Print and shoot: how 3D-printed guns are spreading online
3D-printed guns are emerging as potential “weapons of choice” for criminals and extremists, as highlighted in a recent BBC Trending investigation. These untraceable firearms can be created using downloadable blueprints and basic materials, designed to evade gun control laws. Despite Meta’s policies against firearm ads, instances of 3D-printed gun promotions were found on platforms like Instagram and Telegram. The investigation exposed a seller on Telegram who offered to ship 3D-printed guns illegally to the UK. Users can also create their own weapons with models such as the FGC-9, which require no commercially available gun parts. While there have been calls for laws to criminalize blueprints and restrict 3D printers from producing gun parts, the effectiveness of such measures remains uncertain.
