‘Downloadable Gun’ Clears a Legal Obstacle, and Activists Are Alarmed

I'm not sure if the entire gun can be made out of plastic without making the gun near useless or explode in your hands as you shoot it.

Usually these 'homemade' guns buy a lot of professionally made gun parts such as the rifle barrel and just make their own lower receiver, which isn't exposed to the explosive high pressure part of a gun.

DemoRanch, Taofledermaus or iv8888 fired shotgun shells bare, ICRW. They’re the lowest chamber-pressure lethal (22LR and .25 are difficult but not impossible to make lethal) rounds.

Was the shot made of plastic too?
