(Added guns to the subject line, this will just be where I post news that I see on Twitter.)

I haven't seen much discussion of the ammo experimentation people have been doing, so I will post some reports here as I see them.


This guy is claiming 180gr at 1200fps out of these caseless, electrically ignited sabot / preloaded cylinder things.

Is that ammonium perchlorate in those things?  Looks like small rocket propellant charges used to send the bullet down a barrel.  Interesting

Any vids?

I don't think I would have thought of that as a way to accomplish this but that's certainly different.

I thought he was using standard black powder. I could be wrong

Very curious what he's using for the roller bearing surface there, or is it already attached to the trunnion?

I wonder if this would work with a broadhead instead? Like a flechette/rocket/projectile hybrid. Might be easier to get better results.

That guy is an idiot, and a freshly graduated ME by now too... he should know better on some of the things he does. For examples check out his long exploit into the 50cal 3D printed gun, he's lucky it only blew up a little a few times.

I knew an engineering student on Weaponeer who tried to convert an SKS to gas delayed blowback using the original gas port location.

I actually was in the beta group for the AG. It uses the existing trunnion into a 3d printed barrel mount. Unfortunately my printer went down so I didn't have a chance to roll my own yet. But you do need like a 10T press per the instructions last I looked.

Cyacrine dissolves ABS. The part is monolithic. ABS with fiberglass reinforcement is the best material.

 The only printed bbls are for low pressure pistol rounds, maybe shotguns.  3-D plastic printing is for everything other than the pressure bearing components, particularly in rifles.

Not much detail here and I didn't look at their old posts, but I think this is trying to have printed cartridges in .450 Bushmaster, in a metal barrel.
Edit:  bolt action using printed upper and bolt carrier.  Not sure if bolt too.

Do eet.  Lots of folks would rather have a commercial bbl than a 3-D printed one.

I saw a 3d printed .22 blowback that used an AR barrel and cmmg rimfire conversion bolt carrier group for the action.

Lots of FMG-9 talk today (my printed FMG-9 thread was archived I guess) due to the B&T variant coming out that uses a Sig frame.  But I saw this today which probably is 3-d printed or at least otherwise craft built:
