This is popular front, a podcast focused on the niche details of modern warfare and

underreported conflict with me Jake Hanrahan. Today we're speaking to Ivan the Troll.

He is one of the most well-known 3D printed gun advocates.

He's behind many of the new designs and he's going to be talking to us about this new thing he has which

has caused some controversy the Plasticov which is basically parts for a 3D printed

all need to agree on everything have a listen it's very interesting if you like
