There goes gun control. "After an attempted gang murder in the French city of Marseille last year, the police found what appeared to be a toy assault rifle, seemingly crafted from plastic and Lego parts. 'But the weapon was lethal,' Col. Hervé Pétry of the national gendarmerie recalled."
FGC is an abbreviation that represents what its creators think of gun control. Nine is for the 9-millimeter bullet it fires.
Mr. Elik, in his email to The Times, said it was wrong to focus on “European cops complaining about a small number of guns being recovered,” and shootings in which nobody was injured, “rather than the gun’s use as a tool of liberation.”
Anyone with a commercial 3D printer, hundreds of dollars in materials, some metalworking skills and plenty of patience could become a gun owner.
While countless 3D-printed guns have been designed and circulated on the internet, international law enforcement officials say that the FGC-9 is by far the most common. The gun is so desirable among far-right extremists in Britain that the possession and sharing of its instruction manual is being charged as a terrorist offense.
Ivan the Troll’s media message is that this is hypocrisy. Western governments, he has noted, have armed the world’s insurgents and authoritarian leaders with weapons of war. “I’m sharing a computer file,” he said in a 2022 interview. “If I’m guilty of sharing information, what does that make them?”
And while the FGC-9 has become a staple with some of the world’s far-right extremists, it has also been embraced by insurgent groups that are fighting Myanmar’s military junta, which has committed atrocities on its own people.
“A lot of people use them,” said a fighter there who goes by the call sign 3-D. He said the FGC-9 was often used for personal defense rather than for combat because its design left it susceptible to jamming in the harsh jungle environment.
Never was illegal also most of the things inside are bullshit and don't work.
Depended on the copy you got - the counter intelligence response to the anarchists cookbook was to flood networks with versions with subtle but important errors that would either cause premature explosions or the final result to be inert.
It's a common counter intelligence tactic to bury harmful information in a deluge of misinformation.
I would like some evidence for this, please.
Because some of the "recipes" in the Anarchist's Cookbook have problems that are way more than subtle errors.

Lol I was going to bring up bananadine
Yeah, I'm guessing THEY™ took one look at the Anarchist's Cookbook and said, "yeah, we don't need to bother."
I think the person on this page puts it well:

On top of that, the author thinks the book should no longer be in print because of what it's been used for.

He wrote it when he was 19. Of course it's full of errors.
