>it's most likely going to only work once or twice before it blows itself apar
LMAO see FGC-9.
>it won't be possible to rifle the barrel on a 3d printed gun in a way that will spin the projectile.
But it is possible to 3d print a mandrel for ECM machining, in a way that basically anyone can easily rifle for very low cost. See ECM machining guide as part of FGC-9 build. This sounds complicated but in practice very simple, print the part and attach a pipe along with pumped water/electricity and you get very nice accurate rifling tested to perform about as well as glock oem barrel.
>It would probably be better than a 3d printed one too.
Not typically at least using the most popular expedient arms manuals. The magazine and feeding typically performs much poorer than say modern 3d printed like FGC-9. Repeatable in-tolerance magazines/feeding have always been the weak point of most home machine shop made stuff and 3d printing has mostly solved that problem.
