Based on the presenters behavior in this video, I think it's best if UK Citizens avoided firearms. You have some sort of cultural hoplophobia that will be hard to overcome anytime soon. You were "terrified" of plastic parts. You had to present yourself as "scared" almost every other minute. After you fired the one and only shot, you showed yourself to be "Traumatized". My grandfather, who was from Coventry and survived the Blitz, would be ashamed of what the English have become.
@rjward1775 it was a blank due to British "health & safety" and insurance purposes. It was very lame. That firearm won't cycle with just a blank. Incredibly frustrating.
Pull your head out your ass, there's thousands of people who still shoot in the UK. British "journalists" are establishment clowns, they'd never send somebody who actually knew shit to make one of these documentaries because that kind of person wouldn't make it into a hit piece on firearms.

wow this is so true, anyone anywhere in the UK can make a gun, an effective gun that’s seen real world combat fighting an oppressive military junta. the UK government should indeed keep this in mind. not like they can do anything about it.
5:00 The printer you're looking at there is £1000. For £400 you could buy a mini lathe, for £700 you could buy a mini milling machine. For almost the same price you could make a fully metal weapon. Or look at designs like the British Sten or Australian Owen Gun. If you put three pipes, a big spring and a block of metal together in the right way you can make a runaway machine gun that won't stop firing until it's empty. Making it semi-auto is actually more work. This scares you because it looks more professional than a simple tube zipgun, not because it's more deadly.

Your goal is to criminalize information? It must seem really scary that people might know something and you don't think they should. "It's so easy" but it's not. The procedure for making a barrel is quite complicated and time consuming. While it's possible to make a complete firearm at home it's not quite click and print easy. Sure you can make some items with little effort but some items are difficult. Then there is the issue of the ammo. I doubt you can just pick up ammo at the shops like a bag of crisps. You had help from an experienced gun builder and think "wow that was too easy" but you are discounting the years of experience he had.
13:55 That shot looked extremely fake. Zero recoil, the bolt didn't move at all, and that muzzle flash was way bigger than I'd expect. Did you use a blank or did you add the noise and muzzle flash digitally? If you were going to fake it what was the point of going to the US, it would have been exactly as real if you'd faked it in the UK?
Yes they were absolutely shooting blanks, rewind a little bit and you can see the blanks on the table 👍 In twitter the guy said they used blanks for insurance reasons
This is very biased and misleading as to how easy these can be made. Anyone can sharpen a stick and make a lethal weapon. Anyone with a lathe and milling machine and the knowledge can make any firearm they like 🤷🏻♂️
Was another program where a guy was raided and some 3d printed guns were found . Forensics had to fire them to see if they would self destruct or fire live rounds . You could see the shock in the forensics guys face as it fired perfectly and multiple shots even with a plastic printed barrel . Serious stuff
5:35 I know "rifle" sounds scarier to you, and your primary goal is to spread fear, but what you're printing is chambered for 9mm, a pistol calibre. If you want to fit this into pre-existing categories, it would best be described as a Pistol Calibre Carbine (PCC) or a Personal Defence Weapon (PDW), both use lower powered rounds and are more compact than rifles.
You don't prevent harm by making people feel even more powerless; this approach could guarantee a negative response. To reduce violence, we should focus on systemic issues like reducing therapy waiting lists to around three months-far shorter than the current 18 months in some areas-encouraging community building, and addressing social isolation. These factors contribute significantly to feelings of hopelessness that can lead to violence. Restricting freedoms can inadvertently fuel the very powerlessness and despair that drive harmful behaviors. For instance, virtually every mass shooting is also a suicide attempt-a tragic manifestation of internal pain being externalized. People who feel supported, have hope, and retain a sense of agency are far less likely to resort to violence. Implementing harsher restrictions is like tightening a stranglehold on someone who’s already distressed, hoping it will calm them down. It might temporarily suppress visible issues, but it often escalates underlying tensions, creating volatile situations. Instead, the most sustainable solution is to de-escalate while fostering conditions that empower individuals and communities. ChatGPT said my previous version was too confrontational, so he's a nicer version.
He did shoot it, but it was a blank per the requirements for insurance while filming. The "health & safety" and insurance requirements were very... frustrating. What didn't come across in this piece was how much fun they had with firearms. I'm disappointed in the narrative versus what I saw in person. I get it, though. I imagine positive information on the subject would never be shown on the BBC.
The twang on a 3D printed firearm must be shocking, it's bad enough with a plastic .22 air rifle. I think the fear behind this might be all over nothing really because printing a gun, assembling it, acquiring the ammunition then going out and using it to commit crimes requires a lot of effort. There are much easier means of causing damage. This is more of a niche thing for collectors and the like.
The technology has ALWAYS been available. Well, maybe not 3d printing ofc. But the means of making a gun. Its just been made easier than before with plenty of guides etc. With all that being said. 2 large factors for places where firearms are not common place 1. You cannot 3d print ammo, you need actual metal materials to handle the pressure, for the primer, ofc the bullet. Etc. Shaping and making that all from scratch, tough 2. A barrel, a pipe that can handle that pressure of the round being fire. Now a gun is still a gun, but the barrel being a smooth pipe and not rifled on the inside to grip and spin the bullet. Itll be good for throwing distance give or take. But aye, its a gun
@AFineChannelForUsing The FGC-9 has a rifled barrel. Electrochemical machining makes it pretty easy, although a dedicated home jobber could also rifle a barrel using a number of more traditional methods.
@ I’m aware of the ECM process - but it takes another level of commitment than just pressing a button on a printer…most low level criminals wouldn’t be bothered learning about it.
Well I’m pretty sure there will be people downloading these blueprints and saving them on a drive/the cloud somewhere and they’ll now have something they can sell on the dark web 👍
So overly dramatic, let's scare the sheep. "OMG! You can make a gun!" FYI, you can pick up all you need to make a gun at the local hardware store, silly. It's a very simple machine. The end game? Amputate all hands and feet (which kill more people than the dreaded "assault rifile"). SMH
