Billed as world's first AI-generated gun: GatGPT-designed, 3D-printed WASP fires 2 of 3 rounds in live test

Decision Brief

What changedCody Wilson released WASP, a .22-caliber single-shot pistol reportedly designed by his own model GatGPT and 3D printed, then live-fired it at his Austin headquarters.
Why it mattersGatGPT lets people with no modeling experience generate printable gun designs from natural-language prompts, bypassing hash-based detection and 3D-printer gun-blocking software.

Wilson says WASP's entire development process, from naming to safety changes, was carried out through natural-language dialogue between GatGPT and a human, closer to "vibe coding" than traditional engineering drawings. The model was trained on DEFCAD's gun-file library and is in limited early access. In testing, WASP misfired on the first shot; after adjustments, 2 of 3 rounds fired successfully. It was printed on a Bambu Lab printer with standard plastic filament in about six hours, plus a few metal parts such as the firing pin and barrel. The generated design has clear flaws: an unclosed trigger guard, an inverted grip shape, and unusable sights.
