Reply to comment by Advanced-Payment-358 in 3D-printed weapons: Interpol and defense experts warn of ‘serious’ evolving threat by mossadnik

Cased ammo is pretty difficult but only because of the primer. If you don't intend to reload or go any bigger than 5.56 then 3d printed plastic casings are serviceable, but for a muzzle loader there's recipes online for black powder from scratch, and lead can easily be melted into a mold for shot.

I am actually pretty involved in the subject. Also, I won't care about muzzle loaders, they were phased out for obvious reasons and would be of little effect in modern day, melee weapons would likely be better option.

BP does not suit automatic weapons, and it's 1/3 of NC power.

The gun that killed Shinzou Abe was a muzzle loader so don’t necessarily discount how effective they can be. For posterity reasons, I do not recommend killing anyone at all, ideally no one dies even in self defense but the world isn’t like that. Please use gun knowledge responsibly

Like I stated, assassination is another matter compared to combat or self defense. If you get one shot and miss it, you are essentially going full melee. With automatic gun, you have a lot bigger margin of error.
