3D Printed FNS-40 “Le Gros Chungus” Preview

[@mattbiek]

You are single-handedly making 3-D printing firearms a legitimately awesome and easy to do thing thank you so much

[@booliganshootingsports]

I stand on the shoulders of giants like Ivan, CtrlPew, NguyenKvvn, and many more. I just try to add to the aesthetics of great designs.

[@Doobie603]

That would look good in the old OD Green and Black motif.

[@ALTCTRLY33T]

So glad to see some love for the FNS. I feel like they were all but forgotten after the 509 came out. This is especially good for me to see, since now I have something do do with this extra FNS-9L slide I've had in my parts drawer. And damn that looks cool! Love the full length dust cover. Keep it up 👌💥💯 BIG BIG CHUNGUS BIG CHUNGUS BIG CHUNGUS

[@marvinzosa7779]

what good thing is that you're not the same with other 3d printed guys that sell their designs.. you give it for free.. you're so awesome man! keep it up

[@graysonsnyder5048]

Dude your killing it. Your stuff is getting more and more professional.

[@booliganshootingsports]

Much appreciated!

[@joemama.556]

buying tungsten and making diy guns never ended well with the authorities lmao. I wish no fed decides to bother you, great work btw!

[@booliganshootingsports]

Please provide a link to a time that was ever an issue for anyone. These are tungsten pinewood derby car weights, nothing even remotely controlled.

[@DC4EVA]

Beautiful work man, love it !!!

[@jamesgravel7755]

I’ve been looking for the long slide. That thing is super sweet. It looked like the weight helped a lot on the slo mo video. As always you do a fantastic job.

[@richcastle]

midwest gun works

[@datrendsetta]

If you focus on the travel of the front sight you can see there is much less flip with the counter weight. Its also cool to see what the downward, (probably more inward) force with your grip you use to control the recoil, causing the recoil to swirl through your wrists. Very smooth and gets your sights back quick. Awesome 👍🏾

[@tjwill86]

Keep doing the lords work good sir.

[@ryangshooter_1682]

Vaguely reminds me of the 10mm pistol from Fallout 3 in the front

[@genesis5347]

Lmao, imagine dying from chungus.

[@Gamingawesomeness121]

Cool. Also cool that you get your own website, it might be better that way.

[@brettanderson6743]

I could see someone using that mad sound from the range for a some mad beats.

[@joeoakes6209]

Excellent work! I could see what you were referring to on the muzzle flip. I think the major difference was the weight brought the front end level while the body was still high. While without the weight the weight it took longer for the muzzle to flatten.

[@booliganshootingsports]

Yeah, it seems like it slowed the impulse to rise just slightly, but once it did, the pendulum effect slammed it right back down on target quickly and smoothly. I’m really happy with how it shot!

[@joeoakes6209]

@@booliganshootingsports I think it might make sense for me to make a shorter version for my glock .40 cal. I really like the modularity! It also got me thinking about gyroscopes to reduce specific planes of motion.

[@timewave02012]

FN is indeed in the French-speaking part of Belgium, but tension between Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia is a big deal in Belgium, as I understand. According to family lore, one of the motivating factors for my great, great grandfather moving to the US was difficulty with the French language.

[@wadekirby8575]

The added weight makes the recoil slower. That is why it feels smoother.

[@HuyTran-sk3py]

FNS40 mags are on sale for 28.99 at CDNN.

[@maxout214226]

There does seem to be distinct muzzle rise without the weight. Your muzzle doesn't flip back much differently, but your whole wrist seems to be rising more.

[@booliganshootingsports]

Part of that could just be more recoil in general mechanically hitting my arm joint. Since this weighs almost 1/4 lb more than normal, that certainly affects the recoil in general.

[@seakseak5766]

My favorite edc was the fns9 which is just like the fns40 they are great quality guns never jammed and I put way over 1000 rounds I loved it better than my glock

[@ethulsrulezd00d]

Dude I’m convinced you are also secretly the lock picking lawyer your voices are identical

[@booliganshootingsports]

I wish I was, his KZbin revenue is 🔥🔥🔥

[@mistaBorg]

The weight module works really well from what the video shows, but have you tried making a custom grip for yourself that fits you better? I think you can achieve a much flatter shooting gun if you can grip it better from the start... also do you not paint-in the text you make on the prints? it looks bit weird with just solid color...

[@booliganshootingsports]

This is a first prototype, and I generally need to make the files to fit 99% of the population. But on my personal projects, I do all kinds of special customizations to fit my hand 👍

[@MrShtbrick]

Now you've made me want an FNS-40.

[@printyour2a414]

Keep up the good work!

[@TJenga]

Could you design a Roni or Pdw type attachment for the fns? I have not been able to find one for anything but the Glock

[@HarshmanHills]

Looks good. I'm looking to get my first printer next week from Amazon

[@nissangeek]

Excited for this one! How does one go about getting included or considered for beta testing? I dont run a youtube channel but I do print just about everything I can (and some I cant) find parts kits for.

[@dannyromine4002]

Gorgeous. You should make a video showing your slicer setting and your preferred filament please 🙏🏼

[@booliganshootingsports]

I generally use stock Cura profiles honestly. And I prefer Duramic PLA+

[@macdaddy8011]

Excellent workmanship. How does the 3D filament used compare with the OEM polymer? Never give in to the haters.

[@booliganshootingsports]

It’s definitely not as sturdy, but a properly printed frame should still last you for thousands of rounds.

[@macdaddy8011]

@@booliganshootingsportsAppreciate the response. Anything special about the filament used?

[@booliganshootingsports]

@@macdaddy8011 just using PLA+ on this one, nothing exotic

[@zee7056]

Are you planning on creating/releasing those weight module files for other pistols?

[@booliganshootingsports]

Possibly. Just depends the base gun design.

[@vedrisca]

I wouldn't say that you reduced your muzzle flip, but the way that it snaps back down with the extra weight in the front does allow for faster target re-acquisition (if that's the right term?). Like a much shorter recoil impulse?

[@booliganshootingsports]

It almost has a pendulum effect to snap it back down. It’s really interesting to see in slomo for sure.

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

Innovative

[@truly-oni3945]

New to printing. Will the basic FNS-40 slide work with this frame?

[@booliganshootingsports]

It’ll be too short. This is designed around the long slide.

[@truly-oni3945]

@@booliganshootingsports ah ok, thanks. I appreciate it a lot!

[@armenchuck]

You can definitely see how flat the weights make the gun shoot

[@joshuazoldschool4720]

I've got pretty good micro-vision and it sure looked to me like you had less muzzle flip with the weight attached. Nice work Sir👍😁

[@IAmTjay116]

[@sevenity2677]

Counter is a good option but I have always thought that active recoil management might be better but complicated. What do you think about compensate ports or breaks in barrel? I always wondered if an active recoil slide in opposite direction would ever help or just be more an issue?

[@FluffRat]

It looks like the main recoil impulse here is still the shot, rather than the reciprocating mass, so a comp would make more sense (and add even more muzzle weight).

[@Fyreye]

I bet is sucks to shoot in that tube but dear god the sound it makes on film is *amazing*

[@booliganshootingsports]

It’s actually pretty pleasant unless you’re shooting something like my short barrel comped Mosin.

[@misfittoy6687]

Damn man, where did you find a complete parts kit for 250?? The cheapest I've found is 400 w/ case and mag! Share the info!

[@booliganshootingsports]

They used to only cost $150. When this project was formally announced, the cheap kits sold out in a matter of hours, leaving behind only scalpers.

Uh because glock gen 3 is probably the most home built handgun in the US and has been for years now.

[@booliganshootingsports]

Sure, but I don’t understand your question. Why are you seeing these being built “like Glocks?” If you mean why are you seeing these being home built, because we now have files to print the frame and there was a time that the parts kits cost like $150.

So what I’m asking is did the patent expire or something. I have the fns it’s one of my favorites.

[@timrobinson6573]

If you didn't include the rail attachment on the gun in the video thumbnail I think you would get more engagement. I've been skipping over these videos because I wasn't interested in what looked like some big monstrosity of a gun. When I finally watched a video I realized it's a rail attachment.

[@booliganshootingsports]

Eh, considering my similarly designed frame for Glocks with a permanent weight is one of my highest viewed projects, this actually gets more engagement than just another normal 3D printed FN frame. Unique gets engagement.
