3d printed guns are generally terrible. I think a high tech approach to improvised firearms would be incorporating the use of extremely cheap, tiny, affordable lathes and CNC machines.
They have improved considerably over the past 5 years and are more than viable for an extended use drop gun than ever before.
All the better if you can use a sintering 3D printer and then mill the final dimensions to operational spec and choose a design that is less straining on the frame/receiver.
If you are talking about machining from a billet, that is a serious dedication of time, energy, and finances. It is one thing if you learn to mill for sustainability and self-reliance, a whole 'nother thing if you are that motivated to make guns without the man knowing. You still would be buying a barrel if you can’t drop enough for the setup to make one.
I mean sure but a piece of pipe and a shotgun shell will do the trick

The thing NGOs do in Africa is 3D print AK gun parts to be used to make molds to fill in where captured gun parts are lacking so that resistance groups against warlords can be better armed.
There are NGOs providing weapons? What are they called, “Weapons sans frontiers”?
Metal Gear has entered the chat
Um, yes?
NGOs often face situations in which the people that need humanitarian aid cannot be reached because a belligerent interest intercepts all supply. This is how we ended up with ad-hoc military support vehicles (say a pickup with a machine-gun mount) being called a technical since it and its crew would be budgeted in as technical services since Red Cross can’t exactly say they hired some goons to stand guard while they dispensed first aid services.
So when NGOs scout a new region to support and ask the local villages what they need, it’s super common to hear well, our biggest problem is the warlord up-river who keeps sending guys with guns to take all our stuff. And since NATO isn’t interested in sorting that out, it’s up to our peace-corps crew to think about how to provide an ad-hoc balance of power.
The problem is with a village with nothing but pointed sticks, one or two guys with an AK-47 can throw the balance or power so far that the village is forced to capitulate to the warlord. And it’s not that the NGOs are consulting with an arms dealer (which is how the warlord is getting his guns), so they’re improvising, which sometimes means 3D printing gun parts and then smithing them locally.
As per most crisis hot spots in the world, few things are simple, and so yes, NGOs that are supposed to be non-violent (and even will present themselves as such to the international community) will resort to ad-hoc violence or violence-adjacient solutions. IRL is often messy.

“back in the 90s” - LOL.
January, 1971 -
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anarchist_Cookbook
Best thing in the book was the section on drugs…
“You want to do pot? Here’s how to get and do pot. You want to do coke? Here’s how to get and do coke. You want to do heroin? You have to be fucking stupid to want to do heroin, we aren’t telling you how to do heroin.”
“Here’s how to make LSD from a banana peel” was such bullshit.
Was that actually in the OG cookbook? I know it was in the .txt that was circulating in the 90s by the jollyroger, but I never got my hands on the original…
I think so? Now I can’t remember if I got it from the book or from the text file.
It was published in 1968, and to give you an idea of how bad things were Michelle Remembers was published in 1980, was regarded as factual and featured Mary, Mother of Jesus coming to save Michelle from a Satanic ritual, and that wasn’t enough of a hint to stop the book from being used as evidence in courts of law.
And yes, Bananadine was a hoax and Powell bought into it and he poo-pooed toad licking and it’s real (look up Colorado River Toad. I explain it in another comment). So yes, Powell was convinced despite his best diligence. We should be grateful for the wisdom of the internet (warts, worts and all).
I tried the banana thing in highschool, and felt like an idiot afterwards.
They call it mellow yellow.

Here’s the anarchist cookbook from the group I’m in, it’s an actual cookbook because we’re about food not bombs, published 2015.
I love the section for cooking for large groups, it’s a great resource.
Reclamation of the word ´anarchism´ is the biggest change since the 90s on this front, so this is probably the best answer. Thanks for feeding people.

I recall an article saying a bit of makeup can be enough to fool automatic facial recognition. It compares flat, 2D images, so “faking different shadows” in key areas like the eyes and nose would make you a different person
It’s actually surprisingly difficult to thwart facial recognition with makeup alone. It’s not something as simple as just adding some extra contouring, because the software is typically using videos of moving people, not just a single still image. Plus new models are constantly being developed, and what works for one model isn’t guaranteed to work for all of them. Even makeup as extreme as this often fails to fool detection:
Even if wild makeup was the answer, you’d still have to start some kind of cultural movement for it to be practical. Otherwise you’re basically painting “political dissident” on your face and being the one person in town that looks like a Jackson Pollock will just make you easier to spot in the crowd.
I’d rather wear a ski mask at that point.
Cheaper option really.
Less cleanup, which is always a plus with matters concerning the face
Honestly I wouldn’t mind contributing if someone wanted to do it.

Obviously I’m assuming this wouldn’t be a paperback.
Llama?
Probably. I think that might be the top open source small LLM. I really need to set it up and try it.
It’s really just download and install. Just follow the instruction on the website. And check the readme on githun for how to use it.
If you want aa nice looking webinterface, instead of a commandline interface, you can also download one of the many ready to use frontends. You can find them in the github readme.
I installed it yesterday and the cli is pretty slow (on windows), but the rest api is pretty quick.

Some things wouldn’t be different, you’d still have some instructions on how to make certain drugs, explosives and chemicals. You’d just 3D print more of the components where appropriate, and guns.
If anyone is at all curious, there are plenty of places to download the original Cookbook.
Yeah but what about an updated one for 2024?
That’s what I just covered?
I think he’s asking for to download the content of the one for 2024. Not just the topics you mentioned.
Well, considering we’re engaged in the hypothetical contents of said book were someone to create it - it doesn’t exist. Seems you’re probably right, but not a well worded question considering the context of the discussion.
Tracking metadata for every government agency in the world.

There was an article on wiki of leaderless groups i suggesst it because it is very worth the read.
Do you have a link?

Probably an entire chapter dedicated to 3D printing guns.
Personally quite a fan of the idea of making my own pistol (or, well, some of it) in the comfort of my own home, but far too poor to get a 3d printer that’ll actually do a good job.
Here you go. If you’re in the US, most states have stupidly lax laws on homemade firearms. It basically boils down to don’t make them too short, don’t make them full auto, put a serial number on it, and pay your taxes.
Serial number not necessary unless you’re selling it.
They like you having it incase it gets stolen.
That said, “1” is technically a valid serial.
Not my problem what “they like.” If it gets stolen, I’ll print another.
Mfers can literally do anything in the US as long as they pay their taxes.
A lot of the same stuff, plus information about how to mine crypto.
As a sidenote: That text file is partially why anarchism has such a bad rep today, because whoever wrote it obviously subscribed to the idea that anarchism means “chaos everywhere and no homework!!11”. It’s an interesting read, though. I just think the title is a bad fit.
But DO NOT try the recipes! Some are so wrong they could kill you just by following them to the letter.
If you really want to go that route, skip this book and read “poor man’s James Bond”.
If you wanna blow stuff up just get the Improvised Munitions Handbook
Quite a few of the improvised munitions are basically “take actual munitions, and improvise them bigger”.
Nice try ATF
I’ve been considering compiling the real recipies for a while now and just remaking the book. They’re fairly easy to find already though.
I don’t think that’s what the world needs right now tbh
tried the peanut one and vomited for 3 hours, while I thought it was 10 minutes.
don’t try.
A giant swath of 80s-90s teenagers thought that anarchism was “chaos everywhere and no homework!!11” it’s just that thankfully most of them didn’t collect a bunch of questionable advice into a book, LOL.
But, good connection that cryptobros are the modern version thereof, I hadn’t quite realized that until you posted.
I’d second this but including ways to hide your mining rig in a public area (not paying for electricity and running 24/7).
Yeah. The documentary American Anarchist adds some great perspective. The fellow who originally published it was a teen acting out who didn’t understand anarchism at the time. I didn’t even know better until I learned about it in post-secondary education.
Oh, lots of things. But for one thing, Powell wouldn’t mock the Colorado River Toad the way he did in the first book (or commenting facetiously about his buddy who suggested smoking toad skins ) since it’s an actual thing. Incilius alvarius’ defensive poison has actual hallucinogenic and psychotropic properties.
The poison on the back of a typical toad can kill a dog, so be careful, or it will fuck you up. First nations folk would actually lick the toads and just suffer the bad trip until they got accustomed to the toxins. But that’s a rough ride.
Since the late twentieth century cultivators would raise and milk toad venom and then distill the desired chemistries into a powder that can be ingested or smoked (much like cannibis, rolled into cigarettes, smoked from a pipe or mixed into edibles), hence yeah, when Powell heard about it, it registered as smoking toad skins though thankfully, the frogs survive the process.
Powell’s 'tude about drugs was informed by the 60s mind-expansion movement to try different stuff and see what broadens your perspective. And so the 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine / bufotenin cocktail would actually fit right into his philosophy. If I remember right, he talked about trying peyote, which was a really bad trip for him.
All that said, there’s self-awareness related stuff that I would want to throw in, since the western psychiatric model is not great for dealing with mental illness or for reconciling living in a toxic society. Drugs are commonly used to self medicate but even then can be so much more effective when we’re aware that’s what we’re doing, and this is a point often missed in drug culture, in recovery culture and in the mental health sector all together.
Well, what’s the modern equivalent of an Army explosives manual to remix into dangerous misinformation?
