Impro Guns

It’s loaded with photos of improvised/home-made firearms from around the world. Some are *incredibly* crude. Some are extremely professional-looking. All serve as reminders that, no matter how poor you are or how restrictive and totalitarian the government, there are people who have the initiative and cleverness to take a box of scraps and turn it into something useful.

The triple-barreled shotgun pistol from Brazil actually looks kinda spiffy. Might just be a cut-down “professional” gun, though.
