Thread: 3D printed Glock

Don't try this at home, folks. It is illegal, and... Well, just watch.

Darwins theory......

Presumably the barrel and action are not printed if the handle fell off after 2 shots

Idjits! But the scary thing is that one day someone will make one strong enough to be used like a real pistol.

Having had quite a lot to do with 3D printers in the early days (used to build them from scratch) there is no way I would have even thought about firing that thing as it looks like the handle is only 2-3 strings thick so simply far too weak for the recoil.

Really good ones exist and the plans are apparently out there in cyber space they are not called Ghost guns for no reason. I no longer have a 3D printer and I wouldn't make a gun even if I still did.

I think the correct term for a useful 3d firearm printing machine is 'CNC milling machine'. Alloy and steel win out against hardened plastic string every time

would one repair that with cable ties or duct tape?

@veitnamcam - The barrel and slide with a live round in the chamber? Thank goodness it has a trigger safety!

P.A. Luty wrote a book called "Expedient homemade firearms, the 9mm sub machine gun"

A simple smooth bore, blow back sub machine gun.
Simple as, only a drill and a file, hacksaw required etc.

He wrote it to prove a point to the gun banning assholes out there, and got locked up for his efforts.

To me that looked like all Glock just a 3d printed frame. Dumb idea either way

Anybody with a half decent workshop can build a firearm, and with a bit of time and care can build a very nice firearm.

The railway workshops in Wellington built several thousand sten guns during WWII, and their gear was far less capable than what we have today.

We are back to the usual place, which is laws only work for 1) the law abiding, or 2) people who are caught and punished breaking them. We've got the laws......

You haven't got a machine gun though have you.

Was it ALL made in a 3D printer?
To me the chassis looked to be made of metal.

Love the dumbarse comment: “can fire 15 rounds of 9mm with one pull of the trigger” - that was just after saying it was “a semi-automatic assault rifle”.

That was very clearly due to the use of an incorrect filament being used, they even said so themselves. The 3d printed "existing" models like the Glock, AR etc are still using factory parts for the uppers but it is only a matter of time before they don't, and that will be a massive problem. In fact there is one model made using entirely unregulated parts that Police have already found here in a gang pad raid.

Just look on twitter to see where this is going.
