Yeah but pipe bombs can't usually go very far or fast. These would be like missile pipe bombs.

These still take actual industrial capacity to build; they're not something you could build on your own even if you could afford to. I'd be more concerned about homemade bombs on drones.

Generating a basic small missile is relatively easy. It's essentially a weaponized hobby rocket at its core. The largest limitation historically has been the targeting and steering systems.
