Why is 3D printing a ghost ghost that cannot be recognized easier than ever

If you print 3D a Glock -style gun frame, you can buy the rest of the parts of the Internet and collect it, and you have a ghost ghost gun. Anonymous, completely special weapon.

Zoë Schiffer: When we go back, we will get into the details of how Andy was already making and garnishing ghost rifle. But at the present time, we have to go to the break.

Welcome to Wadi Gharib. Well, Andy, I want to enter the process of collecting weapons. Talk to me about this point of printing, to seek parts, to actually assemble them.

Andy Greenberg: Printing is definitely the easiest part of 2025. You can really download these files, these CAD files for weapons tires from a group of different open web sites managed by opponents to control weapons. Then put it in some programs and click print, and after 13 hours, in this case I had two ideal frames in the Glock. It was striking how strong the 3D printer strength, cheap, was using it.

The assembly is much more difficult. This is difficult as it was always. It is like assembling a very small piece of IKEA furniture. There are a lot of small nails that beats in place, collecting the trigger mechanism, all of which should fit with this small cavity within the frame. It took me more than an hour to do, and I was ranging in this process by three -dimensional printed weapons enthusiasts. He calls himself print, shoots, repeat, which was really useful and patient. But I think it is for people who know what they are doing, it takes 15 or 20 minutes –

Zoë Schiffer: amazing.

Andy Greenberg: – For assembly, once you have some practice.

Zoë Schiffer: Well. Then she shot the gun. What happened? How did you feel at that moment in the scope of weapons?

Andy Greenberg: Well, before he shot it, there is this amazing moment when you build a pistol. It looks like an interesting process, a small technical process, such as making a model plane or something like this. Then suddenly, get this slide on the frame and then click in place. Then you see for the first time that you already have a gun in your hands, it’s a deadly weapon. The way you should treat a gun in your hands is different from a group of weapons parts. Suddenly, this deadly weapon, you have to be careful as it goes. It is a truly exciting moment. It was for me, however.

Zoë Schiffer: There was this last part of the association where it was placed on the silencer, like Luigi manganese on his weapon, right?

Andy Greenberg: right. Luigi Mangione, in his bag, claims that he had a printed three -dimensional silencer, which is a very new phenomenon, even in the three -dimensional weapons world. We also built it. We 3D print the sound silencer. This is actually a different part. It is a felony for me to print three -dimensional, and it is a silencer as it is known. We had an actually licensed weapon, the owner of the scope we were about to test this, which prompted the print in this case and helped build this sound. When it was claimed that Luigi Mangun did this, he would have penetrated the law. I was, if not because of getting a weapon at hand to help us.
