This guide details the experimental testing of 3D printed ammunition in 9mm and .45 ACP calibers. It covers firearm selection, target preparation, and the process of evaluating accuracy, penetration, and potential lethality using various materials. The content highlights the experimental nature and limitations of this DIY ammunition, emphasizing its impracticality for self-defense due to low energy and poor performance beyond close range.
This video demonstrates an experiment involving a 3D printed bullet, comparing it to a live .45 ACP round. The host of 1st Shot Tactical, identified as a firearms enthusiast and influencer, humorously attempts to fire the 3D printed projectile from a Remington 1911 R1. The attempt results in a 'click' as expected, due to the absence of primer and powder, highlighting basic principles of ammunition function. A strong safety disclaimer is emphasized, advising against replicating the experiment.
