In assymetrical warfare, improvised weaponry has always played a huge role. While the obvious case of the IED and related takes its toll, the past centuries have much to reveal.
An improvised firearm is a firearm manufactured by someone who is not a regular maker of firearms, such as a firearms manufacturer or a gunsmith, and is typically constructed by adapting existing materials to the purpose. Called by many names, these improvised firearms range from crude weapons that are as much a danger to the user as the target, to high quality arms produced by cottage industries using salvaged and repurposed materials.

Unabomber's homemade silenced pistol
[quote]few days ago I finished making a twenty two caliber pistol. This took me a long time, for a year and a half, thereby preventing me from working on some other projects I would have liked to carry out. Gun works well and I get as much accuracy out of it as I'd expect for an inexperienced pistol shot like me. It is equipped with improvised silencer which does not work as well as I hoped. At a guess it cuts noise down to maybe one third. It is said that it is easy for machinist to make a gun, but of course I did not have machine tools, but only a few files, hacksaw blades, small vice, a rickety hand drill, etc. I took the barrel from an old pneumatic pistol. I made the other parts out of several metal pieces. Most of them come from the old abandoned cars near here. I needed to make the parts with enough precision but I made them well and I'm very satisfied. I want to use the gun as a homicide weapon.[/quote]
How cryptic!

My Penis.
I went out, grabbed some scrap metal, and improvised a bayonet for my throbbing member, as well as a grip, red dot sight, and silencer.
Always remember the Kzinti Lesson: "A reaction drive's efficiency as a weapon is in direct proportion to it's efficiency as a drive."

Do homemade lasers count? They're pretty cool, but they don't really work like weapons.

[quote]Dirty Harry might have thought that his .44 Magnum was "the most powerful handgun in the world", but I guess he never ran into a Chinese gangster with one of these. Home made handgun revolvers using standard 12 gauge shotgun shells are becoming increasingly popular with Taiwanese gang members, and this one was confiscated from a 19 year old gang gun runner.
While it's not the first shotgun shell revolver, Taurus makes one called the Judge, this is the only one I've encountered that fires a regular 12 gauge round. That handle on the front isn't just for looks, as it's hard to imagine the kick this thing would deliver.[/quote]

I've shot "the Judge" before with triple aught buckshot before and it's a blast. I've also shot birdshot out of it and managed to shoot clay pidgeons out of the air with it, also a ton of fun

[QUOTE=Dlaor-guy;26986216]Is it even possible to have a gun that shoots bullets over .57 caliber?[/QUOTE]
It's an anti-materiel rifle. Kinda like an anti-tank rifle.
Most weapons from Metro 2033 would count.
Also gotta love those Chechen weapons.
I found this rather interesting Improvised pistol
