#61Someone is seriously going to make this as an actual weapon, and it will be functional, and all hell will break loose.

#62Oh for fuck's sake the fuckhead who printed a so-called "gun" just printed the housing for a lower receiver for an AR-15 out of cheap shitty modeling plastic.spartan322 wrote:Yes, the issue with the 3D printing gun is not to be looked over. The problem is, that the government is trying to apply the old laws, the ones used currently for "real" guns, into this 3D printing business. The thing is, it won't work. The blueprints of a gun is not a gun, and shouldn't be treated as such. New laws must be applied in order for the 3D printed guns to not be a dangerous issue.Ketercheat wrote:These gun laws won't mean anything in a few years anyway. People will be 3d printing RPG's and MIRV's and stuff from the interweb. Soon the nerds will inherit the earth.
I am sure that we will be seeing a lot of this guns in the future. From household defense to small wars and battles. They are cheaper, easier to manufacture, and it wouldn't surprise me if they were started to be improved and then used by the army in a not so distant future.
If you were to fire a gun that used that part it would snap after a few Magazines. For fuck sakes that is pathetic.
A rock is more of a weapon than a rifle that using that part let alone the part itself.

I think the concern of some people is that if a gun can be simply printed, even if the gun itself will fail after firing a few rounds, can still be a cause of concern. Mainly in that for starters you can't trace who owned a gun if it was printed out. Also if the technology gets better next thing you know you could arm an small army from a single 3D printer.
Also how much does it cost to make a printed gun? A printed gun that can fire even once is still just as much a threat as a real gun.

It's as much a gun as the wooden handguard on say a FN-FAL.

According to Forbes, where the first article on this was published, 15 of the 16 components that make up the firearm come from a 3D printer, the final part is a simple nail which is used as the firing pin.
I think your argument in invalid because without the 15 3D printed components, which you claim to be simply the shell or a wooden stock, all you have in your hand is a pin.

#66My bad I was thinking of that AR-15 deal.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... ZRUpmMIQy8)
Even still the argument is retarded.
when you could make something like this in high quantities in the simplest of workshops.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP-45_Liberator)

Re: Gun Control In The U.S.A.
#67Well there is a difference.
The FP-45 had to be made in a factory, or workshop.
A 3D Printed gun could eventually be made with near minimal effort.
Currently the 3D printed gun costs a lot to make, both getting a specially made printer and the other needed parts. But still the way technology changes printing a gun out could be cheaper then chips.

Re: Gun Control In The U.S.A.
#70I should point out the weapons you are showing are no longer in production and seemingly are now more of a collectors item.
