    Glad to see sanity about the luigi shooting, the people claiming the shooter was some kind of professional assassin certainly didn’t pay much attention to the video. Malfunction after malfunction, that setup had not been tested.

        Anybody who’s done some shooting with a .22lr semi-auto pistol would likely have that kind of muscle memory response to clear a jam. The point I’m making is a professional would not have used a gun that didn’t function properly. You’ve already got a can on it, go out in the woods and run a few mags through it to make sure it works.

          Don’t those 3d printed guns usually start malfunctioning as a result of moderate use, as in the process of testing then?

            Absolutely, any home made pistol would have some teething issues. I have an 80% “glock” that took a while to make reliable. I think I had to put about 800rds through it as well as replacing the extractor with an aftermarket machined one instead of the shitty imperfect OEM one and doing a little bit of polishing on the internal hardware before it could get through a whole magazine without a failure. I would have been dumb as a rock to carry that for protection before I had another 500-1000rds down the pipe without a single malfunction.
