What you are describing is not a zip gun. A zip gun is an improvised firearm that typically, but not always, fires pistol cartridges (rifle or shotgun cartridge zip guns can and have been made, but they can be more sketchy to use and control). Zip guns are cobbled together from a pipe and some basic form of firing mechanism, etc.
- dontbenebby 4y agoThanks, you're correct, I apologize for being imprecise in my language. It's an improvised weapon... a zip gun like they taught us about in middle school English class would be more like if I used a mousetrap to trigger a .22 magnum shell down a short shaped piece of pipe into someone's skull from a range of under five yards, since the unrifled barrel causes whatever comes out to tumble and thus not fly straight very long.
