Keep watching to the 2nd mag, trust me.
Electrically ignited .50cal, fragmenting case printed ammo and electrically locked. Most 3DP guns do not do this

No editing, just a guy in the desert shooting a mag full of 3D printed ammo, out of a 3D printed barrel using electric ignition and an electro-magnetically locked bolt. Everything is DIY, no regulated parts, and materials cost less than $100

6 shots in 9 seconds out of a 3D printed barrel! Added to that, it's the first elecro-magnetically locked, arc ignited gun, and uses 3D printed fragmenting case ammo I designed. Material cost is around $120 dollars, but everything is still DIY

V2 of the Plasma Pump is assembled! For anyone new this is an electrically ignited (no primers!) and solenoid locked rifle designed to shoot my DIY 3D printed ammo.
-$80 in materials
-Shoots a 220gr .50cal bullet at 900fps
-3D printed barrel (~75 shot life)
- 7 cents/round

Functions test of the Plasma Pump went great, the future is coming!
About the gun:
- Shoots DIY electrically ignited caseless .50cal ammo
-Holds 12rds in the mag
-Almost completely 3D printed
-Should hit ~900fps w/ 220gr bullet

Almost done assembling V3. For anyone new, it's an electrically ignited, 3D printed, .50 cal rifle that uses 3D printed disintigrating cases and black powder. The cost of materials on this version is about $90. Meant to be a fun project for when ammo is hard/expensive to find

Caseless electronicly ignited ammo is stabilizing and hitting >900fps through the printed barrel. After 120+ rounds I think it's time to start beta testing

This finally has everything I want in a gun. Electro-magnetically locked, plasma ignited, caseless .50cal rifle. Being 3D printed isn't even the cool part anymore.
Time to find funding to turn it semi-auto, refine, and manufacture metal parts to make it better than an AR

Holy shit my 3D printed ammo managed twice the permanent wound cavity vs. 9mm FMJ (blue lines). The entrance wound is insane from the printed jacket mushrooming out. It captured the bullet spin which means the rifling is working great, and this was only 23gr of black powder

The new steel wool+capacitor priming system has enough power to propel a 3D printed bullet at paintball speeds on its own. I've been shooting shit all day, its a lot like a muzzle loaded parlor pistol

Just pooping out some prior art to keep people from patenting shit. This is an energy harvesting system for an AR-15, should be able to regen over 400 Joules per shot and is intended to power an active barrel cooling system which i'm hoping could reduce weight for future MGs

Got the solenoids mounted to turn this semi-auto. Just need to mess with the portable power supply a bit and it should be ready to test. As far as I know if this works it will be the first electrically actuated semi-auto pistol.

This is shaping up to be pretty amazing if everything works.
~6lbs
18 rounds of .50cal in the mag
26.25" OAL
16.25" barrel
~$40 in material to build, and $0.08/round to shoot.
No regulated parts
And of course, it's an electronic caseless rifle

Versions 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 of the Plasma pump. All used the same electric ignition and 3D printed cases. Really not many big changes, just small things that have a big impact

Accuracy test of the BA-50, 1 magazine (7 rounds). Turned out way better than I expected.
7/7 rounds fired and 7/7 bullets left the barrel.
Accurate enough to hit an apple at ~20 feet reliably.
Some cycling issues that should be fixed with cleaning and lube

I'll be hitting 100+ rounds through this barrel today. Luckily I can recover bullets if I shoot sandbags. W/o bullets it costs me ~10¢ a round. 5¢ in powder, 5¢ in filament for the jacket

Got it mostly put together. Not too practical but i'm wiring LEDs under the barrel and in the grip to glow green when switched to safe, and red when ready to fire

Testing smokeless powder today. Reduces the size a ton which should help with stability. I'm also curious how spark ignition compares to an explosive primer

Spooky Halloween, 16 rounds through a 3D printed barrel in one sitting and it didn't blow up
Some issues with feeding, but not bad for a 99% 3D printed .50cal using printed fragmenting cases, ignited with plasma, and made by a guy named Suckboy Tony

I'm finishing up the design for a double barrel, electric ignited .50cal pistol. I will be releasing in a few weeks after testing.
If you want to donate, it will go to testing cheaper electronics on the semi-auto and testing different powder/bullet loads

Big primer and big brass dont want you to know you can print your own ammo at home. I now have hundreds of rounds

Got my hands on a Vec-91, an electrically ignited, caseless hunting rifle from the 90's. The battery was advertised to last 5,000 rounds. Shoots a 55gr bullet at 3300fps, and has an adjustable trigger. Can't wait to get up in them guts and see how the electronics work

@IsValmont
It's Schrödinger's gun, both so fast and powerful that i've gotten 20+ comments saying I should be in jail and that i'm actively killing kids, and so slow that it is ineffective. You're closer to being right than them at least lol

All of the caseless ammo fired and seem to stabilize within the 10' to the target. Now that it's reliable I can design the full gun around this barrel

Got a sacrificial gun printed to increase the powder charge with. Only ~.5kg of filament, $20 of materials, and assembled in one evening. Reaching true liberator territory

Some recent testing of the BA-50. The only problem was the top empty cartridge popping out from the recoil since I did a lot to reduce friction for the solenoid testing. I think I can fix that by shooting with a non-crippled arm or roughing up the top lip with sandpaper

@Brown70William
Just replacing background checks with intelligence checks, probably way more effective tbh. The way I see it, we want to keep guns away from idiots, and idiots can't build guns so this is the best gun control

lol. It'll go through a ballistics gel block and leave a permanent wound cavity larger than a 9mm (blue line). Not sure past that, but once I saw it was more damaging than a 9mm I kinda stopped upping the charge weight

Just a reminder that the only authorized filament for the plasma pump is
@Polymaker_3D
Black, Purple, or 3DPG FDE. Go buy polymaker filament. It's legitimately the only filament brand I use and they support our community
I am BEYOND PROUD to announce that
@Polymaker_3D
is now the official channel sponsor of The 3D Print General!
When they found out YouTube demonetized my channel, they instantly reached out.

Finally got the springs adjusted enough for it to cycle a bit. I need to reduce the spring rate in the mag to get the 6 shots loaded tho. This might be shit compared to a glock but at least it doesn't need primers or cases so it's 2020 proof

Here's some suppressor designs I tried. Being steady state (constant flow) this sim is really more of a muffler design than suppressor but still gives good pressure drop data. I might hold a competition to see who can design the best suppressor geometry, using the sim to score it

Got two 8 round mags loaded, gonna try getting a mag swap on camera. I feel like 16 rapid fire shots through a 3D printed barrel is a good next goal. Once I hit that i'll focus on lighters and Merch to re-coup some money

Sucessful day shooting, got around 20 rounds through and I think I solved the velocity issues. Now just need to optimize the probes and increase rifling rate to get better stabalization. Anyone have some maths on rifling rate vs. weight/length?
23

215
This is the fastest i've ever shot, and I think that is what caused the misfire on the last round. 7 Shots in 8 seconds seems to be the limit with a 3D printed barrel and bolt. At least the electric ignition is working. I'm still trying to nail down what happened on the last shot
7
21
252
I've been doing a bunch of testing on the ammo and I think I have a reliable design now. Most of the testing involved ram-roding the barrel between each shot to see if any case fragments were left in the barrel, so no good video. Should get that next test

Myranmar has a legitiment need for DIY guns and ammo right now. As much as I love all these frames and parts kits for people in the U.S, it doesn't help those fighting tyranny across the world. If you have the ability, please focus on DIY builds and ammo so we can help these guys

Almost done with V3 assembly. Switching to linear rods and bearing to get a smoother action now. Also, it turns out the cheaper shaft collars with lube work just as well as expensive linear bearings, and should hold up longer.

It's getting annoying spending all my time/money for weeks just to have it blow up. The test receiver for this design survived 25gr loads, I was using 16gr loads + extra reinforcement on this because I wanted to make sure it survived to display on my wall

I'll be starting a beta soon if it survives

V3 testing from a few weeks ago. Some easy to fix cycling issues, I believe it's because I removed a chamfer behind the cartridge that helps lift it out. Should be easy to fix with a file or dremel, it's getting better at least!

V2 of the Plasma Pump is in beta testing through my Utreon page. The table of contents makes it seem long, but check out how much is actually on each page. Fair warning it's only about 90% reliable with the cases shattering, i'm still trying to test different geometry

Great design Kalashnikov, a 5ton press doesnt even work. Everyone says "oh just hammer it but be careful of the finish". Fuck the finish, I just want a god damn AK I don't care if it's completely fucked. This is a stupid fucking design and press fit pins can get fucked.

All 4 rounds from this magazine fired and cycled. The first cartridge blew up in the chamber but still sent the bullet downrange and cycled out successfully.
Sorry Eugene Stoner, but some jams can be fixed by hammer fisting the shit out of critical components
