These were found today in
Argentina, used to steal cars and sometimes sold to other criminals. Pretty
simple really, two metal pipes, one slightly larger than the other. A cap with
a striking pin is screwed or soldered to the bottom of the larger pipe. Put the
cartridge or shotgun shell in one, and slam it to the bottom of the other to
fire the gun. When the smaller diameter tube, holding the round of ammunition
hits the bottom of the larger diameter tube, the gun fires. When using a
shotshell there’s no rifling left, and of course the “gun” being a couple
simple pipes its very easy to hide or dispose of.
Now, if you want to see an
incredible gun made with scrap steel, a drill and grinder check the video
below! By the accent, the person is from Cordoba, Argentina.

Believe it or not, the Hechiza, or slam-bang/slam-fire/slap fire shotgun is quite common here in the USA. This weapon was first introduced here in the States just after World War II; and was marketed commercially as the 'Richardson Survival Shotgun', by Richardson Industries, Inc. New Haven Conn. in 12ga. Another name for this commercial version was the 'Philippine Guerrilla Gun'.
Doing a Google search for 'The Four Winds Shotgun.pdf' by Kurt Saxon will produce a detailed set of instructions for anyone who wants a bit more info. Here are a few of the videos on YouTube in which this shotgun is demonstrated:
