Allegedly gun parts were found along with 3D printers, when officers of the Greater Manchester Police force conducted a search on Thursday in the Baguley area of wynshawi in southern Manchester.
If these parts prove to be legal, bankruptcy will represent the first
The next seizure.
The weapon is almost entirely made with a 3D printer made of plastic, creating the possibility of escaping the detection of metal detectors at airport security checks.
Fire specialists are now conducting forensic checks on these components to determine if they can be used to build functional equipment.
A man was arrested on suspicion of making gunpowder and is currently being detained for questioning.
Police are concerned that these weapons may have been manufactured privately by criminals in their own homes, so they evade the detection of security scanners at airports and other high levels. risk targets.
\"If what we have seized turns out to be a viable and constituent building a real gun, then, it proves that organized crime groups are getting the technology they can buy on the street to produce the next generation of weapons, \"Detective Inspector Chris mothorpe of Greater Manchester told Sky News.
\"In theory, the technology basically allows criminals to produce their own guns privately in their own homes, and then they can provide these guns to criminal gangs that cause this pain in our community,\" he said.
\"Because they are also plastic, X can be avoided
Light detection makes it easy for them to hide and smuggle.
These may be the next generation of weapons.

However, the blog GigaOM points out that the parts shown on the media are \"actually parts for 3D printers\", not parts for weapons.
\"If the police think the part on the photo is the trigger, just search for mk8 on thingiverse.
You will see that it is an automatic upgrade part of the printer.
