While even the most detached layperson will tell you they are aware of some of the amazing and positive feats being accomplished with 3D printing — from heartwarming stories of children (and even their pets) being fitted with affordable, customized 3D printed prosthetics to information regarding global progress as 3D printing is making huge strides in manufacturing of high-quality components — most everyone is also well-acquainted with and interested in the most controversial item 3D printers can make: guns.

And gun enthusiasts certainly aren't silencing themselves (though they can silence their guns) when it comes to putting their 3D printed designs out there to the public. What's the point of 3D printing a cool new gun if you can't show it off while you are spectacularly blowing away 'stuff' in your backyard shooting range — and especially when it comes to raising the bar with an even more powerful weapon that's hot off the press.
