If I draw up some plans on a napkin with crayon, make my thing based on that, and “QC” says all the parts are to spec, and it fails and looks like shit in the process… I would say that is FAR more improvised than the guy making a pipe bomb out of hardware store supplies that’s set off by a complex electronic custom timer/signal receiver.
I do get your point, I’m just being slightly ridiculous for humor’s sake.
It’s all entirely “did someone make this in a factory with government approval or not”
