Could a black powder pistol manage that ?

 
Initially, I just assumed this was some kind of crude zip-gun.  But, after you mentioned it fired 3 shots, I had to go and see if I could find an image of this gun.  I knew that there is no way it could be a revolver - clockwork and timing is just too complex for a novice gun maker. So, I thought semi-auto, but I couldn't figure out how he could make a perfect magazine that fed into barrel's chamber without any hickups - takes gun manufacturers lots of trial and error to get this right.

So, here is a supposed photo of the firearm used:

Image

To me, it looks like 3 zip-guns (pipe-guns) held together with electrical tape.  The photo clearly shows 2 of the barrels, there's probably a 3rd on the other side.  This is actually quite fascinating to me.  I'm wondering if this device used a combination of cannon fuse and an electronic igniter to fire each of the 3 separate barrels.  Are you familiar with vaping Mods? (see photo)

I find these vaping mods to be curious devices which could possibly be used to electronically ignite black powder, when used in conjunction with cannon fuse and/or flash paper.  This might be easier than trying to manufacture primers.

Someone said that the weapon used had to have BULLETS.
This does not seem to me to be essential.
Blunderbusses do not use bullets.
Muskets do not need bullets.
They used a powder charge, which was tamped down with a ramrod and lead ball, which was also tamped down.
During the US Civil War, the Union had repeating rifles only for the last part. The Confederates mostly used muskets.

Wrong.  Muskets do indeed shoot bullets. A lead ball is essentially a bullet, and it is fully capable of firing bullet-shaped projectiles as well.  A blunderbuss is just a shotgun.

By "bullet", I meant manufactured cartridges that combine the metal projectile with the metal casing containing the charge.
You know that, you are just being contentious. 
The term used at the time was Minié ball.
The Minié ball or Minie ball, is a type of hollow-based bullet designed by Claude-Étienne Minié, inventor of the French Minié rifle, for muzzleloader rifled muskets. It was invented in 1847 and came to prominence in the Crimean War[1] and the American Civil War, where it was found to inflict significantly more serious wounds than earlier round musket balls. Both the American Springfield Model 1861 and the British Pattern 1853 Enfield rifled muskets, the most common weapons used during the American Civil War, used the Minié ball.[2]

I am pretty sure than a person could find lead and make his own ammo. Lead is used as balancing weights for auto wheels and tires and is found in lead acid batteries.

Yes !

In the same prefecture Abe died.
He died in Nara Pref. in Kansai  . . .  not too far from where I live.

Well, to be completely honest, I live in the hills of Kobe, Hyogo prefecture and he died in Nara, Kansai prefecture !

But the road to Nara goes several times through Kansai and Hyogo prefectures !
ZigZagging through the borders !

Country-side road !

Not that it matters in any way, as far as Abe is concerned.

I just meant to say that we're not too far away from where this **** occurred !

They call them the Hibakuska in Japan. Some atomic bomb victims survived the impact but remained contaminated from radiation. They were ostracized by Japanese society for the radioactive skin they received from the fallout.

Maybe the Japanese  did not want to take a risk of having a third   GENBAKU   on their heads ?

Can't blame them !

what is a soul without a gender playing the sole role of a malcontent being alive in their own skin? When persons desire a murder suicide pact, I prefer they do the suicide first because the person being murdered might not want to actually be dead as much as the person doing the killing that gets to change their mind after the murder was completed.

Yes everyone, I am being very sarcastic and little bit serious.

We had a lot of rain today  . . . .  I hope te creek flowing next to our home swells and I can make some nice pictures of it!

No, I really did not know that. I thought you were drawing a distinction between round-ball ammo as opposed to "bullet", i.e. conical ammo with an ogive nose.
Some people use tire weights to make their own bullets - tire weights are preferred since they haven't lived their life in acid.  Gun barrels don't like corrosive material. Casting bullets (also know in the hobby as "boolits" https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showth ... oolit-quot) is done by bench-rest shooters looking to make consistently near-perfect cartridges.

Probably the cheapest thing to make bullets out of are zinc pennies. The boolit-casters actually discourage this.  While you can cast a zinc bullet, boolit casters hate getting zinc contamination in their smelting pots and casting materials. Some of these folks actually go and mine lead from the backstops/berms to use to cast more projectiles.  Since it is difficult to distinguish lead from zinc, except by weight and close inspection, zinc projectiles can ruin the ability to mine lead out of berms.  However, zinc is know to be a good projectile for cleaning lead fouling out of barrels.      Ok, now I've gone way down the rabbit hole on this!

Israel made this guy eat out of a shoe. https://www.timesofisrael.com/japan-pm- ... yahu-home/

He came to Israel to discuss concern over Trump threatening to ban car imports from Japan.

(Because if you are concerned about us policy..Israel is who you talk to)

Since he was willing to humiliate himself, I guess Trump never followed through with his threats
