Here’s what’s crazy! NYC put soooooo much effort into this crime. Do they do that for everyone? Every Mother or Father that was blanked? No, and that’s sad!
I am am avid 3D printed firearm experimenter and the 3D printed part is the lower or frame - like a Glock. The internals, slide, barrel and rails are steel. A stock factory (or aftermarket) upper slide assembly works on them just fine. 3D printed plastic suppressors exist and work just fine - for about 20 rounds before they start getting... soft. Buuut... if you know you're only going to use it for a limited number of shots - party on!
Well, that much heat and pressure, I'd be getting pretty soft too. ;) As for slide, one could in theory go with lower power cartridges, say up to .380, wouldn't want to trust anything 9mm or larger though, way too much shearing force and percussive force. Barrel, we still can't quite get that big of a reach in pressure and heat tolerance, not to mention friction from the round. Rails, I do remember some experimental rails from Teflon years ago, as I recall they were abandoned due to mostly labor costs vs just making the entire mess from steel and bonding it in a bit easier. But, that was in rehab work on steel framed pistols anyway, Big Army wanting to rebuild the worn out M1911's before the M9 was adopted. Don't see how the technology can improve to the point of countering the heat, friction and pressure though, printed plastics are still thermoplastic. We'd need to figure out a plastic that starts out thermoplastic, then basically won't melt a second time and it's been melted twice to begin with, first to make the spooled product, then to form the object that was printed. Still, plastic technologies have come a long way throughout my lifetime, from 1960's weak or brittle or both to robust objects that have good longevity and some, quite weather resistant as well.
@@spvillano They kind of have that already - as far as heat resistant 3D printed parts - kind of. It involves a 3D printed 'plastic' with a very high metal powder content. The 3D printed 'green' part is then heated for specific time and temperature in kiln, burning away the plastic binder and fusing (sintering) the remaining metal powder. Leaving behind a metal component. Some of the major suppressor manufacturers already use this technique to produce their "3D printed" suppressors. There is also direct 3D metal printing involving lasers and metal powder, which is becoming closer and closer of a reality for a "desktop" machine, like regular plastic 3D printers are today.
I I seriously doubt that the pistol frame was 3D printed. Most likely it is a finished 80% frame. Isn’t it interesting that the media has demonized the legal process of building a firearm at home?
Huh, hadn't realized that 80% receivers aren't serialized. Had to look it up. Makes sense though, screw it up badly enough, not a biggie to destroy and start over with another one without all of the paperwork and proof of destruction. Still, we'll hear now, "There needs to be a law against...", because apparently, premeditated murder is legal or something? Although, there should be a law against shoddy workmanship, alas, they won't allow us to outlaw China. I'll just get my coat...
"ghost guns" lmao. It takes no advanced reasoning skills to realize that a 3d printed plastic cannot make a chamber, recoil springs, barrel or firing pin. But the media wants unfamiliar people to believe that is the case. The only way this gun could be 3d printed is if he used something like a Glock slide, rails internals and printed a clone of the frame.... Still need to purchase or machine the main components of the gun.
You called it first in your videos and logically explained why you didn't believe it was a bolt action firearm he was using. Well done work on your part sir.
I was saying much the same, largely due to body mechanics. Motions were all wrong for a screw bolt gun. Misfeeds was more likely though. If he'd wanted to just drop marked rounds, it'd have been lower risk and easier overall to just have a few loose rounds in the pocket to drop on the ground. Silly ejecting live rounds between shots doesn't make sense in what was otherwise actually fairly well planned.
I watched the CNN gun expert today saying he didn’t think it was THE gun, then he pulls out the Welrod, they put so much energy saying it’s one type of gun, that they can’t swallow the fact that they’ve been wrong the whole time. Like you pointed out on your first video, the action you see doesn’t back it up, are they watching the same video as I am? So hilarious.

I agree that they will be making movies and writing books on this case, theyre probably writing right now as we speak. 😂
I think the 2 position strap on the last Submariner you showed is so that it can be on your wrist then adjusted larger to wear over the sleeve of your wetsuit.
I have a 9mm SBR in 9 mm with a 7.5" barrel and I developed some 147 grain loads for it and it works just fine. I am using Silhouette powder which is a bit slow for the cartridge but I figured it was appropriate because of the barrel length. It's more accurate than factory since those are loaded for shorter barrels. It cycles just fine.
I got completely laughing out loud when you commented on the “Safety Sally’s”! As a dealer and gunsmith I obviously work with customers and guns they are interested in. I see that ridiculous behavior from time to time!
Your safety lesson cracks me up, especially since other gun handling TH-camrs often waste my time going on about how they checked out the gun they’re handling, I’ve never have actually been concerned of getting shot from a TH-camr video. 🤣🤣🤣
So if you point a gun at the camera, it won't go through the magic of TH-cam and reach my house? For all of this time, I had been wrong. Whenever someone pointed a gun at the camera in a video, I would run to safety. 😂🎉
Your gun safety lecture is giving single action revolver flashbacks. Trying to explain the rules to fools makes actual gun owners wanna cry. Congratulations on the recent success of your channel.
Apparently from the images provided by the media it appears to be polymer 80 Glock 19 style pistol, threaded barrel and Glock slide, all parts that can be purchased online. Didn’t see much information about the suppressor.
You are correct about the Safety Sallies LoL! The Same applies for people who are make videos by in a room themselves and their wearing N95 respirators!
Hey, there's been times I was tempted to wear an N95 indoors. Ragweed was murder this year. :/ As for the Safety Sallies bit, I'll have to wait a bit to watch the video, as I'm downloaded a couple of distros and that'll choke the video off badly. Oh well, got time to kill and need a pack of smokes...
The frame is clearly a 3d print. Look behind the magwell and there's that little space that still has some evidence of printing. The grip is also a bit of a different shape in the back. Barely noticeable. Another thing that I didn't pickup on was the first shot. He aimed center mass at his back but the bullet hit his leg. Baffle strike? Indicates a home build.
@thetexasgunvault2 MAC channel brought up the possible baffle strike so that wasn't my idea. I've owned polymer 80 guns and it doesn't quite match in my opinion. It could be a different frame manufacturer but to me it looks like I can see print lines and plastic "hairs" for lack of a better term. I'm reaching a bit outside my area of experience but these are my observations. Pictures were all taken on potatoes with lighting from a gas lamp apparently so I could be dead wrong.
If you look at the video image of the man aiming his weapon, notice the light reflecting off the suppressor. The same light reflection is absent at the gun barrel. The light we see reflecting off the suppressor is known as specular return, or the reflection of light at an equal and opposite angle as the light source. In this case, it provides a direct comparison between the shape of the suppressor and the barrel.
Reloaded 9mm for 30 years. The quantity of powder for a 115 gr cartridge would greatly overpressure a 147 gr........ Ex: 115 grn at 5.0 grains of Power Pistol (lowest amount) is the maximum powder charge for a 147 grain bullet.
Interesting how they conflate "ghost gun" and "3d printed gun". Not the same. For an experienced persons view on 3d printed guns, check PSR (print, shoot, repeat). And just for good measure, print.
That was my big problem too. I am a pilot, and every time a general aviation aircraft crashes, the news tries to become experts in aviation. It’s always a Cessna or Piper. Yes ghost guns are real, but to the best of my knowledge 3D printed semi automatic pistols do not exist, as explained in this video.
They said both the gun and the suppressor were 3D printed. The liberator was the ww2 cheap 45acp that they were supposed to drop for resistance fighters for either assassinations or until you get better weapons. They were single shot guns that were awkward to reload. So if that 1 shot didn't do the trick you were screwed. That is where the name came from for the 2013 3D Liberator gun which as you stated was the first 3D printed gun. If made from right material it had a lifespan of about 8 to 10 shots of .380acp though 9mm versions were tested. There were debates over the release of plans on the internet. Also I wanted to add that it was not only the live rounds that were ejected that contained writing on them. They said some spend casing had words written DELAY, DENY, DEPOSE not just the live rounds. So it's possible the gun jammed

Thanks Texas Gun again. More info "trickling'' out, Still ifs a maybes. Me thinks 1. Is it the gun that was used? 2. If it was and is a "ghost gun'' how? Components home made or what?3. Will the accused reveal all if ? 4. Will we the mug public get the real story. Watching with interest, Cheers
It's a Polymer 80 PFC9 frame ,i bought one when they first came out as their complete gun ..I belive his n is the frame without the serial number and stippled
Big brother immediately removed my original post, so I'll try again. I wouldn't be surprised if the extent of 3D printing involved with the g in question, amounts to a set of removable grips. That way they can use this incident to enact more legislation, banning the printing of certain items all together.
You do not need to pull the trigger on a glock to remove the slide. Lock slide to rear, remove endplate, pull the striker out slightly and turn it left or right, remove slide. Replace the striker and then replace the end plate.
Well, you know I’m watching the whole video, you have great taste in watches, as you, mechanical watches are my preference, the Tudor Pelagos 41 is my daily watch, but look into the Grand Seiko brand, specifically the 9R65 caliber, parts on this watch are all made in-house, impressive. Thanks for sharing, love the Sub 👌🏼
@ The other thing you will note from the experts is how there’s virtually no dust inside the face when under high magnification, much better than a Rolex in that respect. Just cool info.
There is a video by VICE on 3D printed weapons, not only there are pistols that cycle automatically but there are some fully automatic 3D printed rifles. Note that the barrel in some cases might be the original barrel or a metal rod.
Being new to your content I noticed you didn't wear a watch and that surprised me, I almost commented on it. 90% of the time, I wear a Seamaster 300M (210.30.42.20.04.001) primarily due to the push-and-slide micro-adjust claps. My first watch was a 1963 Seagull chronograph on a plain leather strap that is probably my second most worn watch. Now that it appears most of the incident in NYC has pretty much run its course I think I'll stick around for your normal content. I hope you have some reviews of some of the more modular suppressor systems on the market.
If it were the same weight of round with less powder then I think it would likely cause a malfunction. But since they use a heavier bullet with roughly the same powder it should still function relatively the same.
Curious if you still think he staggered the rounds and manually cycled because he wanted to eject the "messages". I'm only halfway through this video so apologies if you address this later in the video!
Personally, I view TH-cam as information and entertainment. In this case there was a grainy video, initial speculation from the NYPD regarding what gun was used, and numerous videos were generated by content creators speculating based on their experience what is was. Obviously some got it more right than others and even with the clearer pictures of the gun released yesterday there is still room for interpretation. One of the videos posted by a prominent “guntuber” over the past few days still has me shaking my head was regard to “cycling issues due to the need to have ‘special’ subsonic ammo in 9mm”. Maybe his experience centers around 115 and 124 gr 9mm Luger ammo, which is typically supersonic. As you note in this video, heavier bullets (specifically 147 gr) can be subsonic and function perfectly fine in most semi-auto pistols. This aligns with my personal experience - I have never had a functional issue with 147 gr commercial ammo or reloads in semi-autos with barrel lengths from 3 inches to 5 inches, noting none of these were "Frankenstein" builds or shot suppressed. Most 147 gr 9mm Luger ammo is subsonic (regardless of whether “Subsonic” is prominently labeled on the box), including personal defense offerings by name brand ammo companies. Even whether subsonic ammo was used is somewhat speculative.
Print. I didn't post it on your video, but my WAG has always been a Glock 19 with a solvent trap. I bet I was close. Super nice watch collection. I've always been a Seiko guy.
Ghost Guns have come a long way. Just because its 3D printed doesnt mean He made it at home either. But who knows its still so early, the media is probably wrong anyway lol.
@@thetexasgunvault2 some points you made were valid. I thought it might be home built in some form for tracking purposes. I thought he might be a "semi" pro if there is such a thing.
@@thetexasgunvault2 I guessed it might have been "assembled." Also, I guessed he may have been "semi" pro if there is such a classification it that line of work.
He reminds me of an AI version of an "assassin". From his attire, to his location and his get away and ofcourse the suppressor and the custom bullets. 007/Wick vibes.
The firearm used by the suspect may *Not* of had ANY ejection or cycling problems at all. Apparently the suspect was intentionally ejecting rounds, that he had marked in advance, with his own cryptic messages.
There are metal 3D printer, usually called metal additive manufacturing in this case. The machine is pretty expensive, I guess he had to got some help for it.
It was probably an 80%er with a Glock clone slide and barrel. I'm guessing he made his own suppressor from hardware store parts or bought one private party transfer or black market.....LOL. I doubt he printed anything. the media just wants to spin things like the "assassins'" well rod B&T gun thing LOL. I don't think there is any 3D printed slide that would work unless you added weights to it and metal rails. That would be difficult to do especially considering high heat from use melting things. The frame could be 3D printed I guess, it would need to be able to take a rail system like from a modular sig or some other 80% kit. I guess you are ok with destroying your camera LOL love it!
This is just to show that reporters actually read youtube comments and insane conjectures and will definitely run with it. Just keep repeating the same stuff on youtube comments on multiple videos and somebody will pick it up and will make it into mainstream media. *People complaining of guns being pointed to the camera are the same people that gleefully clap in the movie theaters after a movie.
people think subsonic and they automatically think less pressure wont cycle and in fact they are the same pressure they just use heavier grain bullets to go slower!
So two things................. 1. You give the media and LEO's way too much credit. I don't think there is any way the shooter printed his own gun and even if he did, he's getting the metal components from the usual suspects, so it makes sense it's probably an 80% lower that he (or someone he knows/paid) finished for him. Nowadays everything is an assault rifle and ghost gun. 2. Funny you mention people ducking/flinching when the muzzle covered the camera. I saw Pulp Fiction in the theater and when Sam Jackson turned around and muzzled the camera...........yup full flinch and duck by me in the theater. We know what happened to the guy in the back seat afterwards, so I felt better about ducking when I left the theater.
@@thetexasgunvault2 Brother I almost died watching Ace Ventura 2. When Ace was crawling out of the butt of the rhino decoy.............I could not breathe and had back pains. Closest I've come to death.
The frame of the pistol(G19) is printed and uses aftermarket slide, barrel, small parts, etc. PSR has a good chann6on printed guns. He apparently also had it loaded with FMJ and while its hard to tell from a pic, they look like 115gr. So, this guy's image is just falling apart.
You’ve been closer to the truth than any MSM reports. The kid is an engineer, I’m sure there’ll be some Interesting developments . Stop pointing that gun at me!
@thetexasgunvault2 Polymer rails would work, and a steel locking block could be purchased and inserted. Of course, a Glock OEM pistol would be better and last longer, but we're talking 3D printer options.
@@philipreagan8090 I don’t think the barrel, chamber, & firing pin can be 3d printed shooting more than a round in 9mm. Otherwise we can make zip guns out of plastic pipe from Home Depot. I’m no SME, but saying this is 3d printed is odd.🤔 However, the suspect has Bachelors & Masters degrees in Engineering, so he is a much better Subject Matter Expert than I am.
Hello Jason, don't fall into all of the negativity that goes on in our every day life... Everyone that is wrong finds a way to flip the script..! I am done with the situation let the authorities to be gather the facts. It's sad the world we live in today we act as if we are watching a movie forgetting that children lost their daddy in this manner is disturbing in itself..! Jason you're beginning to scare me bruh so lets get back to the 1911, 2011 videos... 😎
@ I really enjoyed the video and you did call it that it was not the station pistol. I still believe that a 3D printed lower with otherwise stick parts is a regular gun and not a 3D printed gun so I believe you had that right as well
I called it! Where's my prize? He 3D printed the lower, used a Glock upper (that also has a serial number, but doesn't require a background check). These are prone to failure, so my theory that he printed/tested, then printed a "fresh copy" that didn't fail/failed once for the crime still fits. CNN is making it a point to use the term "ghost gun" as many times as they can... laws against the hobby wouldn't have stopped this, the technology is out. Luckily it still takes a little bit of skill. It's always a good idea to clear the weapon on camera, just in case someone uninformed is watching. Lenny at the Glock Store channel is really good at doing this smoothly as part of the video.
Great vid. BTW, retired NYPD police Captain Monahan said tonight when he saw the photo of the gun they got from our suspect, "That is NOT a 3D printed gun. That is a proper manufactured gun", Love the watches. BTW, I have a black dial Seiko Turtle, came on a silicon strap. Bought new Dec. 2016 for $295. After 5 years it was losing 10 min. in 3 days and my watchmaker said he could not adjust it. It was too far gone after 5 years. Said he owned one too. Swiss trained watch maker. Karkazian Jewelers in Fresno on Bullard Ave. Everyone calls him Z. Long Armenian name. BUT he said for $175 Total he could get and install a new 4R36 movement. Those are available from Seiko. I had it done. Now after 18 mos it runs like a new watch. Loses 2 min. in 2 weeks. I love it. It is accurate, reliable (runs for 10 hours overnight off the wrist), rugged, it is very comfortable on my wrist. It does not rotate over the far edge of my wrist. One tiny flick and it is where it should be. The white hands and markers jump out well from the black dial, so it just hands me the time. All that has to work on a watch. Comfortable with the silicon strap. I B 3 more when I B the watch and they are still in a drawer after 8 years. I like the look. NObody thinks its a Rollie so nobody will murder me for it. A lot can be wrong with a watch, but the Seiko Turtle on the strap is just perfect for me. It is every bit as accurate and reliable as a $12,000 Sub. Glad I put the diff. into NVDA and TSLA. Recommend both!! In 1998 I B a Breitling Intruder, slate grey dial, quatz for $920 new from Tourneau in New York, new. No sales tax since they did not yet have a B and M in California. They sold out to somebody else about a year ago. My prize watch. It looks like all the other $5,000 Breitlings.
Here’s what’s crazy! NYC put soooooo much effort into this crime. Do they do that for everyone? Every Mother or Father that was blanked? No, and that’s sad!
Yes, it is very sad. You are right.
Well they put a lot of effort investigating Trump.😂

Your safety lesson cracks me up, especially since other gun handling TH-camrs often waste my time going on about how they checked out the gun they’re handling, I’ve never have actually been concerned of getting shot from a TH-camr video. 🤣🤣🤣
Lol, me either. You are totally safe.
So if you point a gun at the camera, it won't go through the magic of TH-cam and reach my house?
For all of this time, I had been wrong. Whenever someone pointed a gun at the camera in a video, I would run to safety. 😂🎉
@ 🤣
Your gun safety lecture is giving single action revolver flashbacks. Trying to explain the rules to fools makes actual gun owners wanna cry. Congratulations on the recent success of your channel.
Don’t worry about the safety police! Keep doing you!
Thank you. I will. I don't let it get me down.
Apparently from the images provided by the media it appears to be polymer 80 Glock 19 style pistol, threaded barrel and Glock slide, all parts that can be purchased online. Didn’t see much information about the suppressor.
Yeah, I hope they release more information soon about it.
The "gun safety" thing must be fun for you. I wouldn't waste a single word on people that uninformed.
Yeah, it kind of is fun to be honest.
You are correct about the Safety Sallies LoL! The Same applies for people who are make videos by in a room themselves and their wearing N95 respirators!
Exactly!
Hey, there's been times I was tempted to wear an N95 indoors. Ragweed was murder this year. :/
As for the Safety Sallies bit, I'll have to wait a bit to watch the video, as I'm downloaded a couple of distros and that'll choke the video off badly.
Oh well, got time to kill and need a pack of smokes...
The frame is clearly a 3d print. Look behind the magwell and there's that little space that still has some evidence of printing. The grip is also a bit of a different shape in the back. Barely noticeable. Another thing that I didn't pickup on was the first shot. He aimed center mass at his back but the bullet hit his leg. Baffle strike? Indicates a home build.
That is a very interesting observation.
@thetexasgunvault2 MAC channel brought up the possible baffle strike so that wasn't my idea. I've owned polymer 80 guns and it doesn't quite match in my opinion. It could be a different frame manufacturer but to me it looks like I can see print lines and plastic "hairs" for lack of a better term. I'm reaching a bit outside my area of experience but these are my observations. Pictures were all taken on potatoes with lighting from a gas lamp apparently so I could be dead wrong.
If you look at the video image of the man aiming his weapon, notice the light reflecting off the suppressor. The same light reflection is absent at the gun barrel. The light we see reflecting off the suppressor is known as specular return, or the reflection of light at an equal and opposite angle as the light source. In this case, it provides a direct comparison between the shape of the suppressor and the barrel.
Very interesting!
Reloaded 9mm for 30 years. The quantity of powder for a 115 gr cartridge would greatly overpressure a 147 gr........ Ex: 115 grn at 5.0 grains of Power Pistol (lowest amount) is the maximum powder charge for a 147 grain bullet.
Thank you for sharing that information.
Heavier projectiles loaded with less powder. It has to do with maximum pressure that barrel can handle
Yes it is.
Interesting how they conflate "ghost gun" and "3d printed gun".
Not the same.
For an experienced persons view on 3d printed guns, check PSR (print, shoot, repeat).
And just for good measure, print.
I will check them out! Thank you!
Guns, cars and Watches, you have three of the big five. You might want to try boats and airplanes to.
LOL! Maybe one day.
That was my big problem too. I am a pilot, and every time a general aviation aircraft crashes, the news tries to become experts in aviation. It’s always a Cessna or Piper. Yes ghost guns are real, but to the best of my knowledge 3D printed semi automatic pistols do not exist, as explained in this video.
Thank you!
we are brothers, luv cars, guns and watches
That is awesome! The finer things in life!
They said both the gun and the suppressor were 3D printed. The liberator was the ww2 cheap 45acp that they were supposed to drop for resistance fighters for either assassinations or until you get better weapons. They were single shot guns that were awkward to reload. So if that 1 shot didn't do the trick you were screwed. That is where the name came from for the 2013 3D Liberator gun which as you stated was the first 3D printed gun. If made from right material it had a lifespan of about 8 to 10 shots of .380acp though 9mm versions were tested. There were debates over the release of plans on the internet. Also I wanted to add that it was not only the live rounds that were ejected that contained writing on them. They said some spend casing had words written DELAY, DENY, DEPOSE not just the live rounds. So it's possible the gun jammed
Thank you for the information!
Somehow I know that this is going to be a big hit on 2A community. These cases always happen so conveniently...
I completely agree.
Great video . Do you have any pocket watches ? That's what I prefer . Thanks for your info .
I do not, but I think they are cool.

Thanks Texas Gun again. More info "trickling'' out, Still ifs a maybes. Me thinks 1. Is it the gun that was used? 2. If it was and is a "ghost gun'' how? Components home made or what?3. Will the accused reveal all if ? 4. Will we the mug public get the real story. Watching with interest, Cheers
I agree. The next few days should be interesting.
It's a Polymer 80 PFC9 frame ,i bought one when they first came out as their complete gun ..I belive his n is the frame without the serial number and stippled
You might be right!
It’s printed. The file name has even been identified
Big brother immediately removed my original post, so I'll try again. I wouldn't be surprised if the extent of 3D printing involved with the g in question, amounts to a set of removable grips. That way they can use this incident to enact more legislation, banning the printing of certain items all together.
I completely agree.
You do not need to pull the trigger on a glock to remove the slide. Lock slide to rear, remove endplate, pull the striker out slightly and turn it left or right, remove slide. Replace the striker and then replace the end plate.
Sure, but that is much more labor intensive and more than the average or common gun owner can / would do.
Well, you know I’m watching the whole video, you have great taste in watches, as you, mechanical watches are my preference, the Tudor Pelagos 41 is my daily watch, but look into the Grand Seiko brand, specifically the 9R65 caliber, parts on this watch are all made in-house, impressive. Thanks for sharing, love the Sub 👌🏼
Thank you so much! The Grand Seikos look so classy.
@ The other thing you will note from the experts is how there’s virtually no dust inside the face when under high magnification, much better than a Rolex in that respect. Just cool info.
There is a video by VICE on 3D printed weapons, not only there are pistols that cycle automatically but there are some fully automatic 3D printed rifles. Note that the barrel in some cases might be the original barrel or a metal rod.
Very interesting.
Being new to your content I noticed you didn't wear a watch and that surprised me, I almost commented on it. 90% of the time, I wear a Seamaster 300M (210.30.42.20.04.001) primarily due to the push-and-slide micro-adjust claps. My first watch was a 1963 Seagull chronograph on a plain leather strap that is probably my second most worn watch.
Now that it appears most of the incident in NYC has pretty much run its course I think I'll stick around for your normal content. I hope you have some reviews of some of the more modular suppressor systems on the market.
I love the Omega Seamasters! I would love the new 007 version! I have reviewed a few modular suppressor designs.
@@thetexasgunvault2 BTW, INTP here.
Beautiful watch collection.
Thank you so much!
Looked like a Glock or similar to me. Maybe a 3D-printed lower or, like you said, a polymer 80, with commercial slide, barrel, trigger group.
I hope they release more information about it.
If it were the same weight of round with less powder then I think it would likely cause a malfunction. But since they use a heavier bullet with roughly the same powder it should still function relatively the same.
Yes. There is always variations, but most subsonic ammo will cycle in a semi-auto pistol just fine.
Old school Lorcin .380 from the 90's. Ha ha ha cant beat it!
I am pretty sure it was a 9mm.
Great update well done thank you
Thank you!
Curious if you still think he staggered the rounds and manually cycled because he wanted to eject the "messages".
I'm only halfway through this video so apologies if you address this later in the video!
I am honestly wait to see what crime scene photos they release. I think that would shed a lot of light on this topic.
We all was thinking he was some kinna urban ninja, then next thing ya know, he gets pinched by a Mickie D employee. Either way.
Yeah, the story is crazy.
@@thetexasgunvault2 Cue John Grisham
Keep up the watch content!
I will talk about them from time to time.
Every time you aim the gun at the camera my phone falls out of my hand 😬😂
LOL!
Personally, I view TH-cam as information and entertainment. In this case there was a grainy video, initial speculation from the NYPD regarding what gun was used, and numerous videos were generated by content creators speculating based on their experience what is was. Obviously some got it more right than others and even with the clearer pictures of the gun released yesterday there is still room for interpretation.
One of the videos posted by a prominent “guntuber” over the past few days still has me shaking my head was regard to “cycling issues due to the need to have ‘special’ subsonic ammo in 9mm”. Maybe his experience centers around 115 and 124 gr 9mm Luger ammo, which is typically supersonic. As you note in this video, heavier bullets (specifically 147 gr) can be subsonic and function perfectly fine in most semi-auto pistols. This aligns with my personal experience - I have never had a functional issue with 147 gr commercial ammo or reloads in semi-autos with barrel lengths from 3 inches to 5 inches, noting none of these were "Frankenstein" builds or shot suppressed. Most 147 gr 9mm Luger ammo is subsonic (regardless of whether “Subsonic” is prominently labeled on the box), including personal defense offerings by name brand ammo companies.
Even whether subsonic ammo was used is somewhat speculative.
I completely agree.
He was an ivy league engineer maybe he didn't have an at home printer but had access to high end 3D printer?
That might be the case, or maybe he had help.
i dont know if it was 3d printed! interested to see more!
Me too!
Print. I didn't post it on your video, but my WAG has always been a Glock 19 with a solvent trap. I bet I was close. Super nice watch collection. I've always been a Seiko guy.
Seikos are nice, and even their entry-level ones are such a great value. Thank you for making it to the end!
I’ve been thinking along the same lines. And so great to see someone else say WAG in the correct usage.
If you 3D printed a gun, can you get it registered?
Depends on the laws where you live and if it needs to be.
Speculation is just what it is - speculation. No worries.
Thank you so much!
Ghost Guns have come a long way. Just because its 3D printed doesnt mean He made it at home either. But who knows its still so early, the media is probably wrong anyway lol.
You are absolutely right.
I shared it around to show people how they were probably wrong.
Might be a printed lower. Uppers normally dont have serials
Well, we all can be wrong, but sometimes people can be more wrong than others.
@@thetexasgunvault2 some points you made were valid. I thought it might be home built in some form for tracking purposes. I thought he might be a "semi" pro if there is such a thing.
@@thetexasgunvault2 I guessed it might have been "assembled." Also, I guessed he may have been "semi" pro if there is such a classification it that line of work.
He reminds me of an AI version of an "assassin". From his attire, to his location and his get away and ofcourse the suppressor and the custom bullets. 007/Wick vibes.
I can see that.
The firearm used by the suspect may *Not* of had ANY ejection or cycling problems at all. Apparently the suspect was intentionally ejecting rounds, that he had marked in advance, with his own cryptic messages.
That's what I heard too.
There are metal 3D printer, usually called metal additive manufacturing in this case. The machine is pretty expensive, I guess he had to got some help for it.
I agree. It was not a "at home" job.
@@SamTan-v1j nope, it's a plastic frame like a Glock. You just print the plastic parts and buy the metal parts to drop in it.
I would love to see that video!!!! You should see if you could collaborate with Adam Savage's TH-cam channel
Thank you, but I am way to small for Tested to even notice me.
I refuse to believe that someone would duck for cover when you pointed your gun at your camera. 😅😅😅
Lol, there were people would said they did. I think they were just trying to be hyperbolic to show how safe they are and wanted others to know.
The “first” common 3D printed gun was called the Liberator.
In homage to the WW2 Liberator.
That was it!
It was probably an 80%er with a Glock clone slide and barrel. I'm guessing he made his own suppressor from hardware store parts or bought one private party transfer or black market.....LOL. I doubt he printed anything. the media just wants to spin things like the "assassins'" well rod B&T gun thing LOL. I don't think there is any 3D printed slide that would work unless you added weights to it and metal rails. That would be difficult to do especially considering high heat from use melting things. The frame could be 3D printed I guess, it would need to be able to take a rail system like from a modular sig or some other 80% kit. I guess you are ok with destroying your camera LOL love it!
I think you are right. I just hope they release more information about it.
I wonder if anyone makes a 3d printed watch?🤔
Lol, maybe a case or parts.
I saw a cop brought on as an expert, who said that the shooter did not use a printed gun for the shooting. The printed gun is a different gun.
Cop's are not experts on gun's at all.
Yes, but the media will always conflate everything.
This is just to show that reporters actually read youtube comments and insane conjectures and will definitely run with it.
Just keep repeating the same stuff on youtube comments on multiple videos and somebody will pick it up and will make it into mainstream media.
*People complaining of guns being pointed to the camera are the same people that gleefully clap in the movie theaters after a movie.
Yes and it takes on law enforcement sources to talk off the cuff and then everyone assumes it is fact.
people think subsonic and they automatically think less pressure wont cycle and in fact they are the same pressure they just use heavier grain bullets to go slower!
Exactly. They don't understand how firearms and ballistics work.
Silent movies? I wonder what kind of silencer they were using.
😆
So two things.................
1. You give the media and LEO's way too much credit. I don't think there is any way the shooter printed his own gun and even if he did, he's getting the metal components from the usual suspects, so it makes sense it's probably an 80% lower that he (or someone he knows/paid) finished for him. Nowadays everything is an assault rifle and ghost gun.
2. Funny you mention people ducking/flinching when the muzzle covered the camera. I saw Pulp Fiction in the theater and when Sam Jackson turned around and muzzled the camera...........yup full flinch and duck by me in the theater. We know what happened to the guy in the back seat afterwards, so I felt better about ducking when I left the theater.
I am glad you survived your movie going experience!
@@thetexasgunvault2 Brother I almost died watching Ace Ventura 2. When Ace was crawling out of the butt of the rhino decoy.............I could not breathe and had back pains. Closest I've come to death.
The frame of the pistol(G19) is printed and uses aftermarket slide, barrel, small parts, etc. PSR has a good chann6on printed guns. He apparently also had it loaded with FMJ and while its hard to tell from a pic, they look like 115gr. So, this guy's image is just falling apart.
I hope they release all the information.
@@thetexasgunvault2
Theres a photo of it out now. I suspect the suppressor is printed too.
You’ve been closer to the truth than any MSM reports.
The kid is an engineer, I’m sure there’ll be some
Interesting developments .
Stop pointing that gun at me!
Lol, thank you!
He would only print the frame and then purchase the other parts
That might be the case, but doesn't the frame still need steel inserts?
@thetexasgunvault2 Polymer rails would work, and a steel locking block could be purchased and inserted. Of course, a Glock OEM pistol would be better and last longer, but we're talking 3D printer options.
Video focusing on 3d printed guns could be interesting
I agree, but I am not a 3D printer expert or even own a 3D printer.
The whole gun was not 3D printed. Just the hand grip, which is the part that is serialized on a Glock.
That part is referred to as the frame.
looks like a polymer 80 lower with Glock upper
Yes it does.
I agree. Safety Sally’s have gone too far
I appreciate them wanting to be safe. They are just silly about it.
Looks like I was pretty dead on on my prediction.
About the 3D printed pistol news?
@ I said in the earlier video that it was most likely a Glock/Glock clone with a homemade suppressor and he was about 30 years old.
There’s a picture of it, it’s a Glock, no picture of the suppressor though.
If you can believe what they show.
I will have to find it and see.
i say ballistics will prove tha is not the pistol!
Maybe so.
I wish they make nice watches for smaller wrists.
They do, you just have to know how to take the bracelet links out.
They do. They make watches of all sizes and bracelet lengths.
I do have a kit to remove the links in watch bands, but most of the best looking watches look about the size of a wall clock on my wrist.
Looks like a 3D printed glock type lower.
Yes it does.
I don't believe it was 3d printed
Its clearly 3D printed
I hope we get to find out and the release more pictures.
It’s time to start believing and then it’s time to don’t stop believing
@@philipreagan8090 I don’t think the barrel, chamber, & firing pin can be 3d printed shooting more than a round in 9mm. Otherwise we can make zip guns out of plastic pipe from Home Depot. I’m no SME, but saying this is 3d printed is odd.🤔
However, the suspect has Bachelors & Masters degrees in Engineering, so he is a much better Subject Matter Expert than I am.
@@kenandbarbie-b6c the gun used may not be the one they show

Thank you very much. It is my 300 blackout build. It can be a little finicky with ammo types.

Always good deals to be had there.
It's not a 3D printed gun - it's a 3D printed pistol lower . The slide is still Glock.
Thanks for the information.
Hello Jason, don't fall into all of the negativity that goes on in our every day life... Everyone that is wrong finds a way to flip the script..! I am done with the situation let the authorities to be gather the facts. It's sad the world we live in today we act as if we are watching a movie forgetting that children lost their daddy in this manner is disturbing in itself..!

I wonder if the walls in the homes of all those "safety Sallies" are full of lead each time they watch some war movie on Netflix. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol! Good point!
I think only the lower half of the pistol was 3D printed.
That is probably the case.
@ I really enjoyed the video and you did call it that it was not the station pistol. I still believe that a 3D printed lower with otherwise stick parts is a regular gun and not a 3D printed gun so I believe you had that right as well
Tell your wife to buy you an outfit to match each watch LOL JK.
She already does. Lol
I also cannot watch James Bond any more, He pointed a loaded gun at me every time...... He is a psycho...
Lol! Exactly!
sbr, you got tax stamp for that sir
I have spent way too much money in tax stamps over the years.
I called it! Where's my prize? He 3D printed the lower, used a Glock upper (that also has a serial number, but doesn't require a background check). These are prone to failure, so my theory that he printed/tested, then printed a "fresh copy" that didn't fail/failed once for the crime still fits. CNN is making it a point to use the term "ghost gun" as many times as they can... laws against the hobby wouldn't have stopped this, the technology is out. Luckily it still takes a little bit of skill.
It's always a good idea to clear the weapon on camera, just in case someone uninformed is watching. Lenny at the Glock Store channel is really good at doing this smoothly as part of the video.
You are right. Any law passed will not stop it.
Supposedly the suppressor was also 3D Printed........ ?
That is what they are saying, so I hope they release more information.
Of course it’s an 80% build, these experts and police seem pretty clueless.
I agree. They have no idea what they are talking about. They just use buzz words.
I told you he wasn't a pro.
Good job
Haters in the comments sections is a thing in u-tube . I could never do u-tube. It’s a rabbit hole in my opinion.

@ I got you. I seem like it can be frustrating. But great being patient and explaining things to viewers that don’t maybe understand.
Great vid. BTW, retired NYPD police Captain Monahan said tonight when he saw the photo of the gun they got from our suspect, "That is NOT a 3D printed gun. That is a proper manufactured gun",
Love the watches. BTW, I have a black dial Seiko Turtle, came on a silicon strap. Bought new Dec. 2016 for $295. After 5 years it was losing 10 min. in 3 days and my watchmaker said he could not adjust it. It was too far gone after 5 years. Said he owned one too. Swiss trained watch maker. Karkazian Jewelers in Fresno on Bullard Ave. Everyone calls him Z. Long Armenian name. BUT he said for $175 Total he could get and install a new 4R36 movement. Those are available from Seiko. I had it done. Now after 18 mos it runs like a new watch. Loses 2 min. in 2 weeks. I love it. It is accurate, reliable (runs for 10 hours overnight off the wrist), rugged, it is very comfortable on my wrist. It does not rotate over the far edge of my wrist. One tiny flick and it is where it should be. The white hands and markers jump out well from the black dial, so it just hands me the time. All that has to work on a watch. Comfortable with the silicon strap. I B 3 more when I B the watch and they are still in a drawer after 8 years. I like the look. NObody thinks its a Rollie so nobody will murder me for it. A lot can be wrong with a watch, but the Seiko Turtle on the strap is just perfect for me. It is every bit as accurate and reliable as a $12,000 Sub. Glad I put the diff. into NVDA and TSLA. Recommend both!!
In 1998 I B a Breitling Intruder, slate grey dial, quatz for $920 new from Tourneau in New York, new. No sales tax since they did not yet have a B and M in California. They sold out to somebody else about a year ago. My prize watch. It looks like all the other $5,000 Breitlings.
That is awesome! I am glad you got your Seiko running well! They are such great watches for the price.
Maybe the gun he had on him wasn’t the one he shot? Maybe it was a decoy?
Maybe. I hope they release the ballistics tests on it.
