Every person is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or a fine not exceeding $2,000 who, for the purposes of sale or distribution to the public, prints or publishes or makes any document or thing (not being a document or thing of a technical, scientific, literary, or artistic character) that describes or depicts the method of manufacture of any explosive device or incendiary device or restricted weapon (within the meaning of section 2 of the Arms Act 1983), or any part of any such device or weapon.

This is interesting. If you tell someone online how to manufacture a taper pin for an AR-15 FSB, you've committed an offense.

But an AR is not a restricted weapon is it?

restricted weapon means any weapon, whether a firearm or not, declared by the Governor-General, by Order in Council made under section 4, to be a restricted weapon

Could be an FSB pin for a select fire M16?

COULD be. Also might NOT be.

If I publish instructions on how to thread some steel pipe, and install threaded end caps onto that pipe, am I being a helpful plumber, or am I teaching people how to make a pipe bomb?

You're being very selective in quoting legislation.

(2)It is a defence in a prosecution under this section if the defendant proves that it was reasonable in all the circumstances to print or publish or make the description or depiction to which the prosecution relates.

If you go to somewhere like Tasman PFV, you can buy all the short sections of pre threaded pipe and the endcaps over the counter and don't have to fuck about threading them. They sell fire sprinkler pipes and fittings.

Or a 90° elbow and end caps would work as well.
