Deadly Homemade Gun: Who Needs a 3D printer?

“In this video I show a gun that I built out of simple parts bought from the hardware store, no background check required,” awesomeairguns.com writes underneath his latest bid for YouTube glory. “With all of the talk lately about 3D printed guns, I just thought I’d point out that it has been possible for a while to build a gun at home.” Only since the 10th century. And this isn’t exactly the most concealable of weapons. Still, point taken.

  3. The biggest issue I ran into on this stage was running out of ammunition. As I was starting my first shotgun reload, I realized that some of the rounds had fallen out of my shell holder.

    Equipment malfunction (issue with holders), user malfunction loading the holders, or… ?

    I’d like to know more about what went wrong here so I can think about how it applies to my own setup and practices.
