If we want to talk about guntuber adjacent people, AWCY is cringe in the 3D print gun community.
I don't know much about AWCY except from the part that they literally took their name from a fictional organization in the SCP universe (cringe) and they don't have the editing skills they think they do. Their trailers are dogshit.
Derwood has a huge chip on his shoulder over the FGC-9. Dude went ballistic once and accused DetDisp of stealing his design (fixing it), not giving any credit (even though Ivan and Jstark both credited and praised him in multiple podcasts and articles), and making money off it (even though DetDisp isn't monetized and just takes donations to help finance the testing).
In his youtube channel sometimes he posts derivatives of his design such as a bufferless model or a roller delayed PCC, and you see commenters cheering him on and telling him to patent his designs so that DetDisp can't steal it.... I don't know what part of "can't stop the signal" these people don't understand, but I digress.
Their efforts would be better spent learning how to operate a mill and lathe
One of the design constraints of the FGC-9 was being able to manufacture shit when you're a nogunz urbanite cuck in the middle of bugland, because if you could afford to move to the country and have decent machining equipment in the garage you would be already doing whatever the fuck you want without help from DetDisp.
Unfortunately our dystopia looks more like Demolition Man than the Kowloon Walled City, because at least there people could be living packed like sardines but nobody would give you the business for running your lathe until 11PM.
Two channels
ZURAD and
Morlock are actually working on a way to use CNC on an electrochemical machining apparatus - which could lower the bar for homebrew machining. Since the electrode doesn't touch the workpiece you don't have the issue of small desktop machines having less resistance to flexing or not damping vibrations as well, thus performing worse than proper lathes and mills too heavy to get into a 5th floor apartment.
