Impressive, but I'd be scared to shoot a gun made out of plastic.

I'll be more interested when they find out how to print bullets. Till then they don't change much in the countries with outlawed guns.

Yes, exact dimensions and what they're made out of couldn't possibly be found anywhere Straight

I mean there is no place you could look this info up along with exact directions on how they're assembled Lol, also it's not like people in huts in Afghanistan make their own AKs or anything just by carving wood and blacksmithing

As advanced a weapon people think the Assault Rifle is compared to all the other stuff humanity has been using for the past 10 millennia it is kind of disconcerting that the most popular model could be made in the same smiths that produced those first swords. Probably why it's so popular. Straight

Casting or swaging bullets is dead simple.
Casting requires a mold (which can literally be made of sand, if you care to do a little post-molding cleanup, or can be machined (by hand!) out of brass), and some lead which can be melted in a tin can over a small campfire or BBQ grill. Lead can be optained from wheel-balancing weights or hobby shops (used in ballasting RC boats and such).

There are any number of potential propellants, including black powder and white (or 'red') powder. All easily assembled in any shed or even on the dining room table.

*Primers* are the difficulty, but even that can be overcome at home.

Coming at this from a disadvantage, we don't have guns here any more, as awesome as they are.

Some muppet went around shooting a school and they were all taken away... least it stopped that from happening again I suppose.

Still hoping to get to use them next year in the UOTC Twisted

Been reading the news over here, the BBC are having kittens over it, portraying the developers as borderline psychopaths ect.

Because in BBCland, who else would want to own a gun?

I fail at writing in redneckish.

Also at understanding redneck. In redneck land (which can be anywhere, really), old rifles are objects of veneration. Beware the old man with a battered 19th century 28-guage shotgun with a nail holding the stock together when he shows up for the sporting clays match. You aren't winning anything that day - and neither is anyone else. He's going to take that battered old piece and sweep all categories he enters.

Where the downloadable gun becomes a player is in inner cities, where it's easy to find excuses to disarm the public AND the necessary social, political, and law-enforcement structure exists to try to carry disarmament out.

Disarmament is a civil rights issue - minorities are the easiest to disarm, because they're the most divorced from the structures of power. Ethnic groups with better access to the structures of power have the ability to contest removal of their power without resorting to revolution. Ethnic groups which do NOT have access to power are going to find the ability to covertly acquire power very attractive.

Because clearly NO ONE has designed pump parts for poor countries - And everywhere you go in poor countries you can find 3-D printers and materials robust enough to withstand the kinds of wear and tear pumps undergo.

If you're scared of Nerf guns, then maybe you should be playing Hello Kitty Online instead?

I think the big take-away is that we're one step closer to death by gray goo.

Also, you may want to sell any interests you own in miniatures, dolls, action figures, and/or plastic toys in general. And I think we're going to see legislature that really cracks down on the sales of 3D printers along with severe new IP laws (to prevent people from making their own unlicensed parts, toys, etc..) when bans on 3D printers become too difficult to enforce.

Finally, what's scarier: people printing their own guns, or people printing their own car parts (of indeterminate quality) on the cheap...?

Crossman 760. Theoretically, a five-pump limit. Which limit was violated regularly and willfully. Learned how to extract metalic objects from our own bodies, so parents wouldn't learn what we were doing.
