3D printed Gun, takes man to jail.



The Metropolitan police in on Wednesday, convicted a 26-year-old man who made a 3D printed fire arm that was capable of releasing a lethal shot on recoil.
It was recalled in October 2017 that some component of the weapon was discovered in a drug crime scene during a raid in London
The accused, Tendai Muswere, pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday to manufacturing a firearm. Although he explained to the court that the 3D gun was a project for the university, but the officers on investigation found that he had a search history of checking the internet to watch videos on how to make a weapon that could fire live ammunition.
Although this is the first British conviction relating to a gun made using a 3D printer as stated by the polices, acting Detective Sergeant Jonathan Roberts had this to say.
"Muswere claimed that he was printing the firearms for a 'dystopian' university film project but he has not explained why he included the component parts necessary to make a lethal barrelled weapon."
He furthermore added saying: "We know that Muswere was planning to line the printed firearms with steel tubes in order to make a barrel capable of firing."
