The FGC-9 semi-automatic firearm boldly expresses its ideology through its name. While the «9» denotes the bullet’s diameter in millimeters, «FGC» stands for «F*** Gun Control.» This declaration is not just a slogan; it reflects the design’s purpose and philosophy.

The FGC-9 is classified as a «physible,» a term that combines «physical» and «printable,» indicating that it can be largely 3D-printed. Its creator, known online as JStark1809, released a comprehensive 110-page guide in March 2020. In his introduction, he expressed frustration over restrictive firearm regulations, suggesting he resides outside the United States, where gun ownership is generally more accessible. The FGC-9 was designed with a global audience in mind, as evidenced by the guide’s use of the metric system.
