    The bulk of the new commercial silencers are now 3D printed. It let's them do some really cool things with the internal geometries. Probably impossible to clean, but they are going for max quite with low back pressure.

    As for printing one at home in plastic, you would probably have a small boom in front of your face, due to the internal pressures.

    Yeah the newer DEAD AIR Lazarus and Mojave 9 all 3D printed, but I am assuming the 3D printer + the material DEAD AIR is having them made by is professional grade and designed to do it.

    Guess I am not up on the current home 3D printer market, makes me wonder what KINDA of material he used and why it DIDNT blow up in his face on the first shot.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    Might be why it jammed.

    Some of the carbon reinforced filaments (i.e PETG) may be able to make something that works for a couple of rounds.

    Heat would be the worst enemy very quickly.
