3D Printed Gun in England

8/8/25 BBC:
"A former police community support officer who was "obsessed with weapons" has been jailed after she tried to make a gun using a 3D printer.

Zoe Watts, 39, of St Helen's Avenue, Lincoln, was found with weapons, including knives and a crossbow, alongside parts for 3D printed guns during a raid on her home on 11 December."


The rifle she made was not capable of firing.  


"Jonathan Dee, prosecuting, said the semi-automatic weapon, which was a short-range rifle, was the "first weapon of this type that has been found in this country".

"He said it had "the capacity to cause mass casualties" and was capable of firing 33 bullets within 10 to 15 seconds."


Transgender, so no jail time.
