3D printing is great for prototyping. And could even be good for some gun parts. But CNC will subtractive will always be better for something things.

@ALternativeToLife Based, I have Sig 1911, not sure if they have different dimensions, I'll DM you the measurements tonight.

@Trommm Absolutely.

There's one company that combined a 3D printer with a CNC machine, so it can add and subtract as needed. That seems like the direction things will go eventually.

Yeah, I can see the technology speeding up and streamlining production processes in the firearms industry.

i can already make guns in my college all the machinery is there

i can hand make springs also

it's not too hard

Oh yeah, well it is not hard to make a firing gun. It is always just a question of complexity.

That is crazy, no idea how they make the springs usually?

yes

Turning steel?

AL needs to become master of this craft

yes

just turn it over a pipe

In the 90s when the war started the (((UN))) employed a weapon embargo so the Croatian military could not get firearms into the country.

A lot of people made homemade weaponry.

drill hole in pipe of desired spring size and stick steel rod in hole then twist the steel rod around the pipe

@VukHR Liberators are pretty easy to make. Same idea, single shot, easy for untraceable self-defence.

@Weaboo Kempeitai Liberators are a big larp.

lol, this guy doesn't know you're gonna become brazil

damn

I think the general problem is to get ammunition and not the weapons for self defence for people who live in restrictive countries.

i think i might do this full time

just 3D print grips etc,

looks like fun tbh

and as far as i can see no one else is making custom grips at least not cheaply

@VukHR Not really, they're cheap, easy to make, just extremely inaccurate, and single-shot. That's not the point. They're essentially a modern rendition of the Liberators of WW2. They serve the same purpose.

This is just one company combining additive and subtractive. I want a desktop version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72_ThaLBr7Y

The people who source illegal firearms in restrictive countries are those who have connections to the various organized crime gangs who just smuggle guns from eastern europe in the west.

@Weaboo Kempeitai That is why this thing is LARPing.

>innacurate >single shot

i can ezily make grips like this

I'll send you measurements from my model.

I don't think you understand the point of the Liberator. During WW2, the Liberator served as a form of psychological warfare.

I do not think those airsoft replicas are true.

something like this, would require injection molds, but maybe it is possible with resin printers, i hope so

@Weaboo Kempeitai I do, I know exactly what they were employed for.

The problem is you have no idea about armed self defence.
