3D printed Gun tested by ATF and Blows up!

as if there aren't enough guns already!

Be off with you, brainwashed shill sheep!

You idiot aussies gave up your guns. Don't expect anyone else to be as dumb as you!

"penetrate a few inches of flesh"

sounds like a bb gun

With the 3D printers becoming an everyday household item, gun regulation, along with other laws, will become obsolete.

Not that I am a gun advocate, but it is obvious what will eventually happen, and fighting it will not work...

probably the .22lr one with a 2cm barrel worked because it only had 700 or so fps behind it.

But the 9mm blew to smitherines and maybe the .380 worked too?

how does life in prison for getting caught with a 3d hand-bomb "gun" sound?

oh there's plenty that can be done to fight it.

Get your pants unknotted folks...

Nobody is ever going to make a fully functional firearm entirely out of plastic. That's called an airsoft gun lmao. Bullets need metal barrels, firearms need barrels, a tube of unrifled plastic is not a barrel....

Don't you dare or we'll make possession of Nutella a death sentance!!!

that shit is lethal

fuck i meant Vegemite

Printable hand grenades!

so it shoot plastic bullets?

And the cases? Plastic?

and the primers?

You can NEVER have too many guns.

shut up, douche. Molon labe.

Sure they are. There are plastics strong enough.
(Although no plastics you can use in a 3D printer, yet anyway)

But now there are 3D printers that use metal, and they already have used one to create a working gun.

Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.

Bah, laws...

Lawyers and politicians believe they can solve any problem creating laws. (While still keeping loopholes the size of a semi for their own benefit)

If you think laws do any good, you truly are an idiot.

The only ones that follow laws are the law abiding citizens that will have the guns shoved up their asses the minute 3D printers become mainstream and available in the ghettos.

The only one suffering from banning guns are law abiding citizens, not the criminals.

All research ever conducted has shown again and again that the guns belonging to law abiding citizens rarely is used for criminal activity.

Forgot about that research you did by watching youtube videos. That's scientific right there!

Oh, little swedish boy, you are too funny!

You dont need a 3d printer to make a gun:

[link to thehomegunsmith.com]

This english guy made one from home depot parts, fully automatic, and there is even instructions for a silencer.

I think you need a specific designs to print a gun. Whether that will hinder people making them is unknown.

So let's print one in metal instead! Fully-functional semi-auto pistol, anyone?

Thread: World’s first 3D printed METAL 1911 PISTOL unveiled (VIDEO)

Here's a video of them testing it out with 500 rounds. Doesn't miss a beat!

Indeed! Why not just make a few ink droplets on paper laws that all cars must have 300 mpg using existing fuels. Oh wait, is it because law are just that, ink droplets on a piece of paper. Nothing to do with nature, reality, and physics. Just decrees by a small group of people to control them while the gun carrying goons put fear in people to follow those ink stains.

3d printed or not, everything engineered will go through phases and revisions before reaching a stable state. People expect something to be done the first time and be perfect?

the MSM news segment i saw on TV told a different story, they portrayed the plastic gun as deadly, accurate, powerful, and UNDETECTABLE specifically saying they can be snuck into airports, schools, hospitals, and courtrooms.

then almost like a disclaimer they showed a quick snippit of the gun exploding and said they need metal parts to work. im pretty sure the sheeple will miss that part just like they are supposed to

There we go, I knew I'd seen this somewhere.


atm we're figuring out how to get 3d printing to give us what we want.

So while there are prototypes that fail (like the one in the OP) there are also ones that work pretty well (like the one in the vid above.)

Basically, 3d printing of firearms is viable, the tech is young but picking up pace quickly as we figure out what materials work and what designs are viable.

Governments are shitting bricks over the concept of firearms I'm sure.
Give it some time and everything is gonna change.

I'm sure people said Karl Benz was wasting his time on that stupid carriage with no horses.

that one is metal

metal 3d printing is complicated as all get out.

its metal powders, then kilns to heat it together
etc
etc
etc
very complicated, not the same as plastic 3d printing

Neither are sharp pens.
