Certain high pressure Plumbing pipe will work for black powder guns, and is sometimes used by re-enactors. Do not attempt this without consulting with an expert. It can be lethal. Pressures on these rarely exceed 10,000 PSI

"Zip guns" can be made out of a variety of pipe, but the same warnings apply.

Early gun barrels were made from steeled iron wrapped around a form, or wound around a form (so-called "damascus" or twist barrels).

Modern firearms use alloy steels which are forged and machined. Not poured and cast pig iron. The usual alloys are 416 stainless, or the 4130-4150 range of chrome-molybdenum steels.

Modern gun barrels have to withstand up to 70,000 psi (pounds per square inch).

Iron pipe is mainly used for rainwater soak aways... go figure
