In the early hours of November 1, a teenager was critically injured when a homemade pen gun accidentally discharged outside a convenience store in Pathum Thani, Thailand. Police responded swiftly to Soi Rangsit-Pathum Thani 14 around 3.30am, finding two injured teenagers amidst a scene marked by a pool of blood and evidence of gunfire.

 

The more seriously injured teen, Rattaphoom, 19, suffered a life-threatening gunshot wound after a .38 calibre bullet entered through his nose and exited his skull. Thanabodee, also 19, sustained an injury to his right wrist, presumably from his own mishandling of the pen gun.

 

Medical responders rushed the injured teenagers to local hospitals, with Rattaphoom receiving critical care at Pathumvech Hospital. Investigators at the scene found a pen gun, a spent cartridge, and a motorcycle that the teens reportedly rode to the area.

 

A nearby vendor, who witnessed the aftermath but not the incident, reported that the teenagers claimed the discharge was accidental. While police continue their investigation, the exact details of how the pen gun went off remain unclear.

 

This tragic occurrence underlines the unpredictable nature and inherent dangers associated with homemade firearms. Authorities now endeavour to uncover more about the circumstances leading up to this alarming incident.

And more here, as Thailand has a higher intentional homicide rate than the US.

Is the maker of that zip gun from the engineering school?

Little had I expected those institutions  have got Gun Smithing Course as well.

Certainly want such an able buddy in case of the Zombie Invasion.

Will significant increase our survivability during the worst pandemic.

It seems, from the photo, to be a .22 Long Rifle cartridge typical for a 'zip' gun and not a .38 cartridge. Perhaps the image is not the actual weapon but is 'representative'?

It's a computer generated image.

I used to legally own a pen gun in the UK (I collected disguised weapons as a hobby). The Dunblane tragedy resulted in stricter gun controls and my pen gun had to be surrendered to the police..

I had a two-shot .32 Derringer that hid in a billfold, You could fire it without opening the wallet.

 

It was pretty badass
