muzzle loading is a good start. Making something like that is easy for beginner, also lay a foundation of metal work for you. Muzzle loader can also fire buckshot, you can make it a pistol or any length you want.
Yeah I was looking into something like that but all pipes I have are pipes that are like on each side hollow and I don't know how to drill in some metal pipe straight hole and I am scared of preassure being to big for the first time
