A really cool combo of nigger tech and high tech!

Looks like useless shit, get a drill press, fire regular .22lr

What's the ignition system? If it's a muzzle loader with ground match heads (or the like) it frees the need for any existing gun parts or ammo. After that it's just stick it in a pocket, shoot a cop/soldier and take a real gun.

Are they able to print guns that don't break after a few rounds yet? I haven't kept up with 3D printing since the early days but all the designs I saw back then didn't hold up to more than a few rounds going through them before they were useless.

Learn to use the print to make a mold then make metal parts.

>>579340

I understand that sterlok but it'd be nice if they could get material that allowed you to print one of these and get 100 rounds through it before a critical failure. I also see the point of a throwaway pistol (kill a man and take his gun). I just don't see the point in spending a lot of money on 3D printing unless I'm already in the business of building stuff out of metal.

I do continue to seed blueprints for the early stuff just because there was an attempt to ban the files. Shame I don't have the hardware to use them.

sure this isn't a trap?

because it looks like it's machined metal and not printed atf-kun

these kind of confuse me. if your in close enough to where a liberator style pistol would be effective, wouldn't a fixed blade knife do just as well if not better?

>>579325

The advantage is that that's not a firearm.

>it looks like it's machined metal

No it doesn't, no it's not, and you're an idiot.

The cross hatching you're misinterpreting as tooling marks is part of the rapid prototyping process. The machine extrudes one layer going left-right, the next up-down, and so on. The exact spacing and thickness of the strands depends on the print setting and the machine setup. Furthermore, most setups only use 100% density on the exterior surfaces, with the bulk of the material being mostly hollow. This is done to save material.

Second, the mainspring, barrel, firing pin, and bolts are all metal. The parts that are printed are just flat sheets and brackets, which begs the question of why did someone waste machine time and material on something they could have just as easily made with a hand drill, jeweler's saw, and a file?

>you need percussion caps

As far as I know Europe has yet to ban strike anywhere matches. Early WW1 era corrosive primers are apparently pretty easy to make with basic chemistry, but I've never seen instructions.

Sadly this won't ever happen, this is why I'm working on making an EDM CNC machine with 3d printer parts so we can cut metal. See >>581098

>Are they able to print guns that don't break after a few rounds yet?

Guns made from total fdm plastic? No. Guns that have Fdm plastic that also use metal for the pressure bits like fasteners, the firing bolt and barrels. Yes. Vid related.

3d plastic printing should only be use in the home shop if plastic is strong enough for the job you need done.

>>581100

If you can figure a way to make a cnc underwater welding work and combine it with the EDM you've made a metal 3d printer.

>>579386

Tbh, you can get 9mm PAK ammo over here easily, and I guess you could remove the primers and use them as percussion caps if you made a custom nipple for them.

>>581272

You take out the anvil to the boxer primer and add really fine foil, like the sort you see on swiss chocolate. It'll work then.

>>581810

All you ever need to know.

>>581810

that looks like the grandfather of the modern inline muzzleloader.

>>581264

what if someone made a 3d printer that used wax, and then used those wax parts in lost wax casting?

>>583754

You can print "sand" molds with powder based printers.

>>583754

Then you've made a 3d that prints wax parts. Kinda straight forward. Vid related to explain what i was talking about by 3d metal printer by welding.

This is actually brilliant, since if black powder arms aren't restricted by ITAR, this can be distributed freely on the internet by 56%rs

If I wanted a homemade single-shot weapon, I would just use a homemade higher caliber air gun. There are videos online demonstrating them and talking a bit about how to make them. They can even be used as shotguns too.

>>584604

>giving a shit about ITAR

>>579386

>you could make a similar contraception from sheet metal, so I really don't see the point of this thing.

This is what I'm wondering too. Presumably those who have 3d printers want to use it on everything even if there's a cheaper and better way available. "When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail."

Also, why do all these guns have such a short barrel?

…and now I'd like to build a three-shot derringer-style pistol, if only I had access to .22 ammunition.

>>579386

Any chance of you posting said metric caplock pistol plans?

Guys please

Where the fuck can i oder or buy reloading powder in the Schengen Europe area for various calibers without permit ?

It is sooo fucking difficult to get acess to it.

It's driving me crazy

I do not intend to harm anyone or be a criminal i just want to follow my passions for firearms.

Please guys, any tips, any hints would be appreciated.

How well would a 3d printed sten jig work?

>>597230

Prove that you are huwhite.

>>597295

Prove that you are not a nigger you french motherfucker, you just wait, we will invade you again and play the Pariser Einzugsmarsch again.

Come on guys, i'm just a German gun nut wanting to exercise his passion for firearms peacefully and it's fucking hard doing that only with black powder. Ok cool i have 12 guage and 38 special black powder cartridges but i can't shoot my AR-15 or my 9mm reliably with fucking BP loads.

>>578265

Next step black powder revolver?

>>597440

I've been wondering about this for a while now. I've been thinking it might be possible to use 3D printable composites to make black powder revolvers. Though if we the composites can handle cartridge revolvers with BP loads, I see no reason we couldn't do a BP cartridge semiauto with those same materials.

>>603110

Early Maxims used black powder cartridges. Now imagine a Vickers turned into a rifle. It would be extremely autistic and cute.
