What happens if a squib load?

In this video, he is firing a bullet from a casing containing only a primer.

My question is what is the legality of this? My inclination would be to believe that it's legal in the same manner building an AK-style rifle is legal, because it's based on a commercial production M1911. I believe it's [URL="http://caag.state.ca.us/firearms/dwcl/12020.htm"]PC 1URL] that covers it, but at the moment I don't have time to dig through it. Any thoughts?

Conceal carry it, if you ever have to use it dispose of it in water and watch it turn to mush; no more evidence.

I would think that since it fires a projectile and is not made from what most weapons are made of (good ol' metal) it could be viewed as a zip gun even though it is based off of a 1911.

that's my armchair lawyer deduction so it's completely worseless

I believe there is a law against "Undetectable firearms" from the Glock/In the line of fire scare. It was Federal IIRC.

Not sure how Polymer Cellulose would hold up to modern smokeless powder pressure. I don't want to find out first hand.

Does he also make the Glock 7?

This brings a whole new dimension to improvised prison weapons...

That's pretty cool that he's able to make those things. I don't have any better idea as to the legality than the above posters though.

Are you talking about this:

Prohibition of Undetectable Firearms Act (1988 - S. 2051)

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s100-2051

A bill entitled the "Prohibition of Undetectable Firearms Act".
