👉 A pipe weapon, also known as a pipe gun or pipe launcher, is a firearm that uses a modified pipe as its barrel to propel projectiles. Typically constructed from materials like steel or aluminum, the pipe is threaded with a barrel made of a more durable metal, such as brass or stainless steel. The projectiles, often small pellets or shot, are loaded into a chamber within the pipe and fired by a gas piston mechanism, which compresses air inside the pipe to force the projectile out through the nozzle. This design offers a compact and lightweight alternative to traditional firearms, making it popular for self-defense and competitive shooting. However, due to its potential for causing significant harm, the use of pipe weapons is heavily regulated and illegal in many jurisdictions.
