It works because Hellboy believes it'll work!

When your faith in your scrap weapons is strong enough, even Brazilian bicycle handlebars can reliably fire 12-gauge cartridges.

My favorite part of Warhammer Lore. Orks are literally the most religious race; their tech is literally belief-powered

What kind of fucking garage welded bullshit could possibly be rated for shooting .50 caliber cartridges on full auto? That’s a catastrophic malfunction waiting to happen.

It's Brazil, Man. We have a Very famous video of a small time drug dealer getting himself blown up - he had a belt with many "garage made" gunpowder filled grenades and was balancing himself on a barrel with gun in hand. He slipped, the impact on the floor made all the grenades explode.
