Not the usual homemade bicycle pump powered air rifle, that looks like a muzzle loaded hammer action shotgun or musket, albeit homemade.

It's very crude so it's hard to tell. Years back those muzzle loaders were still a thing in Laos, the hammer detonated a children's toy gun cap and then the black powder inside. I'm not sure how true it was but some of these hill-tribes said they made the barrel by gradually chipping down the center of a steel bar with a hot rod for years, eventually they would have a barrel. Some of these rifles looked to be more than 1 meter long.

All held together with black pvc tape.

You won't want to be too close to that thing when it first gets tested.

Why would they not just use the blue PVC piping the locals use for absolutely everything else?
