The Annoyed Man wrote: Fri Jul 15, 2022 9:13 am An American friend of mine was shot in London after a pub brawl by a thug armed with a very similar weapon. Very fortunately, he was running away from the fight and was wearing a very heavy leather coat, and had opened up enough distance that the shot never broke any skin. It just left him with a nasty bruise in the middle of his back. England is, of course, another example of a country with very restrictive gun laws; and my friend's incident just one more example of how futile such laws are at disarming criminals, while being very effective at disarming decent people.
I remember I think a Guy Richie film set in London. It was a Crime/drama/comedy. It seemed to have lots of people with guns and pig farms, and in one more amusing scene, a guy drew his replica gun on a guy with a real gun. The real gun guy then drew his weapon and said something like " my gun says Desert Eagle on the side, what does yours say?"
That was Jason Statham in "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120735/

From a Facebook page I follow. Supposedly the home made shotgun used to kill the PM.
Yes. Metal tubes, duck tape, wood... probably black power, judging by all the smoke.
On another forum I belong too, somebody posted a better side shot of it. It had a pistol grip and what looked like batteries. They speculated, on the other forum, that the ignition was electric arc.
