YOU CAN NOW 3D PRINT AN ENTIRE SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE AT HOME.<\/a><\/p>\n THE TOTAL COST \u2014 INCLUDING THE 3D PRINTER \u2014 IS ABOUT $350.<\/p>\n 3D-printed guns, or functional firearms that can be mostly or entirely manufactured at home with a 3D printer, are\u00a0getting more sophisticated<\/a>\u00a0and more dangerous.<\/p>\n For a long time, 3D-printed guns were still quite slapdash. Early homemade handguns\u00a0would break apart<\/a>\u00a0after firing once, and they served as more of a symbolic middle finger to government firearm regulation than a tangible threat. But they\u2019re getting steadily more advanced,\u00a0Slate\u00a0<\/a><\/em>reports<\/a>. Now, a prominent 3D-printed gun community plans to unveil the designs for a\u00a0functional, upgraded assault rifle early this year.<\/p>\n The group, Deterrence Dispensed, has an online community of thousands to which it shares gun blueprints and step-by-step instructions on how to build them, alongside lists of recommended printers and parts. Aside from those flimsy handguns, the group also designed a functional assault rifle called the FGC-9 \u2014 that\u2019s an acronym for the crude moniker \u201cfuck gun control 9 mm\u201d \u2014 which only costs about $100 to make with the recommended $250 printer, for a total cost starting around $350.<\/p>\n Most chilling? The gun is totally legal. Its barrel is made of metal, meaning it can be spotted by metal detectors, which is the one technicality that prevents the technology from being banned outright, according to\u00a0Slate<\/em>. But aside from that, these weapons are untraceable and allow people to circumvent other regulations like background checks \u2014 especially in countries with tighter gun control than the United States.<\/p>\n With the upgraded FGC-9 expected within the next few months, it stands to reason that these homemade guns \u2014 which\u00a0Slate\u00a0<\/em>reports are favored by neo-Nazis and other extremist groups \u2014 will only become more prevalent and more dangerous.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is no sign of things stopping,\u201d pseudonymous FGC-9 designer \u201cIvan\u201d told\u00a0Slate<\/em>. \u201cProjects are only getting more ambitious.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some Techgeeks develop a case of the vapors when they discover that the signal can’t be stopped.
