BUILDING JOE BIDEN’S BLASTER

THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS AT EVERY TURN WHEN IT COMES TO FIREARMS, AND LIKE ANYTHING WITH A MODICUM OF DANGER, THEY‘RE UNFORGIVING OF HUMAN ERROR.

Earlier this year, we built a 410-gauge shotgun from a kit and a lot of pipe fittings for our sister magazine RECOIL OFFGRID. One thing about building that particular piece was that even the parts kit that was provided by Pop-A-410 could easily be sourced at a home improvement store. So this time, we set about building one relying purely on Home Depot’s inventory.

Some people who consider the firearm lifestyle a mere hobby couldn’t get over themselves decrying how dangerous and irresponsible these types of builds are for a shooter. There are inherent risks at every turn when it comes to firearms, and like anything with a modicum of danger, they’re unforgiving of human error.

With that in mind, we set out to build a somewhat different version in 12-gauge.
