This is basically how today’s 3d printed guns work, but even still the gun isn’t good for more then a few magazines afaik. So it’s interesting as a way to create a gun that isn’t serialized and the ATF can’t trace, but it’s not durable, and it still requires a good deal of precision engineering/cost, so its not feasible to print a truck-load and sell them for cheap.
The video kind of proves my point. It was janky, he fired <20bullets, and it jammed several times during the demo. Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool as hell, but yea not very practical for anything and certainly not durable enough to be a viable alternative to CNC/Milling.
My understanding is that the metal parts are bought. The only part of a gun that is controlled legally is fine in plastic

How many mass shooters finish more than a few magazines? My guess is very few
Probably the same number that used 3d-printed guns.
Only a few magazines you say.
