Ghost Gunner is an American desktop CNC mill manufactured in Austin, Texas.
It was launched in October 2014 by Cody Wilson and the founders of Defense Distributed.
Ghost Gunner began as a limited series of CNC mills produced by Defense Distributed in a crowdfunding sale to its mailing list in October 2014.
Spring 2015 shipments sold out almost immediately, and its first media reviewer noted the machine "...worked so well that it may signal a new era in the gun control debate, one where the barrier to legally building an untraceable, durable, and deadly semiautomatic rifle has reached an unprecedented low point in cost and skill.
