https://archive.ph/XJSrVA man was referred to Prosecution yesterday for violating Japan's Firearms Control Act, for 3D printing a gun that was allegedly used in a suicide last year. Police seized his printer and design data for gun parts.

I may have missed some cases, but to my knowledge this is the second major bust for firearms printing since Yoshitomo Imura's case years ago.

Makes me wonder how many secret JP gunbros there are secretly printing off hardware nationwide.

@JapanAnon Speaking of printing guns, now that it's possible to 3D print your own, and there's no artificial "law" that prohibits 3D printers (yet), you can now bypass gun artifical "laws" by printing your own guns and bullets, and as long as you keep it for only in case shit hits the fan, there's nobody who can tell you you can't do that.

@ryo I wasn't aware printed bullets was an option. Still need gunpowder and a primer, though.

@JapanAnon From what I understood, you can make plastic bullets, and then heat a metal coating over it.Not sure if anything other than gun and bullets is required in order to shoot though.

@ryo If we're assuming standard cased ammo, you'd need gunpowder in the jacket and a primer for the firing pin to ignite it.Theoretically you can make your own gunpowder, but it's difficult and potentially dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Primers, though... I don't know, but I get the impression that still requires industrial production.

@JapanAnon Considering that guns were made before industrialization, I think we're fine.If we can't make gunpowder, then I guess smashing a Li-ion battery and throwing it somewhere is a good alternative to a hand granade.Technically, everyone is carrying around a bomb in the form of a smartphone.

@ryo Overvolt the battery and breach the cell, and you could do some damage, certainly.

@ryo @JapanAnon That is not a bomb or granade. It's just a fast burning vial. There is no shock wave, for example.

@nk @ryo Might work as an incendiary device, at least, if it's near flammable material. Or an exposed fuel source.

@ryo @JapanAnon Well they haven’t banned machine shops yet either. Also know that another avenue is purchasing antique firearms.

@wrongthink @JapanAnon Good luck finding any here in Japan though.Another alternative I see to firearms are swords, these can be bought here pretty easily, though it's pricy.

@PhenomX6 @JapanAnon Would be fun if bullets like these would be possible in real life.

@PhenomX6 @ryo I actually looked, and there are some printer models for percussion cap holders, and even a cap making set. A little old-school, but theoretically doable

@JapanAnon@ryoYup. The reason I mentioned it is while the regulations are iffy worldwide, they're one of the few categories that gets overlooked. In the UK while they've taken their guns away (because the UK is the ideal police state as approved by the WEF), you can still get a loisence for a cap and ball revolver and similar. Meanwhile in the USA they're the only guns you can buy without a background check or have mailed to your door. In fact they're not even considered firearms.The only reason nobody does this is your average gangbanger would rather steal a Glock or buy one from a homie off the street. Only "law abiding" felons who don't want a felony firearm charge (which every SoundCloud rapper has) buy them, and it depends on the state/area.Of course they deliberately leave these unbanned because of the idea that fudds won't complain and the second someone does a mass shooting with one they'll be trying to regulate those or repeal the second (if they've gone full Europoor on gun laws).

@strangenpc @PhenomX6 @ryo >It uses a printed cartridge, with a 9mm case holding powder in one end and a .50cal (350gr) bullet pushed down on top of the caseWell damn
