At Yamagami's place, they found "zip" and "pipe" guns. Two metal barrels and a wooden board with a firing mechanism. BTW, you know who really knows guns - as in how to get good value for your money? Ans : the Royal Thai Police. They are not issued weapons and have to spend their own personal funds to acquire firearms (source : Operation Relentless by Damien Lewis)
Mitsuru Fukuda (Prof. in College of Risk Mgmt, Nihon Univ) : "The making of guns with a 3D printer and the manufacturing of bombs can nowadays be learned off the internet from anywhere in the world"

Suspect (Yamagami) stated that he had search online for instructions and ordered parts and gunpowder off the internet. Really? What if you don't want to leave a paper trail? The gun measured 40 by 20 centimetres (15.7 by 7.9 inches), and was made of materials such as metal and wood. Electrical wire passing from the cap on the end of each pipe implied an electrical firing mechanism says N.R. Jenzen-Jones - Armament Research Services analyst.

More Mundane :
From the book made with taxpayer money :
In Unconventional Warfare operations it may be impossible or unwise to use conventional military munitions as tools in the conduct of certain missions. It may be necessary instead to fabricate the required munitions from locally available or unassuming materials. The purpose of this Manual is to increase the potential of Special Forces and guerrilla troops by describing in detail the manufacture of munitions from seemingly innocuous locally available materials.
Manufactured, precision devices almost always will be more effective, more reliable, and easier to use than improvised ones, but shelf items will just not be available for certain operations for security or logistical reasons. Therefore the operator will have to rely on materials he can buy in a drug or paint store, find in a junk pile, or scrounge from military stocks. Also, many of the ingredients and materials used in fabricating homemade items are so commonplace or innocuous they can be carried without arousing suspicion. The completed item itself often is more easily concealed or camouflaged. In addition, the field expedient item can be tailored for the intended target, thereby providing an advantage over the standard item in flexibility and versatility.
"This cone charge will penetrate 3 to 4 inches of armor. Placed on an engine or engine compartment, it will disable a tank or other vehicle."
What is the firing mechanism based on? A nail and and elastic band.
Based on this, who do we need to keep an eye on? Drug, hardware and paint stores. Farm and feed stores. Remember, the first World Trade Center terrorist attach of 1992 used a fertilizer bomb.
Here's one from Gallipolli for sure :
BTW, who has an extensive instruction manual for the use of explosives? The National Parks Service. Makes sense don't it? How many times have you driven through mountainous area and wondered what it took to make that road?
The Hoss USMC explains what a "lower receiver" is for us mere mortals :
"It was invented by Eugene Stoner" of Armalite (AR-15). Here's some vintage : Mikhail Kalashnikov who went through 46 iterations and Stoner discussing the AR-15.
