And that's just one device.

Even with the boilerplate admonition over getting too wrapped up in the comments, there was still some idjit in there all about "I know, as with preternatural certitude, that this is illegal as ****!"

On the practical side, I need to study this guy's barrel rifling jig.

The guy did a write up about this on the weoponsguild forum a while back. Shows you what you can to with a lil ingenuity. He also did an article on how to make the rilfing maching he used. The cutter is a masonary bit! If you belong to weaponsguild you will have to check it out.

I'd like to experiment with Ram EDM for rifling.

Pretty cool. I disagree with this part of the article though: "turned this staple gun into a device that would shoot a single .410 bore shell. A practice round as far as shotguns go, but still a serious amount of punch.". .410 is not a "practice round".

I WISH I had the time to spend to make such trivialities! Cool, but don't see much actual use for it. Is the maker planning on OC'ing it?

I applaud craftsmanship and ingenuity wherever it is found. As soon as the building and test firing is done, though, for me the fun would be over. Thankfully, I have plenty of guns that work better as guns.

Very cool workmanship.

He can patent it and sell the design to Taurus.
They could call it the "Jury Duty".

Bravo!

It makes about as much sense as any .410 handgun.

Let it fill another empty space on the wall and move on to the next project.

Heck, it not only could fill the empty space on the wall, but the empty space between tiles and staple the descriptive label beneath the mount! (Looks heavy enough to pound the nails in, too.) Glue a sandpaper holder to it and you could sand drywall!
