Deterrence Dispensed on TKB live

BUT anyone in the US can send you those parts all day long hidden in DVD players etc.

It lowers the bar quite a bit.

Not my intention to piss on anyone's parade but if you're gonna send barrels and slides hidden in electronics you could also send the frame duct-taped to the inside of a computer case or something.

>attempt to send shit to someone
>get caught
>both of you wind up in a Yurostani court for weapons smuggling
No thanks. You'd have to be an idiot to take that risk.

This. The whole "hurr durr we'll just print the lowers" thing is moronic and lazy. It's just going to encourage American gungrabbers to copy European legislation.
That being said, a pistol barrel really shouldn't be THAT hard to make with a drill press, and some made to order pipes can function as barrels for shotguns and the like.

Have they raped people's ears with slapping mags into stuff?

Slides and barrels are only as regulated as scrap metal in the US, so only the buyer in the receiving country takes the risk. Purely theoretical here, and I'm war-gaming how gun runners may adapt in future.

I agree though, it's only a jump phase of this tech. The ultimate aim will be slides and barrels made at home.

It's just as easy to machine a glock slide and barrel, and self fabricate the other bits, as it is to 3d print a lower. Probably easier if you know literally anyone with metal fabrication tools.

>Slides and barrels are only as regulated as scrap metal in the US, so only the buyer in the receiving country takes the risk
Not true. If the buyer was caught the police probably wouldn't have much difficulty finding who they purchased it from, and that person would be charged in a Euro court. The US would have no reason to refuse to extradite that person.

Yeah, doesn't shipping firearm parts out of the US still run into ITAR?

It's nerf or nothing

It sure does. You may be able to buy these parts as easily as scrap metal, but they still count as arms in an international scope.

Are the 3D printed Glocks considered 80% since you have to rip out the supports and shite?

looks like it would be a great sidearm in a cyberpunk super apartment

You would have to send a letter documenting your design to the ATF and have them declare it not a firearm

also imagine that with 3d printed mags, simple homemade suppressor loaded with pic related

Depends, how much did you print? Did you print more or less than 80%? Then it's not an 80%, it's a whatever% that was 3D printed.
80s are called so, because its 80% of the receiver. It's considered an unfinished firearm, meaning if you finish it you dont have to serialize it. 3D printing is no different - you're just doing it all from the ground up instead of having a legit manufacturer do the legwork for you.
3D printing a gun is legally no different than running to home depot and making your own. And that's why liberals were freaking out - it put into perspective just how easy it is to get around gun control.

Barrels are considered the gun in europe

ITAR regulates this as you cannot send parts like the barrel to a country where it is not allowed
