A gun is not difficult or complicated to make. Any decent machine shop can make them, especially if you don’t care too much about quality.
And unlike a drug lab, the machine shop has a legitimate daytime use so you can set it up in plain sight.
Perhaps, but it depends on the customer. A crackhead who wants a gat probably won’t even know what ammo to load in it. (Apparently it’s somewhat common for police to arrest street criminals with a gun loaded full of the wrong caliber ammunition).
And unless you seriously overpack the round or make the barrel out of pot metal, more likely the quality problem that you will get is the gun failing to fire or failing to cycle.
Remember though, you are talking about criminals, not people like you and me who care about safety ratings.
Yes, they care when the gun they buy is either 50€$ or 50000€$ on the black market

You do realize these things are directionally oriented resettable explosives right?
Every time you fire a round is a fucking explosion going off very close to your hand.
Someone not caring about quality is gonna wish they had after losing their fingers to an overpacked round.

Guns are cheaper in the black market though.
