3D Printed Gun is Made

3D Printed Gun

wow

Again?

Edit: Oh, a different one. Ugly as sin.

Did they fix the receiver problem with their semi-auto design?

 

[Cpus]

Again?

no this time it is completely made by 3d printer not just the bottom

not sure. they never actually said if they even fired it.

Thank you. The OP link was worthless.

No way in hell would I fire that. I like my fingers too much.

Why bother when you can get the real thing for so much cheaper and less tracking...

ABS is $25 a kg

FYI its a single fire gun so dont get to carried away. You get 1 shot and throw the fker in the trash can (or recycle it).

Make it, take it to the hood, demonstrate that it works, sell. The buyer won't know that it's single fire.


An enterprising individual could disarm an entire neighborhood just by selling a lot of guns there.

It's reloadable. Not sure I'd trust it for too many shots, but it can be done. It would be a good assassination pistol.

50-100 years from now when this technology rapidly advances and the costs nose dive to a point where it's cheaper to mass produce products by printer than it is by human hands or even automated assembly line I anticipate some serious repercussions for jobs and society in general. In half a century when people can "print out" a fully functional gun or any number of dangerous objects on the cheap in their very own homes in hardly any time at all I fully expect the government to attempt to regulate the technology.

The government is going to attempt to regulate the technology LONG before that.

Freedom is dangerous. Dangerous to whom is the question.

they are already trying to regulate 3d printed guns.

I'd say mostly to the gov't... the people need freedom man.

 

[mizzou]

Cool, can't wait to see the lawsuits for injuries start coming in and tank the entire print yourself industry lol.

"Son shoots self with faulty made printer gun due to a bug." - Congress asked to act on regulating the self print industry, no more programs that can hurt/kill people.

This guy who's trying to pioneer printing your own guns, I hope he gets some good lawyers.

Printer's at least a G. And most people are clueless when it comes to computers, let alone a CAD system, which would run for a few Gs unless you download illegally. Guberment might try to track people downloading 3D gun plans.

May as well just walk into the hood or a gun show and buy something with no paper trail. It'll actually fire more than a few shots too...

 

[mizzou]

gun making is extremely dangerous, if anyone thinks we can just simply "print" something that is a piece of art is kidding themselves. Your average joe is not going to do it properly, no matter how detailed and foolproof the instructions are.

All this is doing, it's just going to kill one of the coolest technologies to come out in a while

The printable gun, although ugly, initially expensive, probably not accurate, or otherwise useful, is a huge milestone.

That milestone, coming is coming too quick in my opinion and it's going to get hurt in the process. Printing your own plastic gun will be a felony crime

 

[OverVolt]

3d printers are dumb.

Spend $3000 on a machine that makes plastic crap you could otherwise buy from China.

Any 3d printed gun is going to be a piece of crap useless to anyone. Everything that is useful and made of plastic is already sold in stores, so its a useless tech.

there are quite a few good CAD software for up to $150

you would just download the file not make it yourself. that is what thingiverse is for.

 

[OverVolt]

I guess its a hobby type thing but other than that go to the store

You want to kill 3-D printed guns?

A. Make illegal to make or possess such a weapon
B. Fill cyberspace with faulty plans that are designed such that the gun is destroyed when fired & cannot create enough pressure to propel the bullet forward with lethal speed. If the shooter is injured by gun fragments, so be it.

A few idiots make the fake guns & get injured, and a few publicized articles, and problem goes away. Any counter-measures to detect such guns - blogs about what to look for, etc. - easily defeated by doing the same.

 

[OverVolt]

Pretty sure all of them have B covered.
