The firstever shooting competition exclusively for homeassembled firearms—or socalled “ghost guns”—was held in late June at a Florida gun range. These are guns with no serial numbers and thus no easy way for authorities to track down the owner or manufacturer.
The shooting contest was organized by a digital gun building collective called Are We Cool Yet? or AWCY, a group that has been pushing the envelope of what’s possible with 3Dprinted arms, including a fullauto submachine gun, a “battle rifle,” and some designs that are totally unique.
Today's 3Dprinted "ghost guns" can look, feel, and shoot like factorymade weapons.
To meet these gunmakers and get a true sense of what 3Dprinted guns are capable of these days, VICE News correspondent Keegan Hamilton decided to enter the shooting contest in Florida—and build his own ghost gun, a 9mm Glock 19 pistol.
