Everything's set for the Urutau release on AUGUST 20! A 100% DIY gun with ZERO gun parts (even unregulated gun parts), featuring a weldless bolt and select-fire options. Stay tuned! You can buy kits on my site, link on my profile! Are you ready?

Urutau development update: most of development is done, only things that need testing to finish the gun design are hammer durability in fully automatic mode and bolt design. from there is work in documentation. only promise I can make is that the release will be on 2024.

Why waste your time on anything else when you can build your own DIY bullpup? unleash your inner guerrila fighter and bring the Urutau to life. as DIY as an FGC-9, you'll have a unique and versatile firearm in no time. Join the beta and experience the thrill of DIY gunsmithing.

Besides hotfixes, 0.1.3 (released today) will be the last beta version of the Urutau. Testers who built both are saying that the Urutau is easier to make than the FGC-9, we'll see if its true on the final release. The clock is ticking, the release approaches.

Americans got lazy in full DIY development cause they can get parts kits, make a frame, and call it a day. Thats why almost all the chads that do DIY stuff live in restrictive places. Parts kits do more harm than good and the fixation with glock mags is a symptom of this laziness

After careful consideration, I have awesome news! after @Yippiekiyay6 enlighted me on the benefits of Glock mags, i decided to remove the scorpion mag from the Urutau. from now on it will use Glock mags only. they are easier to load and have the most based feed type, single feed.

After a few suggestions i settled on Japu. (one more tropical bird name that is hilarious to see you guys try to pronounce) Chambered in .380 on the main version. now its official, the Japu will start more serious dev work as the urutau is closer and closer to being finished.

The Urutau was a joint project with chatrooms on both Gatalog and AWCY?, but since the beta on AWCY? was a bit dead I asked the guys there to move to the Gatalog chat room. Sorry if i made the mistake of thinking that AWCY? was still cool with releasing it. 1/2.

To answer the questions we've been getting. Yes, AWCY? did collaborate early on in the Urutau's development. No, we did not endorse any of the advertisements for it, or agree to have our copyrighted logo in them. No, our position on the gatalog and stark has not changed at all.

since there was some time since a dev update, here we go. Currently on the 0.1.2 version. geometry wise the feed ramp is good now and the problem is that the bolt not having enough energy to close reliably, the cutout is just to get some close up videos (latest test by rsmith28)

Watched the DEFCAD "live", good arguments on FOSS, but how are they "liberating" files by putting it behind a paywall? iirc only gcode is subject to ITAR not steps. Why put leaked beta files on the site? Why create fake dev profiles? Why mislead naive people to pay for access?

Found a super early Urutau CAD, I don't even know how old this is, only clue is that it is from before the FGC-9 mk2 release as per the mk1 ejector style. This unlocked a memory of me spamming "mk2 when" in chat so I could see how they made the mk2 ejector cover design.
