BlowbAK Pistol

[herbie3876]

you should make a video showing how to build it

[GLAORleader]

You did a better job at making a simple rifle than Kalashnikov - Good job.

[Ibringthetruth1]

you need to build a rifle and a shotgun now.

[Weaponnator]

Very Good it needs a top cover and a spring but in all good work

[marko03033]

to strong bullets,be safe!!!

[Tomatoebruce]

Awsome pisto my friendl!

 It`s built without welding, isn`t it?

One question: how does it eject the cartrige? is there an ejector or is the cartrige just smased against the following rounds and the backsite of the magazine and thrown out this way?

[0rionsHammer]

@Tomatoebruce No welding involved, although I think I need to weld in the magazine well. There's an ejector, just a little knob sticking up from the trigger guard/mag latch piece. There's no extractor, though--the cartridge rockets out of the chamber under its own pressure!

[ELITEHAMSTER123]

Your .22 model, did you ever get it to cycle reliably?

[0rionsHammer]

@ELITEHAMSTER123 Nope. I haven't played with it in years, so I'm not sure if it's the crappy chambering job or just a too-heavy bolt.

[ThePavles]

How did you made this ??

[nickliewwc]

nice one...modified from a stapler? i do think it have more accuracy if u replace the barrel with a longer one...

[762hillboy]

good job i like the ppsh mag in it.

[EmperorOfMars]

Holy shit rubber band

[thegodfather963]

gotta admit dat is pretty gangsta

[etucker5007]

"pretty dang good" lol

[randallcaster]

If you google homemade smg you'll get 2 pics of mine. From firearm blog.

I'm from Romania.

[unknown1730]

@randallcaster Do you think you could make a video of the gun fired? Would love to see the rate of fire.

[randallcaster]

Looks like it's based om a CZ.

[suckaniggasdick]

How do you protect your hand from possible explosions?

(aside from the gardening glove lol)

[WatchRyder]

Suberb work and skill on that.

I can see you are a navigator when it comes to this sort of thing :)

[andyboy4707]

You are amazing at making things

[andyboy4707]

Wow, you are really skilled

[theCumdrinker]

Are you gonna eventually make one that is 100% homemade (Not including the barrel)?

[0rionsHammer]

Absolutely! I've been experimenting with button-rifling DOM tubing, and casting aluminum, to make my own barrels.

[simon12194]

@0rionsHammer When you gonna make a new video?

[MrBadhorse777]

hey mate, ive been reading ur posts on weaponeer, im impressed by ur build i have a question.. the front trunnion i know u made it from aluminum, has this peice been chambered as well? or just this just simply hold the chambered barrel in place?

[0rionsHammer]

@MrBadhorse777

Nope, in this build the front trunnion just holds the chambered steel barrel in place. I've experimented with directly chambering aluminum, and it looks promising for pistol rounds, and my one cast test barrel survived quite a few rounds, although I'm not sure how long the rifling would last...

[envythree]

rubber bands? that seems rather unsafe

[0rionsHammer]

@envythree They're ugly, but if they break, the bolt just doesn't go back into battery. The round will fire, the bolt will slam back against the rear trunnion, and that's it.

My next incarnation includes space for two internal recoil springs...

[nunvikingsofthesea]

@0rionsHammer does the bolt lock when the round is being fired?  or is it a pure blowback?

[0rionsHammer]

@nunvikingsofthesea Pure 100% blowback operation: no bolt lugs to fabricate, no receiver wings to align, no parts in tension to break off and kill you. Plus, the headspace is set automatically, because the bolt just pushed forward until it's stopped by the round. The only downside is the weight, with the bolt weighing about 1.5 pounds for this pistol round. For rifle rounds, the blowback design equations indicate you'd need a ridiculously heavy bolt...

[nunvikingsofthesea]

@0rionsHammer hey great build, very impressed, I was also wondering, did you manage to make an extractor for it? Or is there no extractor on the bolt?

[nunvikingsofthesea]

@nunvikingsofthesea by extractor I mean the claw thing on the front of the bolt that takes hold of the rim of the case.

[cloudycolacorp]

That's a real man's pistol

[Shazee083]

wow how you make an ak pistol you have the blueprints

[hornet1045]

you said you planned on making another version with iron sights, are you going to go through with that? maybe release a mag dump video or a build/breakdown video?

[MRs8607718]

i like it and im thinking of making my own and im only 14.. eat that mw2 pussies

[0rionsHammer]

@MRs8607718

In the US, you can't buy a pistol until you're 21, so you can't legally *build* a pistol until you're 21 either. You can definitely get a headstart by modding out airsoft guns, though...

[MRs8607718]

@0rionsHammer hmmm you are right! i should start by doing that then i could see what i can accomplish at that age thanks!

[halopartyboy]

7.62? isnt that a little big for a pistol on power?

[0rionsHammer]

@halopartyboy

7.62x25 Tokarev is a tiny little bottleneck round, only a bit longer than 9mm. 7.62x39 (AK), 7.62x51 (308), and 7.62x54R (Mosin) are all much bigger rifle rounds.

[unknown1730]

I wish Philip Luty was free, he probably would have figured out how to make one of these 100% homemade! But I will say, its a good bloody effort despite those god damn rubber bands!!

[taylorzack78]

what are the rubber bands for is it for the recoil spring

[0rionsHammer]

Yup! I still haven't gotten around to cleaning that up, either--too many other projects happening...

[0rionsHammer]

@taylorzack78

Sorry, I'd need a federal firearms license to make guns for sale. Build your own!

[MrPencilTitS]

@taylorzack78 Probably not, look you cant see the part where the rubber bands are fastened to move with the charging handle so its probably to help hold on the receiver.

[bo0o0ms]

In your PDF about the gun you said that there were no extracters required. Does the shell get deformed from the gases?

[0rionsHammer]

@bo0o0ms There's no visible bulging on the fired cartridges, but I'm sure they get stretched at least a few thousands of an inch bigger.

Blowback action definitely does not require an extractor during a normal firing cycle, although it'd be handy to unload the thing without firing it!

[kyle82386]

that is so gansta,.......i must add one to my collection

[floppydodo]

just read your build pages, big well done. Lovely gun

[nuttyape]

lol that is awesom

[pwnage666]

What a nice pistol, but i'd be scared of those rubber bands giving in. Do you think it's possible to make your own fire control group?

[rune111500]

ahh i see the rubber bands pull the slide forward after each shot....but dont u think theyll wear out after a while?

[mtiulii]

საღოლ

[TheHiddenPart]

I've been looking at your thread on Weaponeer Forums.

That thing is begging for a parkerizing job.

[goodgod09]

thank you for getting back at me man it helped..

[jackingoffkills]

anyways.. i do believe im going to get to work this week and maybe tweak this design a lil, not sure about the tokarev ammo though kinda rare here

[0rionsHammer]

Neat! The same design should work fine for any autoloader pistol cartridge--9mm, 40 S&W, 45acp. You'd just need to find a compatible barrel and magazine...

[goodgod09]

did u have to order anyparts off line for your design? and if so tell me?

[0rionsHammer]

The fire control group, pistol grip, magazine, and barrel are commercial, ordered parts. I build everything else--the receiver, trunnions, bolt, and firing pin.

[BlackHawk2029]

@0rionsHammer

You think i'd be able to find most of that stuff at a gun show?

Also, do you know of any high capacity (right around 25-30 rounds is what I'm looking for) magazines for .45acp?

[0rionsHammer]

Mail order seems to be the way to go--gunshows sometimes have some decent parts, but not very often!

Thompson submachine gun magazines are probably where it's at for 45acp hi-cap. They're double-stack, and hence a little tricky to get to feed properly, but should work with my basic design, and they're only about $20 each!

[freerun4fun]

wich Fire Control Group you useing in your BlowbAK Pistol ?

[0rionsHammer]

It's the AK fire control group. They're very reliable and cheap.

[ARTONY92]

what kind of cartridge is 7.62 tokarev? is it centerfire or rimfire?

[0rionsHammer]

Centerfire. It's basically a stretched and necked-down 9mm case firing a 30cal projectile. Muzzle energy is around 500 ft-lb, about like 357 magnum.

[ARTONY92]

thanks, is it legal to buy a homemade (on somebody's own machine) reciever for an ak so i can make a firearm out of it?

[DanishM1Garand]

Yes it is legal under Federal Law. Your state may ban this pistol under "Assault Weapons" laws. If in a Pistol Registration state you may need paperwork from the police to build it first.

Of course this shows the fallacy of gun control laws. You can build anything you want if you don't follow the law.

[ARTONY92]

thank you, my dad has been bugging me to find out :D

[0rionsHammer]

Ah, I think it's legal to buy a used homemade gun, but the maker needs a federal manufacturer's license to build them for intentional sale. Building guns for your own personal use is OK.

[ARTONY92]

@0rionsHammer- do you know of any homemade gun projects that are very simple, but are more than just a little zip gun? i like what you built here, but was thinking more along the lines of a .32 ......

[ARTONY92]

can i have one? pleeeeeaaaase?

[ARTONY92]

how is it that the bolt didn't fly out the top?

[0rionsHammer]

It's tough to see, but there's a chunk of angle iron sticking out above the pistol grip to stop the bolt's rearward travel. The weaponeer link in the description has pictures...

[ARTONY92]

oh now i see, looks very well made

[MrBlueglove]

Awsome!

good work!

nice video!

[star112345]

i'd totally buy one, awesome

[Dietzeeeee]

anyway you can get a umm.... recoil spring in there besides just rubber bands?

[DMGunn45]

Looks good. I'd like to see a little more detail, a thread on Weaponeer, maybe?

"Yeah, those are rubber bands." - Love it.

[0rionsHammer]

There's actually a link to the weaponeer build thread available under "more info" above. I'd repeat the link here, but you can't add links here in the comments...

[fastestboats]

full auto would be at least 1 10yr federal felony

[Mchitler08]

wow, fag... way to be subservient to the gov. , you puss

[filthywalrus]

we're all subservient to the government dude, you pay your taxes dont you?

[Mchitler08]

some rules are ment to be broken

[thecellphone]

nice

[FNHFiveSeven57]

wow ! what a great gun ! If you could add full-auto mode, this could be nice compact SMG with powerfull cartridge.

I vote 5 stars, you made good gun

[wdoyle1980]

I love it!! i would have waited for the springs, instead of using rubber-bands as recoil springs. balls, man! I liked the way you did the barrel trunnion. was one screw enough to hold it in? better to pin the barrel in? Or were you going for the LEAST amount of mods to the prefab'd parts?
