THE FOUR WINDS SHOTGUN This is the simplest, safest, cheapest 12 gauge shotgun ever devised. It was used in the Philippines st the Japanese and was known as the "Slam- Bang.” Anyone can get the parts and make it in a couple of hours. Ifused outside the home it can be disassembled in seconds, its parts thrown in every direction, hence the name, "Four Winds." Itcan be fired several times aminute and has a moderate kick. Loaded, it weighs about 21/4 pounds. Basic cost, under $5.00. Itis made ofeommon, galvanized plumbing pipe, bought from any large hardware store, plumbing supply or evenjunkyard. Tomakeityouneeda 1 inch cap, 6 inches of | inch pipe, threaded on one end and 10 Inches of 3/4 inch pipe. Then you need a 1 inch dowel, a No. 16 nail, a 1 1/8 inch cirele of thin cardboard and some duet tape. Gun with safety tape. Shells, Primer section. Tools and various items you need are a metal cutting hacksaw, a sheet of coarse emery cloth, and some Super-Glu Gel, all gotten at any hardware store, cheaply. First buy a foot of 3/4 inch pipe. Ifyou buy only a foot you should cut the two extra inches off, yourself. It takes only about five minutes per cut.

Then buy a 1 inch pipe cap. There's no reason anyone should suspect you of anything, even ifyou buy everything at one hardware store, although you might buy the 3/4 inch pipe at another store. Butifyou should buy even four feet of 3/4 inch pipe, four caps and have four 6 inch lengths of | inch pipe cut and threaded and the clerk should ask what it was for, you might tell him your brother- inlaw is making some sort of metal table. If the pipes are cut for you, make sure they are reamed at the cuts. Otherwise there will be a heavy lip at the cut, which doesn't happen when cut with a hacksaw. You can get this lip offwith a rounded file or just cut 1/16 off with your hacksaw. You don't want a deep ream at the shell end, The 12 gauge lip should rest on the natural lip of the 3/4 inch pipe. Otherwise it might sink into the reamed portion and be a little harder to get out after being fired. ‘When you have the two pipes of proper lengths, insert the 3/4 into the 1 inch pipe. It will probably stick, You wantit to slide through every time withno sticking or slowing. For this you need to make your own reamer. Cut 7 or8 inches fromyour | inch dowel. Theneut a piece 5x3 1/16 inches from the sheet of emery cloth. The 1 inch dowel I bought was actually 15/16 of an inch thick and my 1 inch pipe had an inside diameter of | 1/16 inches. When you buy your dowel take the 6 inch pipe and make sure the dowel goes in with some space to spare. Ifthe dowel fits exactly, it's too big and you'll have to choose the next size down, Regardless, wrap the emery cloth around the dowel and markit where it meets. Then cut off about 5 inches. Next, take the Super-Glue Gel and quickly squeeze a line down the length of the emery cloth. Quickly put the emery cloth along one end of the dowel andpress evenly. Use gloves, as any glue onthe fingers will make them stick. After about 30 seconds the cloth will be stuck tight and you can wrap it around until it meets. Then quickly squeeze another line of glue down the unglued side and press it up against the other side. You might quickly put several large rubber bands the length of the emery cloth to make it set evenly. Now you have a reamer without peer. Just rub it in and out ofthe 1 inch pipe along the sides a fewtines to get any bes ce uneven aeas.
