The guy had a silencer, is that a normal thing for a regular guy in New York to have? That and how it was carried out does make me think that it could be someone who is already out of the law.
- spacecadet 2y agoLooked like a custom weapon to me, which would be a smart move to avoid being traced, also explains the jamming. Custom silencers can cause a semi-auto to jam if the tolerances are crap, but a completely custom, say 3D printed gun, might jam from any number of issues...
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoCools thanks for the answer. I’m getting downvoted for an honest question I guess.
- more_corn 2y agoIt’s not a 3D printed gun. That technology is barely capable of single shots and they look very distinctive.
- Martinussen 2y agoYou are severely underestimating 3D printed firearms, unless you are saying it must be entirely, 100% 3D printed. PSR on YouTube is an interesting channel to skim through.
- spacecadet 2y agoSpeaking to someone with decades of 3DP experience and much longer with firearms... I do agree its unlikely, but seen a number of home made silencers cause jams just like I see in the video. He also marked the rounds, if he scored them, their weight is also off/likely also caused burs... many possible reasons why the gunman experienced jams...
- spacecadet 2y agoBreaking news, a so called suspect has been apprehend and a 3D printed gun was found. “He was in possession of a ghost gun that had the capability of firing a 9-mm round and a suppressor,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Monday press briefing, adding that the piece “may have been made on a 3-D printer.”
- Zigurd 2y agoVery VERY rare B&T Station VI similar to a WWII british spy gun. Complicated high maintenance two-stage suppressor. Like using a Bugatti to run him over.
- dole 2y agoI think someone speculated it was a Station Six because of the look of the gun and the newsmedia ran with it. The shooter is not twisting a pulling a welrod style action, they’re racking the slide every time because of the cartridges lack enough power to fully operate the gun’s action with the suppressor attached.
- spacecadet 2y agoThis. The profile is off as well.
- paxys 2y agoHe isn't from New York.
- SlightlyLeftPad 2y agoI assume you know who it is then? I was under the impression that the authorities have no idea still.
- more_corn 2y agoAuthorities know that the killer arrived in New York ten days beforehand, they know he left on a greyhound bus bound for Atlanta. They don’t know his identity or current location.
