👉 A maker weapon, also known as a DIY or do-it-yourself weapon, is a self-made or improvised firearm constructed by an individual or small group, often using readily available materials and basic engineering knowledge. Unlike commercially produced firearms, maker weapons typically lack standardized components and may incorporate parts from everyday objects or modified firearms. These weapons are often driven by a desire for personal defense, hobbyist experimentation, or cost-effectiveness. While they can be effective in certain situations, maker weapons are generally less regulated and may pose significant safety risks due to their unpredictable nature and potential for misuse.
