3D-printed guns look like children's toys. They're lethal and on the rise | 7.30
The lethal FGC-9 semi-automatic weapon can fire up to 30 rounds without needing to be reloaded and is the most popular 3D-printed gun in Australia, based on seizures in every state and territory over the past 12 months.
Police say the gun, branded under the name ''F*** Gun Control", is increasingly being found in the hands of organised crime groups, extremists and teenagers around the world.
These guns are deadly and far more advanced than the homemade wood and metal piece that was in 2022 used to kill former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe.
At the Australian Federal Police forensics headquarters in Canberra, the ballistics team manufactured their own FGC-9 to show 7.30 how advanced and dangerous 3D-printed guns had become.
