    …can you even get off 3 shots with a 3D printed gun? I figured all 3d printed guns worked like 1, 2, gun breaks

        Fun fact: There are 3d printers for metal materials too. But obviously very expensive

        I was under the impression that only receivers were actually regulated in the US ? So yeah, if you can print a receiver you should be able to legally buy the rest of the gun as spare parts

          Printing is probably easier but is actually unnecessary.

          https://web.archive.org/web/20241211151625/https://www.80-lower.com/80-handgun-frames/

          I’m pretty sure that if you order from this website you get put on a list, but if you don’t have a 3D printer, a few minutes with a Dremel is all you really need.

      it’s just a 3d printed frame

      nearly all 3d printed guns need at least some metal (afaik there’s only one completely metal free, and it uses custom ammo), so why not just use Glock metal?

        Yeah I’m not an expert but I think you can get lower receiver kits without them being registered as firearms, and print the upper receiver yourself?

        Probably gonna change soon

          Other way around. You print the lower which is just like a grip with the serial number printed on it.

      With a little patience you can make full on AR10s.

      It isn’t terribly difficult to make a rifled barrel with electrolysis.

      It was like that at first, but these days the standard practice is to use metal bolts, barrels and inserts for the parts that have to be strong. There were and probably still are fully printed guns like you describe, but it’s far more common for a 3d printed piece to be a hybrid of plastic frame and purchased or machined metal parts

      Given he had to pull back the slide, I’d say yes.

    Video that doesn’t need to be a video. TL;DR: the released picture shows a typical printed lower (Chairmanwon’s stipple remix of the dd19.2) with metal upper. Shooter likely used a printed suppressor (could be FTN-3, FTN-4) without a Nielsen device. In PA the gun is legal but suppressor is not so if they pursue gun charges we’ll get to see it.

    So where’s the right place for someone who knows nothing about guns to read about this and understand it all?
