Summary
| Description |
English: Two young boys, 14 and 15 years of age, were arrested while shooting a zip gun in the vicinity of police target ranges in a eastern U.S. city. A third boy, aged 15, was also arrested when it was learned that the other two had obtained the homemade weapon from him.
The zip gun was constructed from a cap pistol of the usual type. A steel barrel had been inserted inside the soft metal barrel and bound with friction tape. The hammer had been filed down and given additional force by a wire spring wound under the firing chamber. The gun is capable of shooting a .22 caliber shell. The three boys were turned over to juvenile court. |
