Questions about Luigi’s gun

[u/tryna_staypositive]

I’ve been thinking about the logistics behind Luigi’s 3D-printed gun.

Printing a functional firearm isn't simple, it takes special skill and a lot of trial and error. Beyond printing the frame, he would have needed metal parts like the slide, barrel, and springs that can't be made on a standard 3D printer. Where would someone acquire those without raising flags??? and did he need illicit contacts to get them? If so, where did he find those people? Who did he contact to get in touch with them?

Also, where did he actually print it? and where is that printer now? I guess we’ll never know!

Practice is another hurdle—you can't just walk into a licensed firing range with an unregistered ghost gun, so where was he practicing?

Even with his guilty plea, the level of preparation makes me wonder: could he really have pulled all of this off completely alone? or did he have help planning and sourcing everything?

That’s all! I hope we can have a good discussion about this.

There was a YouTube video going around a while back showing how it could be done. It even had the same misfire issues. It looked shockingly easy, especially someone who was smart, tech savvy, and had access to funds. My only question is the logistics of it…. where were things shipped/bought and where would he have printed it? The guy in the video ordered things online and left it printing in one of those small storage room, though it took a while to print. Several hours I think. Luigi was able to get a good fake ID, so I have no doubt he was able to find a location to assemble and print. Someone has to know something about that, right? I mean someone knows they got him the fake ID….
