Working gun made with 3D printer

[Agmen of Eladesor]

I hope my government sees this development, and takes steps.

Whilst this does move somewhat into the political realm, and thus normally off limits - we are talking about the same government here that already says that if you're under 18, you can't go into a department store and buy a set of common kitchen flatware because it contains butter knives.

In the case of a fully printed gun, it can and will shoot ... some. The problem that comes about now is that repeated firing ends up making the thing too unstable, such that the barrel goes boom after a few shots.

Realize also that a simple zip gun doesn't need complicated 3D printers - all you need is a nail and some common plumbing fittings (like two pieces of closely sized pipe). You can make a single shot pistol or shotgun for under $10 in materials - and gangs ALREADY know how to make those. Heck, it's not like videos on how to make those aren't out there on YouTube now - they are. (And no, I'm not going to link to them - I do have some standards.)

Heck, the old British Sten gun was basically a glorified improvised firearm.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
