  15. PIPE PISTOL FOR 9 MM AMMUNITION
  16.  
  17. A 9 mm pistol can be made from 1/4" steel gas or water pipe and fittings.
  18.  
  19. MATERIALS REQUIRED:
  20. -------------------

  24. Two (2) steel pipe couplings
  25. Metal strap - roughly 1/8" x 1/4" x 5"
  26. Two (2) elastic bands
  27. Flat head nail - 6D or 8D (approx. 1/16" diameter)
  28. Two (2) wood screws #8
  29. Wood 8" x 5" x 1"
  30. Drill
  31. 1/4" wood or metal rod, (approx. 8" long)
  32.  
  33. PROCEDURE:
  34. ----------
  35.  
  36. 1. Carefully inspect pipe and fittings.
  37.  
  38. a. Make sure that there are NO cracks or other flaws in the pipe or fittings.
  39.  
  40. b. Check inside diameter of pipe using a 9 mm cartridge as a gauge. The
  41. bullet should closely fit into the pipe without forcing but the cartridge
  42. case SHOULD NOT fit into pipe.
  43.  
  44. c. Outside diameter of pipe MUST NOT BE less than 1 1/2 times bullet diameter
  45. (.536 inches; 1.37 cm)
  46.  
  47. 2. Drill a 9/16" (1.43 cm) diameter hole 3/8" (approx. 1 cm) into one
  48. coupling to remove the thread.
  49.  
  50. Drilled section should fit tightly over smooth section of pipe.
  51.  
  52. 3. Drill a 25/64" (1 cm) diameter hole 3/4" (1.9 cm) into pipe. Use cartridge
  53. as a gauge; when a cartridge is inserted into the pipe, the base of the case
  54. should be even with the end of the pipe. Thread coupling tightly onto pipe,
  55. drilled end first.
  56.  
  57. 4. Drill a hole in the center of the pipe plug just large enough for the nail
  58. to fit through.
  59.  
  60. NOTE: Hole MUST be centered in plug.
  61.  
  62. 5. Push nail through plug until haed of nail is flush with square end. Cut
  63. nail off at other end 1/16" (.158 cm) away from plug. Round off end of nail
  64. with file.
  65.  
  66. 6. Bend metal strap to "U" shape and drill holes for wood screws. File two
  67. small notches at top.
  68.  
  69. 7. Saw or otherwise shape 1" (2.54 cm) thick hard wood into stock.
  70.  
  71. 8. Drill a 9/16" diameter (1.43 cm) hole through the stock. The center of the
  72. hole should be approximately 1/2" (1.27 cm) from the top.
  73.  
  74. 9. Slide the pipe through this hole and attach front coupling. Screw drilled
  75. plug into rear coupling.
  76.  
  77. NOTE: If 9/16" drill is not available cut a "V" groove in the top of the stock
  78. and tape pipe securely in place.
  79.  
  80. 10. Position metal strap on stock so that top will hit the head of the nail.
  81. Attach to stock with wood screw on each side.
  82.  
  83. 11. String elastic bands from front coupling to notch on each side of the
  84. strap.
  85.  
  86. SAFETY CHECK - TEST FIRE PISTOL BEFORE HAND FIRING

  90. behind in case the pistol ruptures when fired.
  91.  
  92. 2. Mount pistol solidly to a table or other rigid support at least ten feet
  93. in front of the barrier.
  94.  
  95. 3. Attach a cord to the firing strap on the pistol.
