First working 3D-printed firearm built
• http://www.gizmag.com, By Jonathan FincherAs the technology improves, 3D printers are being used more and more to create a wide variety of objects, some incredibly useful (like skeletal implants) and some just for fun (like custom robot figurines).
Uncle Sam ain't gonna like this development... which I imagine is the first of many more to come. Some criticize the plastic gun parts because the original design of the gun (virtually all guns) was for metal construction. But not everyone has the metal working tools and skills needed for gunsmithing. Simply being able to load a program into your computer and use a plastic 3-D printer to make parts is a great development. Especially as it may be a last resort in a desperate defense against tyranny. As this will not supply revenue to the gun industry, nor serial numbers to the BATF, I suppose the feds are going to have fits. Particularly as this concept of printing gun parts gets more fully developed with more models.
Can't wait to print the ammo, too.
