons from wood. You can make something like a pistol or a gun, but you need to understand that it will not last long. The algorithm for making a pistol is simple: you need to make a frame from wood to which the barrel is attached, as well as a trigger mechanism with a striker, you can add a magazine. A metal tube is used as a barrel.

Shooting toys can be easily bought at the store, but you can successfully make them yourself. On the pages of the Secret of the Master website, various designs of cool toys are considered, from the simplest to more complex ones, which, in addition to gaming and experimental purposes, can be of practical use, for example, in protecting crops from pests in the country.

Hello, dear lovers of homemade weapons. By visiting this page, you probably expected to see information on making a homemade air rifle? I have to disappoint you - there is no such one here now. No, of course, it used to be, and we talked in detail about how you could make an air rifle with your own hands at home, but, as always, out of the blue, a notification from Roskomnadzor came, demanding to immediately delete all information on the manufacture of an air rifle from our site. Frankly, I was somewhat surprised by such a requirement. After all, pneumatics has nothing to do with the production of homemade firearms and explosives, which is prohibited in the Russian Federation. Although maybe I missed something? And now even homemade pneumatics fell under the category of prohibited information? It seems that the fight against terrorism has gone beyond the bounds of rationality, and is taking on the form of absurdity.

More recently, I had to remove information about a homemade flamethrower. Well, this can be explained somehow. After all, the combustible mixture used in a flamethrower can be completely bottled by making a battery of Molotov cocktails. I have not found any more reasons why it would be worth deleting this info. Okay, let it be that the flamethrower itself is a terrible weapon of a terrorist, which he will definitely use, having read my instructions, instead of, say, a homemade bomb, or a Kalashnikov assault rifle, so I deleted everything without further questions. But pneumatics! Who did she hurt? Honestly, it's easier to kill than from the air rifle design that was described on this site.

I expressed my bewilderment in a letter to Roskomnadzor, but have not yet received a response. Revision of the court decision, you need to wait three months. If, after this time, they decide that the homemade design of an air rifle is o-o-very dangerous for publication, then, to my deep regret, you will continue to read these lines.

In the meantime, dear friends, you can take an interest in other designs of cold and cold throwing weapons by clicking on the links below, or by pointing the cursor at the corresponding button at the top left.
