My favorite take is a loaded plastic gun with metal bullets will evade metal detectors.

And metal barrels. And metal slides. And metal springs.

The number of people I've explained how simple, cheap, and easy it is to download plans for a sten gun and then make one from shit at home depot is huge.

Are those rifled? Is the rifling step technically harder than doing the rest of the barrel?
-
Rifling is a process. It's harder to do, it would also be utterly worthless on a 3d printed barrel
-
Right but no one is 3D printing a barrel
-
I still got my answer :) I expected that rifling would be harder, metalwork skills-wise. 3d printing the non-gastight furniture bits at home adds an on-demand aspect to this that we should keep in mind. I asked because I have zero first hand experience, but am an avid reader ;)

I mean, we already had that with 80% lowers to begin with

I just see custom firearms of all sorts as opportunities to get myself shredded by plastic and metal shrapnel as the gun I inexpertly machined or assembled explodes in my hand.

Yup. They also already sell a custom C&C machine with the software preloaded to mill out a 100% lower out of aluminum bar stock. Untraceable guns have already existed for years.
