There are numerous reports of illegal submachine guns being made in Australia. Submachine guns are one of the easiest repeaters to make in small shops or a home workshop.

I admit I don’t follow this stuff very closely, but a number of years ago, this seemed like a hot topic — 3D printers were getting better, people were managing to make some (primitive) guns, and it seemed like gun laws were going to be superseded by the ability to “print” a gun whenever and wherever you wanted.

Then I stopped hearing about this topic. Maybe I just stopped paying attention. But it seems odd.

Outlaw weapon’s & people will create their own.

Damn good idea.

No submachine gun is illegal: they are simply undocumented firearms.
Aussie guns just need a piece of paper. All guns matter!

A M3A1 Grease gun could be easily turned out in any work shop. Probably the hardest part to manufacture would be a reliable magazine.

I do love my little 3d printer, but the strongest filament that I can print stuff with is made of nylon. So unless the submachine gun needs some good looking grips I don’t see a lot of fire arms related projects in its future.
