zip gun (homemade). Found often where populations have been disarmed by their governments.

Not often. Often is probably limited to the Philippines. Zip guns are more relivant to areas where guns are reasonably availible but not to all groups (for example if poor people can't afford them).

I love the chamber flag/temporary gun lock lol. No matter if it’s a 5000USD custom 1911 or a pos homemade gun, they all gotta have a breech and a barrel, and at then end, the principle remains.

That's the reliable cousin of the Zip .22

The zip tie is from police as they seized it, discovered whatever this is on a news article!

That's the joke, it's a genine zip gun (a homemade gun that's fired by just slamming the cartridge), but it also has a literal zip tie in it.

Ohhh I didnt realize, never heard of a zip gun before

I wonder how it fires. Would they use that eyelet as a firing pin and shove it by hand into the back of the bullet?

Probably has a spring inside that compresses when you pull it back, then just let go of it and it slams forward

Sketchy, can't imagine this thing is very safe.

Judging by the barrel, it's supposed to use .22LR or even a ramset construction tool cartridges maybe, so the weight of the bolt and the spring together are supposed to contain the pressure. Like, in an open bolt .22.
