It's not hard to make a firearm, and the 3d printed weapons scene has taken off quite well. all of the good ones still need metal parts ofc, but they are pretty easy to get your hands on in many cases. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [β] mojo_raisin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) You can watch videos of people shooting them, many seem to work quite well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] potentiallynotfelix@iusearchlinux.fyi [S] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) They are nowhere near as reliable as a properly manufactured gun but they are still pretty solid for plastic and a bit of metal permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] mojo_raisin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Oh ya for sure permalink fedilink source parent [β] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago It really depends on the design and how much of it somebody is committed to 3D printing. If somebody wants to 3D print the bare minimum for legal purposes and use a parts kit for the rest, there's a number of designs that seem identical in function to something factory made. permalink fedilink source parent [β] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago ok but i still want my GNU approved gun.

Now you can get some more basic designs with parts that you could fabricate at home, but a lot of the higher end designs require off the shelf gun parts. The "leading design" right now is the FGC-9 which is actually seeing a degree of use in myanmar(??). The design requires metal parts that could be feasible to fabricate at home. However it is shockingly easy, even in heavily restricted countries, to be able to order the metal parts. permalink fedilink source parent [β] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) You can get parts or parts kits (random example) and make the receiver/frame (whatever the legal "gun" part happens to be on a design) yourself. permalink fedilink source parent [β] potentiallynotfelix@iusearchlinux.fyi [S] 3 points 2 years ago now. permalink fedilink source parent
