Someone knows who the maker is. He's probably pretty well known for making junkyard contraptions.
This was my first time posting. I was very brave!! Like my son says, just hit the damn buttons.

With knowledge of guns and machine tools it's not very dificult to build a gun. It's a strange design. It doesn't look balanced. How can you get any accuracy with it?

No one says it really shoots (or have they). I'd label him "the junkyard killer".
I wonder if there is a dump nearby although every machine shop is its' own dump.

James Bond was threatened by one of these in Casino Royale (the book, not the movie). IIRC, it was a single shot .45. Of course, Bond took it away from his assailant.

Most of the behind the scenes talk is that the killer and the victim were one in the same.

A "dump" is a dump is a dump.
You can get parts for cars and refrigeration at "junkyards" and "scrapyards" but not many gun parts can be found there.
