I 3D-Printed a Glock to See How Far Homemade Guns Have Come
The first-ever shooting competition exclusively for home-assembled firearms-or so-called “ghost guns”-was held in late June at a Florida gun range. These are guns with no serial numbers and thus no easy way for authorities to track down the owner or manufacturer.
The shooting contest was organized by a digital gun building collective called Are We Cool Yet? or AWCY, a group that has been pushing the envelope of what’s possible with 3D-printed arms, including a full-auto submachine gun, a “battle rifle,” and some designs that are totally unique.
Today's 3D-printed "ghost guns" can look, feel, and shoot like factory-made weapons.
To meet these gunmakers and get a true sense of what 3D-printed guns are capable of these days, VICE News correspondent Keegan Hamilton decided to enter the shooting contest in Florida-and build his own ghost gun, a 9mm Glock 19 pistol.

Pedophiles playing with guns.... he snitched on Pedophiles playing with guns. [ 21:10 ] Oh and If anyone wants to get into semantics and say "only one guy is a pedo!!!!" Okay, lets break it down and look at this without broad generalizations. Atleast 'one' convicted pedo (that we know of) and a group of people who allow pedophiles in their circles. This alone is screaming not so lowkey pedophile ring. (and thats without judging by the looks of some of them) If you wanna go deeper lets consider the fact that pedophiles have a statistical track record of grouping up to exchange cp and commiting sex crimes against minors together. Not only encouraging eachother, protecting/blackmailing eachother to avoid getting caught, but also corrupting and disturbing the minds of the confused and abused children to continue this sick and evil behavior. WHEN CODY SAYS "These types of people... these young MEN 'quasi alienated.' " The young men there are likely being groomed and steered into becoming acting pedophiles themselves if not already. With Cody Wilsons reputation, it only makes sense for militant, politically charged pedophile MEN to flock to these types of events. *edit added the word pedo before MEN If you dont snitch on pedophiles, who are you? I'd snitch on pedophiles stealing, I'd snitch on a pedophile selling weed. Bet your ass I'd definitely snitch on pedophiles making guns, and oh I'd absolutely snitch on the pedophile proudboy meet up. And before anyone calls me a liberal, i support your ammendment rights your free speech your guns. Its all yours. If all these men who love guns and so much want to make some real change in America... well you know what to do.

The slam-fire shotgun is the one item that puts all the controversy to rest as far as I'm concerned.

Something to keep in mind, I don't think this was specifically mentioned in the video, but a "ghost gun" is classified as a firearm without a serial number; this means that a gun made by GLOCK or Springfield can have that firearms serial number scratched off, thus making it a "ghost gun". Keep in mind, when you hear all these reports about "ghost guns", a great majority of them are from regular firearms that just have their serial numbers scratched or defaced. Plus, even if someone does end up making a "ghost gun", they still have to test it out somewhere, and depending on where you live, that may be close to impossible without raising questions (LA or NY for example). Considering everything in this video, which the journalist (I forget his name) remained pretty non-biased, it's clear that it's easier, cheaper, and raises less questions to buy a firearm illegally and scratch off the serial number than making a 3D printed gun from scratch, file it down down, and refine it without using live ammo

Issue is they printed it an angle which results in low smoothness of the straight surfaces. They should've printed it upside down parallel to the print bed. There are also modifications that could be done to avoid sagging of some of the critical surfaces. Also they printed it from PLA which is not easy to sand and can melt easily, ABS would be a much better choice. Lastly the above info is just normal 3D printer dude kind of knowledge.

The truth of it is that criminals aren't making the guns because the skill to do so is marketable and wouldn't require someone without the ability to make an honest living, unless you're making the guns for them to profit from criminals. Which would be a great opportunity to catch criminals in of itself.

They may do a lot of the clickbaity topics: drugs and lifestyle. If you feel personally injured by one of their publishings, then you should probably reflect upon yourself and life. Vice senior leadership and its founders are all over the political spectrum which puts them, imo, perfectly in the centrist category where all journalism should be. It's unfortunate that extremism from both political angles have taken over the top media outlets.

whish has always been possible and is very common for criminals. ghost guns aren't a new issue, anyone with a brain can figure out that removing the marking on a gun makes it harder to track if it were used for crime. the difference and the thing that could be a genuine concern is that you can at home, relatively easily make a fully plastic gun, that is undetectable. at the end of the day, if someone wants to illegally acquire a gun, they will be able to, regardless of if it's bought from someone else, or homemade. as a European, I'm all for putting restrictions on firearms, but with the sheer amount of guns circulating in the US, it's pointless to even try, the guns are already out there.

similarly, homemade bombs were always doable. get a pipe, plug off the ends with a small hole for a fuse, put a bunch of powder in it, and here you go, a grenade. the sheer existence of 3D printing doesn't all of a sudden make it possible, it just makes it maybe a little easier in certain cases, but that it.

And the drone "bombs"? Seriously folks? You can make the same thing with a empty soda can, you don't need to 3d print a fancy looking mini-nuke like your playing fallout. The hard part isn't something you can 3D print. The hard part is the blasting cap/detonator and the high explosives you need to fill it with.

Why read and understand gun laws before complaining about them? That seems hard!

Explosives and grenades can ALREADY be made with just some basic shop tools and household items. Just look at terrorists making ieds out of random garbage they have. There's guides on youtube on how to make certain explosives.
Seems like the big takeaway is that this is actually very hard to do. And even when pros do it, the guns are not nearly as reliable as a factory gun.
"I 3D-Printed a Glock" No you didnt, you 3d printed a frame.
Thank you Vice for this awesome commercial. I'm now convinced to get a 3D printer. 👍

The reporter shouldn't be handling a gun. He keeps pointing it at other people. It doesn't matter if you think the gun is safe you never point it at another person. smh

For only $350 in gun parts and plastic, and several days of your life, you too can own a gun that runs worse than a $200 hi-point meme gun.

Yes but it’s perfectly fine as a throw away m3rd3r weapon though… IJS a lot of people who would want this aren’t interested in cycling hundreds of rounds reliably.

I’m not into guns but could totally see the fun in printing your own design and building it up. For some, printing and building is half of the fun!

How about a knife? Forging a knife? Forging a knife is a lot cheaper compared to 3d printing.
