Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Operational Zipguns Made From Auto Aerials: Police in San Antonio, Calif., are greatly concerned with reports of the theft of car radio aerials because many of them are stolen for conversion into zipguns.
One, confiscated from a gang member, was a homemade .22 caliber pistol. It was completely operational. The improvised weapon showed careful workmanship and even had a spare firing pin. The component parts of the zipgun were an automobile radio aerial, a block of wood, a rubber band, and some friction tape. The young boy who made it stated he carried the weapon for self-protection as he had been previously used as a target for someone else’s weapon. |
