This is Popular Front, a podcast focused on the niche details of Modern Warfare and underreported

conflict with me Jake Hanrahan. Today we're going to do things a little bit

differently because for this episode we're going to be speaking about the

unfortunate death of J-stack. Now if you don't know who J Stark is I

suggest you go to the Popular Front YouTube channel that's YouTube.

YouTube.com slash Popular Front. Look for a documentary that we made called

Plastic Defense. It's got 2.3 million views as of October 2021. It's all about J-stack and this 3D printed weapon that he has made, the FGC

9. That stands for fuck gun control 9mm.

J-Stak is essentially the pioneer of 3D printed firearms in Europe.

Him and his colleague came up with the designs for the FGC 9. It's a 3D printed submachine gun.

80% of it is literally made of plastic. It's very clearly deadly. It does not blow up in your hands when fired

Whatever you think about guns. This thing is very well made and in the documentary

Plastic Defense we went and met Jay Stark. He's out in Western Europe where he was.

And we met him and we spent time with him.

It took me three years, two to three years, I think it was, of talking to Jayuck before he agreed that yes we can go and

film with him and obviously over those three years I got to know him I got to know him

him off camera and you know I think it's, it's sad that he's dead actually.

I mean, I, you'll see the dark eye very clearly disagree with him on a lot of things.

But, you know, I think it's sad.

I've had people say, oh, you shouldn't say that you know you're a

journalist fuck out of him and this is this is popular front not CNN you know and

J Stark was a kind of lonely guy and yeah okay you know a lot of his ideas perhaps you me everybody
