It's Here ? Handgun Game Changer !!!
 

Wiki Weapons Fires First 100% 3D-Printed Handgun ? This sure alters future gun availability debates.

* Defense Distributed's Wiki-Weapons project fired the "Liberator," its .380 handgun that was created completely with a 3D printer.
* The 15 of the 16 parts created using the technology took just 24 hours to print.
* The blueprint for the Liberator has been posted online, free for anyone to download.
* Lawmakers have since renewed calls for bans on 3D printed firearms that could be undetectable by security sensors.

The only part not printed was the firing pin which needs a harder material.

how can this be a good thing for anyone?


last i checked 3d printers cost a lot more than guns do.

It shoots 1 bullet.. so you better be a good aim..

Yes but with one printer, how many guns can you make?

Will there be background checks for printers?

It don't see a positive here anywhere. As 3d printers become cheaper and more advanced the guns will improve as well.

What's next 3d claymore mines? Just add nails and powder?


.

watching it on CNN right now. Scary thought that anyone can download and make it if they have a 3-D printer.

So basically only the bullet would trigger airport security? Or would the mass of plastic also set sensors off?

Been saying this for a year or more...
3D printing makes gun laws obsolete.
The best thy can do s regulate ammunition.
People can make gunpowder but it could be regulated like psticides and other substances
Mechanical objects can all be printed

Reminds me of an episode from The Big Bang Theory :)

Our priorities are all fucked up. Spend money on research to print guns while half the world as nothing to eat or drink.

Fuck Yeah!!!!

This may very well be the absolute worst thing that has ever happened to man-kind.

quote for very sad truth

Imagine what 5 or 6 more years of technology upgrading will produce ?

.

home printed WMDs?

Surely nothing that will help mankind in a positive way :Oh crap

Looks better than your average zip gun.

No kidding. In 5 year's you'll have plastic automatic assault rifles. In 20 years the US will look like Mad Max or Fallout...

3D printing in itself is a great thing. There was many times where I wanted to make something that would be too difficult to fabricate by hand (for instance some sort of blanking plate for something etc). However, when it comes to anyone now being able to print a gun (and of course both the models and printing technology will improve) I would be fucking scared to leave my house, let alone take any sort of public transportation or go anywhere like a mall. This can have far reaching consequences beyond crime.

Staples sells a 3d printer now for 1500.00

i cant wait to have 3d printed food, you just buy flavored paper and it will print the burger!

I just saw this on CNN while I was eating lunch. Kind of scary. Eventually anyone will be able to create a firearm in their own home. When these printers become more advanced... It will be a game changer for sure.

In 1933 this technology could have saved millions of lives.

:1orglaugh Because cost per unit is the turn off? Not that the cost is a factor, how about thinking about one key detail about a printer...it can repeat the process infinitely... :2 cents:

@ OP - wonder if it will ever be possible to print the shells too or a good portion of it.

Obviously more guns is a good thing. Just look at the USA why.

Well, you need to protect your family.

But Americans need to be able to fight the government.

Let me guess. You want to ban swimming pools as well.

Till a rapists enters your house and fucks your ass up.

Once we can print out our own robot overlords everything will be fine.

Well, you can also build a gun by yourself without a 3D printer, so this "news" don't impress me at all. You don't have to be MacGyver to build weapons in your garage.

Exactly, building a gun in your garage is just as easy as pushing a button on your printer.

Many of the murders in my country are done by 1 shot homemade guns. They walk right up to the person and shoot them in the head with it.

Really? Gun possession laws obsolete?

this message is not hidden because you enjoy laughing at francks stupid ass huge ego because he knows it all

people already making make shift stuff out of fire works supplies so a 3d printer isn't even needed for that kind of thing.

ps what is it with fireworks over there?

infinite? really? Can you send me a link to the supply store where you get your printers that don't need ink? Thanks.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Naturally that is what you took from my post. I overstated with *infinite* however I think you have to be able to grasp the concept of a printer.

However if you do not, a printer enables you to make multiple exact copies of whatever it is that it can print (in this case almost any object - case in point - GUN).

I love that you think this printer requires ink.

Probably easier..anyone with a bridgeport in their garage can building a very high quality fully automatic weapon. However, I just ordered makerbot 3-d printer and will try making the gun just to see how accurate it really is.

I could get a lathe and a mill and make a real gun

aren't 3d printers available outside the u.s.?

i think they are,
seems to me this tech would be applicable to areas where it's difficult to obtain a gun, unlike in the usa, where guns are readily & cheaply available to most everyone. if a felon, etc, needs a gun, it's not a problem for them to get one or a dozen in the us.


also, t-minus how long till we read about the first dimwit who prints a gun that blows up in his hand.

:thumbsup

You could get that equipment used far cheaper than what a 3d printer would cost that is good enough to print the gun parts. The 3d printer staples has likely isn't good enough. It looks very cheap to me and the build area doesn't look big enough for things like the AR lower these guys have already released.

Most seem to over look that the printer those guys are using cost them $8k and that was "used" off ebay. The el cheepo printers are just that cheap and many of them can't make the gun parts these guys already have files for.

Meanwhile you can pick up some old used machine shop equipment that has out lived it's professional usage and build a AK or AR15 that can't be traced..

The 3D printing and distribution of design specs makes the issue a more interesting political debate about Government control vs. liberty and the rights of the people, particularly as it pertains to the internet, but the honest truth is you could make super cheap zip guns pretty much since there was such a thing as a hardware store.

I grew up with a machine shop in my garage. I've been thinking of getting a small lathe

That's funny because I am forty-five years old and yet... I haven't been raped yet. Or robbed.

+1 :thumbsup
