FGC-9 3D PRINTED GUN FULLY PRINTED

[JerBearr]

All parts completed. Had a few life set backs, but I finally got them all done. Assembly time soon. I need to free up a block of time in my schedule

Can’t wait to see how this plays out

Please suck start the first shot

I know a guy who was on IT support for the FBI. Big dude and super fucking smart. He was 3D printing stuff a few years ago.

He was telling his bosses about potential security risks with printed weapons. They kept blowing him off.

Over a weekend, he printed out and assembled a fully functional pistol (he admitted it might only last one shot.) He had it on his person, walked it in to the building and through multiple security levels. He walked in to his bosses boss's office and plopped that fucker on his desk. I guess his eyes got real big and he started going ape shit about lax security. This guy still couldn't get good point across that anyone could make one and take it just about anywhere, undetected.

He thinks he only didn't get in trouble because he is/was THE IT guy there and also knows where some (figurative, I think) bodies are buried.

Not a good ending, I know that. But different organizations have known about stuff like this, but are slowly not doing shit about them.

What security did he get through with that gun? Metal detector? Are there no metal parts at all in these guns now? Perhaps I missed that with the OP. I assumed the barrel, firing pin, and maybe a couple other parts still had to be made of steel.

Yeh, there has to be some metal in the gun.

That is is incorrect statement. Read below.

If you want a reliable gun, you likely need metal components. The firing pin can be composite and be reliable, but at minimum you need metal springs and barrel. That being said, it is possible to make the barrel out of plastic (though it wont withstand very many rounds), and the springs can be made from other materials. ORR If you produce a firearm with only a single round, it does not need springs and can operate without them. In a case where you only have a single round weapon, your striking force likely comes from a material with high spring coefficients. (ex - rubber band).

The gun shown above will definitely have metal components.

OP just comes through. Awesome.

They had a metal detector and a cursory wanding.

His gun had no metal parts. It didn't look like a standard handgun, more like a break action *zip gun".

He also had no intentions of actually firing, it but felt it could have held up for a couple of shots. He was mostly trying to get people's attention about possibilities and ease of obtaining weapons. The result was ultimately, sadly underwhelming.

Makes me think of John Malkovich's gun in the movie In the Line of Fire.

Awesome!

Awesome!

Will the barrels safely handle the round explosion - I assume it is a polymer plastic and not metal?

I will be opting for the route of using a blast proof pipe which is eletro chemically machined, which is a big boy name for a really simple process.
