This study examines the proliferation of 3D-printed firearms and their use by terrorist groups. Examining several case studies, a data-driven analysis of the 3D-printed firearm, looking into the geographical spread, ideological breakdown, individual profiles and most popular types of firearms, is presented. Due to ideological and geographical factors, 3D-printed firearms are more prevalent among far-right groups as opposed to jihadists or other ideological groups. Finally, the article discusses the evolving threat landscape and implications for counter terrorism efforts, and suggests strategies to mitigate this emerging security challenge.
