What machine guns in the US? As tightly controlled as they are here, it’s VERY unlikely that American machine guns are being exported to Australia. Gee whiz.... is it possible that gun grabbers are conflating terms again?AndyC wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 10:27 pmhttps://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-o ... 8e5686e4b7Melbourne mechanic Paul Munro jailed for importing machine guns into Australia

Re: Machineguns in Australia
I once purchased a book off of Amazon on how to manufacture a 9mm SMG in your home. It is totally workable. The only thing lacking is rifling in the barrel, so accuracy/range would be limited. But it would be plenty accurate enough to clear a house with it, or something like that. If I can buy it, so can Australians...so none of this is surprising. It’s a lot harder to suppress knowledge than firearms (pun intended).
NOTE: I have no intention of ever building such a device. I just wanted to see if it was true or not that it could be done by a person of average intelligence without access to a machine shop. The answer: totally true.

Re: Machineguns in Australia
This is just one reason why gov'ts try to suppress information on the internet. If Hillary had been elected, we might have been looking at ATF registration of 3D printers and CNC machines.AndyC wrote:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/ ... chine-gunsA highly sophisticated weapons production facility using 3D printers and computers to make machine guns has been uncovered in a series of raids across the Gold Coast.
Police say they found four homemade automatic submachine guns, silencers, ammunition, a replica handgun, a .45 calibre pistol and equipment used to make weapons at two Nerang businesses, as well as a pill press. The equipment used to make the weapons included computers, a 3D printer, drill presses and other gun parts and is believed to be the most sophisticated of its kind found in Queensland.
“The weapons seized are yet to be tested, however, weapons of this type have the capacity to fire hundreds of rounds of ammunition a minute,” Det Supt Jon Wacker said. “In the wrong hands they present as a significant threat to the public.”
