The 'Liberator' is a 3D-printable single shot handgun, the first such printable firearm design made widely available online Main article: 3D printed firearms In 2012, the U.S.-based group Defense Distributed disclosed plans to design a working plastic gun that could be downloaded and reproduced by anybody with a 3D printer .
It fits under the rail of a Samson or similar rail system on the AR-15-type rifle, but can to perform acceptably on bolt action 7.62×51mm/.308 rifles as well), 762-AR10 Suppressor (designed for the AR-10/LAR-8 7.62mm/.308 rifle but will also work with any bolt-action rifle in .30 caliber or less) and 762-G3 Suppressor (designed for the Heckler ...
Although it is possible to create fully-printed plastic firearms and silencers, these tend to have short working lives. [ 2 ] 3D-printed gun culture is built around the printing of open-source firearm frames and receivers , the use of standard, metal commercial components (like an action and barrel ), and other parts that can be made or ...
A homemade firearm, also called a ghost gun or privately made firearm, is a firearm made by a private individual, in contrast to one produced by a corporate or government entity. [1] The term ghost gun is used mostly in the United States by gun control advocates, but it is being adopted by gun rights advocates and the firearm industry.
A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor, or sound moderator, is a muzzle device that suppresses the blast created when a gun (firearm or airgun) is discharged, thereby reducing the acoustic intensity of the muzzle report (sound of a gunshot) and jump, by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas released from the ...
The design is a remix of an earlier 3D printable firearm, the Shuty AP-9 pistol by Derwood. [12] Where the "Shuty" relied on several factory-made or machined gun parts (like the barrel) in order to be completed, the FGC-9 made ergonomic and mechanical changes to accommodate builders without access to commercial gun parts or machine shops.
Philip Andrew Luty (19 October 1964 – 8 April 2011) was an English activist opposing gun control, who was notable for the production of homemade firearms and manuals providing instruction at the same time. He was charged with illegal arms construction in the late 1990s and sentenced to four years in prison, with other investigations ongoing ...
Animation of the Vickers muzzle booster operation, showing the expanding gases pushing the barrel to the rear relative to the cooling jacket. A Vickers-type muzzle (or recoil) booster, the "typical" type, consists of two parts: a flared "cup" on the muzzle of the barrel, and a perforated tube around the end of the muzzle, attached to the main body of the weapon.
