Gun used to Assassinate Former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe

The improvised zip gun built and used by 41 year old army veteran Tetsuya Yamagami to assassinate former the former Japanese Prime Minister appears to be muzzle-loaded and electronically initiated. It appears to consist of two threaded gas pipes with end caps drilled to enable insertion of a wire which may be connected to a broken bulb or improvised electric match filled with black powder or match-head shavings to initiate a main propellant charge. Loaded in front of the charge would typically be paper wadding followed by ball bearings or other projectiles. A similar improvised muzzle loading gun was used to kill a police officer in South Korea in 2016.

Edit: More improvised firearms have apparently been found at the suspect’s home:

Buck Rogers

Confiscated from a 23 year old women in Argentina.

The Green Meanie

Rotating barrel selection and in .22lr.

If it shoots it shoots

The tape grip is probably the least eye hurting thing about it. Points can be added for having a decent amount of shiny new ammunition.

Fine Fowling Pieces

A couple of shotguns seized by Brazilian police in recent months.

.22 improvised firearms

Deadly concealable untraceable Ghost Guns assembled from screwed together bits from the plumbing and bathroom section.

Squeezy the Friendly Ghost Gun

No nonsense .22 pistol from a stapler and a piece of pipe.

Pocket Rocket

Seized by Guatemala National Civil Police. I wouldn’t have expected any less of a hat.

Someone was expecting trouble.

A street .22 zip gun from Argentina. This example has a magazine of sorts.

I don’t know

It looks like who ever made it duct taped part of a gun to another bit of gun. It was taken from a criminal in Mexico apparently.
