I would say yes. I'll be finished with this within the next few days. Closed bolt, semi auto. Takes .45 glock mags. Designed with help from the /k/ kik group.

They were turned in at a Mexican buyback. The guy who handed them in had like a dozen shotguns as well. He made them just so he could collect the money from turning them in.
>>28315005
I would say yes. The internet and it's spread of information as well as cheap tools has made it so anyone anywhere can find info on making weaponry from materials they can acquire.
I want to make one of these

Thank you. It's the first of many scratch builds for me. Next up is either a bolt action rifle in 5.45 that takes ak mags or a semi auto 12ga. Both are fully designed they just need to be built.
>>28315166
I am planning on doing an in depth overview when I finish but basically it is a direct blow back design, the bolt face is similar to a sten, but it uses a single recoil spring (non captive) and a recess for the hammer of the fire control group remotely similar to the bolt of the ar. Doing Christmas stuff with family right now but if this thread is still alive later I'll explain a little better.

While people shit on it, I really think that 3D printing is a game changer. It's not very easy to make a functional revolver if you have no gunsmithing or metalworking experience. I think it's a great way to help people get armed with functional weaponry.
Google JamesRpatrick for the 3D files for this gun.
>>28315837
I disagree. It should be possible to make a functioning simple 22lr revolver with minimal experience.
>>28315983
I need to make one of those
>>28315837
I see 3d printing as being the most useful for making precise pieces that dont need to be too strong, for example mags and lower recievers. Ive been throwing around an idea for a .22lr smg utilising a 3d printed mag, lower and grip, with steel tubing for the barrel and upper, and a luty style stacked bolt, as well as a 3d printed barrel shroud for easy attachment of an oil filter suppressor.
>>28315005
Possibly. With all the tools out and about for people to just buy, you can do it no problem.
Stens are somewhat simple to make, and are pretty cool to make.

>>28315323
>not going full pirate pistol
>>28316670
My idea is for a "universal" smg with its parts either precisely 3d printed, or simply modified standard steel parts, and in a very common and cheap calibre, even in no funs parts of the world.
>>28315983
The trouble is making precise notches for the hand to rotate the cylinder (a chamber not properly aligning with the barrel will fuck your gun up) Thats why its a lot easier with a 3d printer, one can just add zig zag grooves on the outside of the cylinder. A hand rotated pepperbox revolver isn't too hard to make with simple tools though.
>>28316670
One cool thing about 3D printing is that it can be used for casting parts. You could print the lower, cast it in aluminum (easily melted with a ghetto furnace), and then you'd just have to clean it up a little with some files.

Just make sure to keep the rate of fire low if you ever try to design something like that. One of the problems with P A Luty's submachine gun is the very high rate of fire (1200+ RPM) combined with the 18 round single stack magazine (due to single stack magazines being easier to produce and design a gun around, also good luck designing a reliable .22lr double stack magazine). From looking at how short of bursts people who own full auto guns can fire a less experienced user would only be able to reliably get 5-6 round bursts out of Luty's submachine gun making it less practical than a simpler 2-3 barrel shotgun as the shotgun would have a similar amount of shots before reloading (in amount of projectiles down range with the 2 barrel and trigger pulls with the 3 barrel), wouldn't have the problem of recoil causing subsequent rounds to potentially be off the target, would avoid potential feeding issues, wouldn't have problems with poor quality reloads like a semi auto would, 2-3 12 gauge shells take up less room than an 18 round single stack 9mm magazine, and you could even design your own shells if regular ammo wasn't readily available.
>>28317526
>pretending you are the road warrior is actually more effective than using a shitty homemade subgun
I wasn't expecting that.
>>28317526
You could probably solve the problem by just adding a lead or steel weighted chunk to the rear of the bolt.
>>28315005

You're living in the infancy of distributed manufacturing my friend.
When distributed power hits, shit will really go off the rails.
What is the easiest way for a person who is not very mechanically inclined to get into simple gun modifications? Would gun modifications be a good stepping stone to eventually get into gun smithing?
>>28316999
There are no notches on the cylinder in this design. You simply rotate the cylinder with your thumb, and will know when you've arrived at a bullet due to the hammer constantly being in contact with the drum

Teardrop or snail drum mags for high capacity. Would it work simply to increase bolt mass, or would that impede reliable functioning? if so, how hard is it to make an inertial rate reducer?

It's not hard, the roller has a hammer taped on and the fin an barrel are attached to the jack so if you lift and drop the hammer the round will go off.

Would work better to increase the length of bolt travel, but then you end up with a bigger gun. A rate reducer could be done but would make the gun more complex.

The best bet is a subtractive process. Foam casts better (no burn out needed), and a cnc dremel table is easier to build and run if your only carving foam blocks for casting. Glue foam around a barrel blank, carve and cast into one piece. Less steps more detail.
>>28318437
Yeah, but they are correct. Your the one with the full auto is useful fantasy.
>>28318716
Read. Read a lot. Get a shitty gun from a pawn shop ask if they got anything too rusted for display. Get sand paper, copper wool, some oil and a screw driver set. Make the rust bucket function, not even fire just cycle clean. By then you will have some experience to start asking questions that will educate you. Baby steps.
>>28323229
>Your the one with the full auto is useful fantasy.
I think anyone would generally assume that a submachine gun would be more effective than a double barrel shotgun.
>>28323475
Most people would think a shot gun is useless at range and will throw you across a room at close range too. People are fools generally. Two inaccurate squeezes with a subgun will never be as effective as two well placed shots from a shotgun. Not even mentioning with buck your throwing the same amount of lead just with more accurately.
Even as cover fire a subgun gives you a sec or two of burst max.
But muh dakka!
>>28323554
Best solution would be a luty style subgun with two triggers for easy semiauto/single warning shot full auto burst (thank you Brazilian ghetto gunsmiths). With a bolt action shotgun attached to the top for a longer barrel and leaving room for an under barrel bayonet/light.
Always wanted that for metro/fallout.
>>28323636
Those brazillian ghetto gunsmiths are great. I've seen some nice looking double barrel "sawn-offs" made from scratch. Pretty much only machine tool needed is a lathe to make the barrel (unless youre comfortable with two slam bang barrels) and then mostly files, saws and silver soldering for the rest
>>28323755
We never talk about the double trigger on an open bolt for a SHTF tubegun. The option to tactical single shot should not be underestimated. No need for complicated parts or switches, two simple triggers toggled with two fingers or mashed at once just works.
>>28323830
I agree, for a simple garage gun, its a lot simpler than a selector.
>>28323830
>>28323912
Are you dumb or something? Two separate trigger mechanisms would be much more complicated and prone to failure (parts would have to be made thinner so the gun could accommodate both trigger mechanisms) than a simple selector lever that disengages the disconnecter.
What do you guys think about the spring assisted slam bang design (a not-that-much-poorer man's cobray terminator) its more useable than a standard slambang, only a little more complicated and still easy to make with steel tubing, files and a welder.
>>28323932
M8, its not too hard to have a second trigger. Its just a bit more file work on the triggers and the sear
>>28323936
advantages
>has a normal trigger
disadvantages
>more recoil due to barrel assembly slamming back
>longer to reload due to working against the spring
>gun is heaver due to extra shit
>gun is more complicated to make due to extra shit
If you really want a trigger, just put one on there as a safety to keep the barrel slightly off of the firing pin like they do with the slam bang 37mm launchers and still have the gun manually operated.
>>28323954
I've seen multiple gun designs that went with 2 triggers instead of a selector lever, all of them had the problems that I described.
the #innawoods kik chat is based
>>28323932
Semiauto trigger group is simpler than two luty triggers?
You think im dumb? I think you need to get in the shop and test that out friend.
I don't see how it's that hard desu. Unless you are going for more high pressure rounds, you can get away with a simple break design for 99% of rounds and do fine. Obviously not for high rate weapons like ARs etc but I'm pretty sure a well made break action rifle firing 7.62mm would STILL be enough for a decent shot at a politician.
>>28324148
2 trigger groups from the Luty submachine gun will just give you 2 full auto triggers, you need one to have a disconnecter at which point you might as well go with some sort of fire selector that disengages that disconnecter when you want to fire the gun on full auto instead of adding a second trigger group for full auto fire.
>>28315005
Is there any chance you could come into legal trouble for making guns specifically to make money off police buybacks?
I mean, I know it's illegal to sell a firearm that you have made, like REALLY illegal, but what what are police buybacks considered?
Best I can figure it's not technically "selling" because the money is a reward given to you for the surrendering of a firearm.
Logically I want to say no, but we all know that logic and legal are as different as words can be.
>>28324285
The worst they can do is say they will not pay you for it and make a big fuss about keeping the guns.
>>28324285
It's actually not illegal to sell a firearm you've made. It's just illegal to make firearms specifically to sell. Unless you're a manufacturer.
>>28324243
No. The first trigger catches the bolt unless held down.
>>28323932
>simple selector lever that disengages the disconnecter.
That's what the second trigger *is*. You pull both at once for full auto, and only pull the first one for single shots.
>>28324428
>>28324436
So you are suggesting some ridiculous trigger mechanism where you pull both triggers to fire full auto but to fire semi auto you pull one trigger then the other, then repeat to fire subsequent shots? That's retarded and there's no way that someone wouldn't mess up shooting that gun when under stress.
>>28315323
>Luke Valentine
>>28324333
>It's actually not illegal to sell a firearm you've made
100% wrong
>>28324470
I think you're misunderstanding the difference between trigger group and trigger.
There is one regular trigger group, and the second trigger behind the first one is just a simple lever that holds the disconnecter down when it is depressed.
When it is not depressed the trigger in front of it operates normally.
>>28321912
sauce gif
>>28324593
Oh, that's what you're talking about. I thought you were talking about copying some of the older designs that had separate semi and full auto trigger groups that were independently usable without a fire selector rather than having a second trigger serve as the fire selector. In that case whatever floats your boat.
>>28315095
>Police buybacks
Holy shit, never though of that. You could make a living out of it.
>>28324561
No. Your mistaken.
>>28324593
Easier than that. No disconector. Two simple full auto triggers. When the first one is left up it catches the bolt just like cocking the gun the first time.
Its all theory anyway considering open bolt is always a no no.

>>28324965
That creates a difficult situation. If they tell you to fuck off with your guns they've left illegal guns on the street. If they confiscate them without reward it erodes the legitimacy of the buy back. The best course of action would be to grin and pay you for your 27 hello kitty slam bangs and 12 coffee percolator tube zip guns with mlp decals.

if you were not aware of that, I apologize for being rude. THat said, tapping a barrel and then getting the whole thing airtight ist rather complicated. DI even more so.
the easiest way to go is direct blowback and making the chamber a tad too long so your round exits the barrel before your case is out of battery. i believe that this was done on the MG42 as well...

Define gunsmithing. In terms of knowledge and community it is unprecedented but that's for most skills. Material quality is consistent and high quality, if you know where to buy but it is at a premium and modern ammunition is pretty high pressure compared to the cartridges of old so it is not recommended to go forth without prior knowledge.

if you build it on a virgin receiver it's a pistol.
>>28341576
only if it violates the nfa.
>>28341686
sounds neat, hear about the specter here?
>>28341857
Yup I pre ordered already

Do you use 80% and do you have access to a mill? I haven't tried it yet and don't have a mill. How fucked am I?
>>28341979
My brother just went to harbor freight, got an end mill and returned it after saying it sucked and got a refund.
>>28342012
Brilliant
>>28341979
I don't have access to a mill

If your a poor fag you have to know how to use the tools you have to complete the job

Is your brother a nigger?

Probably was bitten by a welfare spider at one point. Though he was able to make a decent AR for about $450 after all was said and done so take that what you will.
Distribute ALL weapon designs as widely as possible. Pic related has the cad files embedded in it.
Any guides on making a .22 zip gun that looks innocuous?
>>28342183
>>28322502
How do we make archives like this?
>>28322502
yeah how was this compressed so incredibly well?
>>28342188
I guess making a zipgun that looks like an umbrella. If you live in a dry place then maybe a cane gun.
>>28342217
>>28342248
I found this after some research. Can anyone here explain how to actually do it? I have some files I would like to distribute with it.
>>28342613
The instructions are right there. The commands are for linux. I assume you're using windows so I guess you could try and use Cygwin, run linux in a virtual machine, or try and find equivalent commands/applications for windows.
>>28342613
>Can anyone here explain how to actually do it?
Start with a 24-bit BMP file that's large enough to hold the archive. The image must be at least 54 bytes longer than the archive. It's also important that the image width is a multiple of 4.
You trackin' so far?
>>28342717
>>28342683
No shit I read them, but I couldnt get it to work manually. Anyways I found a userscript to do it. Anyone mind testing pic related?
>>28342808
Shit, try this one instead.
>>28321858
I think it's getting late, because I've been laughing hysterically at this for three straight minutes

...it works... why exactly do you have detailed plans for the sidewinder missile?
>>28331110
Ahh so the magic number is 49
>>28342900
Hi, ATF!
>>28342900
because you never know when you might want to look at the specs on the sidewinder to prove someone wrong on an argument on foxtrot alpha?
>>28333080
TOP FUCKING KEK HAHAHAHA
>>28342476
What about one like these?
Here guys I made this for you.
>>28342248
It's actually just 7-zip ultra compression.
>>28346430
Nice. I'm the guy who made >>28322502 ,I used pic related with Python script.

How To Make A Slingshot From Rope: http://youtu.be/X80M4aL1A6o
Pretty tough looking.
With a jigsaw and some plywood one could make all sorts of shapes with a heatgun and rope. Bet a person could even wrap tinfoil around a magazine casting a perfect well. Just sayin 3d printers are overrated working with thermal plastics may be underrated.

needs a ball detent system on the frame/cylinder
back when colt still owned the only patent for a pawl/rachet system for cocking a revolver and was super anal about enforcing it, a lot of small batch fly by night companies made manually operated revolvers.

Looks like the racing jack raises and lowers the angle. The hammer and paint roller fire it. One shot bullet cannon?

Its not purlely sand casted, a mix of plaster and sand (50-50) was poured over the 3d part and then burned out after the investment hardend. This creates a rigid one use mold that works as good as green sand, and can handle more complicates objects like recivers.

neat. never realized it
>>28315323
I want one in .223 or .44
>>28350701
Why bother with that chicken shit method when you could simply use 100% lost wax plaster? There are voids that could have been avoided if you did so.
>>28352357
nigga i drew that and made the infograph

How long until complete deregulation and the country with the strongest history of domestic civilian firearms development, production, and ownership can again lead the world?
If FDR hadn't fucked everything up, we would have plasma rifles by now.
tl;dr unrestricted american civilians buy more guns and are better at driving small arms development than all the world's militaries combined.
>>28356989
I don't like FDR but the free market isn't a magic physic breaking mechanism.
>>28357075
>I don't like FDR but the free market isn't a magic physic breaking mechanism.
The plasma rifle was meant more as a joke, but firearms would be way more varied and interesting by now for two reasons:
Untold amounts of money have been wasted due to social security.
(the money can't be invested and greatly depreciates due to 35+ years of inflation. Not to mention the impact this had on disproportionately aged populations)
Almost 100 years of domestic/civilian recreational firearms development has been wasted.
Without FDR fucking everything up, people would spend less on retirement over their lifetime, leaving them more money. And quite a few people over the past century would have spent a few thousand hours aimed at recreational small arms development.
>>28357225
There is pretty much no mechanism that wouldn't have been discarded as either inadequate or over complicated. Just look at Forgotten Weapons, there was an explosion of novel ideas when cartridges and smokeless powders were invented but they all died out like they should have and no private or governmental organization could really have done anything about it.
Firearms are a mature technology and unless an advancement in telescoping or caseless occurs, which has not occurred yet despite interest ad funding being widely present. Anything else would be fiddling around with ergonomics and getting slightly better performance from bullets and propellents.

Did this one last fall. Shot it in the kitchen to show my wife, into a putty backstop, and she was surprised how quiet it was with Remington Subs.

I know he still browses /k/ sometimes. Perhaps he got drunk and threw on his trip. More likely someone posing.
