    Oh I thought they meant fully 3d printed because that is an explosive in your hand.

      there are plastic 3D printed guns where the barrel is plastic. Its springs and the firing pin that would need to be metal. When your gun only needs to work for a dozen shots with subsonic ammunition, 3D printed plastic can be fine.

      The shizo abe deleter was also was also homemade from weak materials. That’s enough when you only intend to use the gun once.

      There are real processionally manufactured guns made mostly from plastic like the glock, and there are new strong printable plastics. 3D printed guns are feasible, people make them as a hobby.
