The 26-minute video is an interview by Jake Hanrahan of the Popular Front, and a demonstration of the FGC-9. The video is on the way to becoming one of his more popular productions. As of November 23, 2020, it had over 70,000 views, basically on the first day.
The video starts with commentators obsessing over “ghost guns” in the United States. This may be clever editing to keep Youtube censors off the track. The concern over untraceable guns in the United States is ludicrous. There are hundreds of millions of untraceable guns in the United States already.
The premise of the video is an interview with JStark1809, the primary designer of the 3D printed FGC-9 semi-automatic 9mm pistol/carbine.
The interview was conducted at some point in Europe: JStark1809 agreed to an interview with Jake Hanrana of Popular Front. From Popular Front:
Popular Front is conflict journalism done differently. We report on the parts of war big media rarely acknowledges, and talk to people they'll never find. We don't have corporate bugmen trying to dictate what we do either. This is all independent, funded by members through subscriptions and sponsorship.
Popular Front is detailed, niche, and for everyone. You don't need a PhD or an invite to a journo dinner party to be in on this. We do serious work, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We want no frills, and no elitism.
The video shows a workshop which may be in an apartment, but could be in nearly any occupied space. Reloading equipment is shown set up on a work table. Perhaps it was set up specifically for the interview. For security purposes, that would be prudent.
Much of the interview is explaining how JStark1809 worked to create a self-sustaining, distributed network to create and distribute information on how

Handgun ammunition in Europe is as highly regulated, if not more so, than firearms.
A 3D printed firearm is useless without ammunition.
See what happeneds when they take your guns
You do excellent work, Dean.
Thanks.

I read those books ~45 years ago.

During the Klintoon administration, there was a proposal to make all ammunition out of bismuth. No big deal until you realize that the majority of its mined in China.
If that had happened, you could shoot someone and say. “It’s nothing personal — it’s just bismuth.”
LOL
The video said he printed his own ammo and showed his reloading equipment. I don’t know where he gets the powder. When growing up, my brother and I made black powder from the recipe in the Encyclopædia Britannica (Ed. 11) and shot a pepper-box we found in the attic. We made our percussion caps from tips of strike-anywhere matches and tinfoil.
I might add that if these people use the internet to communicate, then their government knows who and where they are, and could pick them up with little fuss any time. Time to get out of Europe; it’s a lost cause.
Very resourceful! I learned how to make black powder from a Star Trek Episode.
