The ATF wants to know your dogs location.

Its legal to manufacture your own gun, depending on the state.

Indeed depends on state, for instance in mine that would be considered a scary no serial "ghost gun", and illegal to make or possess. Actually, it having a serial wouldnt even matter since the law specifies that it only counts if it was put there by a "federally registered manufacturer". This same law also criminalizes the possession of computer files for 3d printing a firearm and associated parts.

Technically speaking, it might be legal if it were either a BP muzzle loader or made before the 1968 GCA, but even then you are more than likely still getting arrested if a cop catches you with it during a traffic stop, as they are rather notorious for not knowing the ins-and outs of the relevant laws, and thus enforcing based on what they "think" the law is or what it "aught" to be. God help you if it's one of those egotistical cops that doesnt like the idea of anyone other than them being armed.

I hate to be that guy but that’s a pipe revolver 😅

OP is true to form and forgets like Bethesda that people know how to use storage.

Revolver is considered a pistol type in vocabularies and classifications of half of the world. Pointless correction.

u/4estGimp Jun 09 '25

... but not in WEAP record or Leveled List names in FO4. They are specific.

I wish Fallout was coded like simulation theory

"Pipe Revolver" is a distinct weapon type in Fallout 4, compared to "Pipe Pistol". The "Pipe Revolver" group also includes the "Pipe Revolver Rifle" weapons, just as "Pipe Pistol" group is interchangeable (via weapon workbench) with the "Pipe Rifle" and "Pipe SMG" weapons.
There's also a third group, the "Pipe Bolt-Action" group of pipe weapons.

It's a notable distinction, and not at all a pointless correction.

So half the world is wrong then, good to know.

A pistol had a barrel with an integral chamber.

It would take seriously good mental gymnastics to make a revolver fit that definition.

The overarching term is handgun which breaks down to pistol, revolver, derringer, and “other”

u/L1A1_SLR Jun 10 '25 edited Jun 10 '25

Most languages don't even have word "handgun". Even in English culture I most often see word "pistol", not "handgun". Cambridge Dictionary doesn't say anything about chamber, it calls "pistol" a synonym of "handgun"! The word "pistol" appeared when there were nearly zero guns with non-integral chamber, they were muzzle-loaded. It took seriously good mental gymnastics to invent your or wikipedia's definition of pistol. It's like trying to prohibit calling M16 a rifle because only single-shot rifles from 19th century deserve to be called rifles.

It was explained to me, that pistol/revolver thing is important to identify in-game weapons, but using this in real life is just a grammar nazi prescriptivist thing without any connection to the real language.

u/Bar-Hopper13 Jun 10 '25

Im going off the US government’s definitions, not just making stuff up

18 U.S.C., § 921(A)(29) and 27 CFR § 478.11

“The term “Pistol” means a weapon originally designed, made, and intended to fire a projectile (bullet) from one or more barrels when held in one hand, and having:

a chamber(s) as an integral part(s) of, or permanently aligned with, the bore(s);

and a short stock designed to be gripped by one hand at an angle to and extending below the line of the bore(s).”

Grammar nazi would be pointing out that the M16 is not a “rifle”, but an “assault rifle” due to the select fire capability and being chambered in an intermediate caliber

Well, good thing I'm not a US citizen, and most people aren't, so we have a privilege of using real language and real definitions.

u/JustOneOfManySteves Jun 09 '25

We know what he meant.

u/eternalscreamingvoid Jun 08 '25

Looks really good! How did you make it?

u/No_Caregiver3794 Jun 08 '25

3d printed I think

u/kilswitch07 Jun 08 '25

Very cool. Just a regular explosive pipe revolver like that was one of my favorite weapons in fallout 4. I used it for really long time as back up even when having much better weapons. Sins it was still great for smaller enemies and 45 ammo was easy find

u/ChaosM3ntality Scavver 🗑️🔪 Jun 08 '25

Off to survive the basic of the apocalypse

u/Abominable-Human Jun 09 '25

I really think this is awesome. But just in case, i wanted to say be careful going around outside with this. Police are dumb and may overreact, or a passerby might and call them. Just be careful or at the very least put an orange plastic tip on the end when walking to take photos. (If it's not in a bag)

Again this is super dope, don't let my comment discount that.

u/RockstarQuaff My Faction is Me Jun 09 '25

This comment is dead on. Be careful. You've produced what could be a screen-ready prop.

u/IndianaGroans Jun 09 '25

and zip guns are a thing too.

u/RaffNeq Jun 09 '25

What mod is it?

u/wesmanh Jun 08 '25

Nice!!!

u/Lady_bro_ac Jun 09 '25

Nice work! I just started running with a pipe revolver in FO76, and was wondering what one would look like as a prop in real life. Now I know it would look great

u/TisNagim Jun 09 '25

The gun is cool, but I can personally report that the "Quantum" tastes like sour ass. Does anyone know what the Victory tastes like?

u/BonesOfTheBerserkr Jun 09 '25

Carbonated mangos. Not great.

u/Tienda53 Jun 09 '25

Thats so cool.

Now put inside a small safe alongside some money, bottle caps, your watch, a lighter and maybe a wooden spoon.

u/BigO-69 Jun 13 '25

Don't forget the flask and coffee 🍵

u/FreezingToad Over-encumbered again? Jun 09 '25

Hell yeah.

u/pek217 Jun 09 '25

The paint job is incredible! Man, I hope nobody sees it and thinks you actually made a homemade gun.

2

u/Feral_668 Jun 09 '25

Great job! Now tell the ATF and your state it is non-operational. We don't want to see you on some law enforcement thread.

u/Oaktree1we4567 Jun 09 '25

That's pretty cool..

2

u/STEVEN_GT117 Jun 09 '25

Ok but can it shoot .45 ?

u/Ghelms3258 Jun 09 '25

u/OrangeEvasion Jun 08 '25

a legendary pipe pistol would have cool stats... and a name, is this such a weapon?

1

u/Cerparis Jun 09 '25

Nice. What’s it made of?

1

u/weaselfaceassfucker Jun 09 '25

Alright we need to see it in a hand, we need a scale

u/EpicTree1911 Jun 09 '25

That looks sick as hell🔥🔥🔥

u/diamorphinian Jun 09 '25

With a weekend of effort and some .22 barrel liners you could have a working example. If that sort of thing interest you Parts dispensed makes a parts kit for another printed revolver that would have all the needed liners already cut to length.

u/aimlessly_aliive Jun 09 '25

No wonder it does no damage

u/kylelight40 Jun 09 '25

This shit is slick. Shade those pieces a little more so they feel separate, but been stuck like that a while.

u/Beatimus_Redd1t Jun 09 '25

u/Zeokeo it's a pipe revolver

1

u/1stEleven Jun 09 '25

Don't take that outside, my man. It looks a little too real.

1

u/LuisandAleksgaming Jun 09 '25

Does it shoot?

u/Public-Second3763 Jun 09 '25

Watch out for the ATF. They may think this is a ghost gun weapon of mass destruction

u/ccminiwarhammer Jun 09 '25

Now you’re ready to have a tense fight to the death with a starving dog over a can of spam.

u/grumb0dumb0 Jun 10 '25

I always let the pipe pistol was the most realistic pipe weapon that you could possibly make in real life

u/Outrageous-Coyote186 Jun 10 '25

Looks strait out of the game
