GunCAD Wiki is a wiki.

GunCAD Wiki is the official wiki of the [[GunCAD Index]].

= What GunCAD Wiki Is =

'''GunCAD Wiki is a DIY firearms knowledgebase'''. It catalogues:

* How to make DIY firearms

** In the general sense, ex. how to print, how to bend flats, how to mill 80%s, etc.

* How to tool up to make DIY firearms

** How to pick printers, what tools you need, what techniques to learn, where to do so, ventilation, etc.

* Influential groups and people in the GunCAD community

** Release groups like Gatalog, BLC, etc., single users like Hoffman who've pushed the space forward

= What GunCAD Wiki Isn't =

Just as important is understanding what it isn't. It is not:

* A list of all 3D-printable gun designs

** Use the [[GunCAD Index]] for that. We can't possibly maintain all those pages, and there's no reason to.

** Notable, high-profile designs can have their own pages '''if they are novel'''. For example, an article on the FGC-9 could have a section about lessons learned when designing for ECM barrels, or an article on the Hitchhiker about single-round open-bolts being kosher by the NFA.

* A list of all 3D-printable gun ''authors''

** Again, use the Index

** Notable authors can have their own pages, but again, they need to have pushed the space forward

* A place to encourage people to break their local laws

** Under '''no circumstances''' should any article encourage or imply that users should act in violation of laws they're under.

** Likewise, admitting to committing felonies anywhere on the website is completely prohibited. You will be swiftly and permanently banned from contributing.

= Other Prohibited Content =

To keep things laser-focused on topics that matter, the following things are also prohibited on this wiki:

* Links to and mentions of DEFCAD and its staff members

** ''Except'' where notable releases are only available on that platform

** Do not bring up Cody's criminal record -- there are other places to talk about that if you really want to
