So called ghost guns, as it is, can't have a good reputation, compared to traditional firearms; by their very nature they aren't reliable, as it is. It's a throwaway plastic thing that will break eventually. Nobody wants to go to war with that, nobody wants to end up with his pants down at worst moment
Traditional "ghost guns" are not 3d printed. They are nothing new. My grandfather made a .44 carbine in metal shop when he was a kid. It's not serialized. That's a "ghost gun."
80% lowers are another example of "ghost guns."
Yeah I was thinking about the new plastic thing but you're absolutely right
Now the real advantage of the new "ghostgun" vs the old, is that it's pretty hard to completely destroy a traditional firearm, to make it literally vanish for the face of the earth. While a plastic crap is what it is
To understand the purpose of modern 3d printed variants is to understand the purpose of the liberator.
Efforts are to improve reliability to actually make them viable long term. Much success is developing here - with thousands of successful rounds. But it's also to ensure liberators always remain available.
