If you find yourself in need of ammunition for an old shotgun or pistol, Expedient Homemade Shotgun Ammo is the book for you. Written by P.A. Luty, this guide offers step-by-step instructions on how to construct improvised 12 gauge shells with readily available components and basic tools.

The main component of these homemade shells is a 25mm MDPE pipe stiffener that can be found at most trade plumbing outlets. The author explains how to trim the rim of the shell down to size before priming it with a .38 blank cartridge and wood dowel section fitted with two brass/copper olives.

Once primed, users can fill their shells with either black or smokeless powder along with lead shot or steel BBs depending on preference. After loading the necessary amount of shot into each shell, they are sealed off using rubber nut caps pressed firmly into place before being glued shut using hot glue guns.
