Cartridges for 3D pistol

On the Internet you can find several models of 3D-pistols, which are designed for conventional cartridges. But to use this option is not recommended: the gun can just explode in your hand. Still, metal cartridges are not designed for a plastic case, and the shot is the detonation (explosion) of the cartridge right in the barrel. Plastic corny does not stand.

25-year-old shooter from Pennsylvania Michael Crumling (Michael Crumling) believes that for a 3D pistol you need to make special cartridges.

“I noticed that many 3D guns are unsafe to handle, to say the least,” Michael said in an interview with Mashable. “Their main drawback is that they are trying to use standard ammunition.”

Usually printed on a 3D printer pistols and guns withstand just one or a few shots, after which the barrel breaks. The record seems to belong to Canadian developer Matthew (last name unknown), who shot a 3D rifle 14 times before it went down.

Crumling has developed a new design for ammunition for plastic weapons. He is depicted in the screenshot.



In this design, an elongated sleeve is used, which diverts the blast energy from the barrel. The ball-shaped bullet is made from lead.



Michael Crumling calls the .314 Atlas cartridges he developed. He has already made 19 shots from a plastic 3D pistol, and the design has withstood such a number of detonations.

By law, the author does not have the right to sell manufactured cartridges, but is free to distribute files. Each person who has a suitable 3D printer can print them. In America, there is a law that a person has the right to independently manufacture weapons for self-defense without obtaining any permits and licenses.
