Beretta PPX4 Tech Specs
The Beretta PX4 Storm is interesting, as it features a rotating barrel locking system which uses the rotational force of the bullet passing through the rifling to unlock the barrel.
The technical skills to convert this into a 3D printable working design was definitely not easy but done very well by jmanjones.
