German Kurd Jacob Duygu, found dead in 2021, designed a semi-automatic pistol used by criminals and paramilitaries around the world
The shadowy figure behind the world’s most successful 3D-printed weapon has been unmasked as a 28-year-old “incel” who claimed gun ownership was a basic human right.
Jacob Duygu, who was known by the pseudonym JStark 1809, developed the FGC-9 [F— Gun Control 9mm] in March 2020 after becoming frustrated at the standard of existing models.
Little was known about his true identity or background, but a report published by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) has now revealed him to be the son of Kurdish immigrants who served with the German military and held deeply misogynistic, racist and anti-Semitic views.
