GoKawiilCody Wilson demonstrates AI-designed 3D-printed gun called the WASP
Gun-rights activist Cody Wilson, known for the 3D-printed Liberator pistol, publicly tested a new firearm called the WASP, which he says was generated using AI. In a live demonstration outside his Austin headquarters, the single-shot .22 caliber device misfired once before successfully firing twice, with one shot missing its cardboard target.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The demonstration suggests AI tools are being applied to firearm design, potentially lowering the technical barrier to creating untraceable 'ghost guns' beyond existing 3D-printing methods Wilson pioneered over a decade ago. The gun's crude, malfunction-prone performance indicates such AI-assisted designs remain unreliable, though Wilson's framing of it as a milestone could fuel further regulatory and safety debate around homemade firearms.
- Cody Wilson tested a gun he calls the first AI-generated firearm, the WASP.
- The 3D-printed .22 caliber device misfired once and fired successfully twice during the demonstration.
- Wilson previously created the 3D-printed Liberator pistol 13 years ago, part of his ongoing push on untraceable firearms.
