FGC-9 MkII
The FGC-9 MkII ("F*** Gun Control 9mm") is an open-source, semi-automatic 9mm firearm designed to be built using a combination of 3D-printed parts and commonly available hardware components. This firearm was developed with the intention of creating a fully functional, self-manufacturable firearm that does not require regulated firearm parts or traditional manufacturing methods, making it accessible even in regions with strict gun control laws. The FGC-9 MkII is a second iteration of the original FGC-9, with design improvements that make it more reliable, easier to build, and capable of better performance.
- 3D-Printed Parts: The FGC-9 MkII utilizes a significant number of 3D-printed components, with many structural parts made from commonly available 3D-printing filaments like PLA or ABS. This allows the firearm to be manufactured with a standard 3D printer, reducing costs and limiting reliance on specialised equipment.
- Standard 9mm Ammunition: The firearm is chambered in 9mm, a widely used ammunition type, which makes it effective in various settings while also accessible and cost-effective.
- Non-Regulated Parts: The firearm uses hardware and components that are readily available in most hardware stores, including metal tubing for the barrel, springs, and screws. Its build deliberately avoids parts typically regulated by firearm laws, such as factory-made barrels or receivers.
- Design for Accessibility: The FGC-9 MkII was designed to be relatively easy to assemble, requiring basic tools and minimal expertise. Online guides and resources provide detailed assembly instructions, making the FGC-9 MkII one of the most accessible DIY firearm designs in circulation.
