I may be wrong here, but don't 3d printed guns still need a metal firing assembly to work? Would that be enough to detect?

- Sanddancer 13y agoThe Liberator derringer[1] which caused such a fuss a few months ago only needed a nail, which wouldn't be detected under most circumstances. I imagine that using an epoxy pin would probably be suitable given the gun's other single-fire characteristics. [1] It's single shot, uses a low-powered cartridge, and is a bitch to reload; calling it a handgun is an extreme stretch.
- frezik 13y agoThey put in a metal firing pin because 100% plastic guns are illegal in the US. It was technically capable of being completely plastic. But like the other poster said, it's a one-shot pistol with a weak cartridge. It's a long way from a practical firearm that will survive more than 10 shots.
