Yea so I thought I would share this peace of news with VT, what are your thoughts on it?

[Professional Russian]

Dude i heard about this a month ago when G&A came out with it the guy printed a functioning AR Lower. Right Here as i said a month ago (http://www.gunsandammo.com/2012/08/10/tech-whiz-uses-3d-printer-to-build-own-guns/)

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

Thats crazy cool! But umm I dont wanna spend 20k on just a AR lower. :P I can get the full gun for about 1k but none the less, awesome!

"In other news, 3D Printer sales rose sharply in Syria, Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan".

[dyliwilli123]

Cooolies.

[Mortal Coil]

This is cool, and a little scary. Which is part of why I like this story.

There's no way you could fire a printed gun more than once, if even that, for a LOOOONG time. People give 3D printing technology way too much credit, when all it really does is take a day to make a piece of junk plastic.

[horizonlooker]

I'm just amazed at how technology has evolved. I remember when I was younger and the most sophisticated printer was the one that could print, copy, scan, and fax all in one. Now you can print guns and shit? It's crazy.

[UnknownError]

I doubt it.

[Professional Russian]

I doubt it.

NO it actually happend someone did it.

[Mirage]

Whoa.

This is pretty awesome. I can't believe how advanced 3D printers have become, it just amazes me.

[Professional Russian]

I wouldnt shoot if y life depended on it. if it aint made of metal it will brake alot faster. Until they refine they will probably have constant problems with it.

There is no difference between buying a gun or printing one. Either way you are obtaining a firearm. Not to mention 3D printers use plastic. The average pistol/rifle round when fired produces 45000-50000 puonds of outward pressure. The gun would blow up and not be functionable. Im not worried about this at all.

Its a lower it wouldnt get that pressure only the chamber and barrel get that pressure nothing else does. just those too

I am aware of this, im not an idiot. But a plastic barrel would not work

it says its only a lower *Facepalm*

[Inventor2]

Well then why even make the gun at all? The lowers of a gun are cheep to even buy. I can go online and buy a glock lower for $99

[Inventor2]

Besides the trigger assembly (on polymere frame pistols) most of the lowers of a pistol are polymere plastin and are made in bulk with a mold.

[Professional Russian]

We arent talking pistols we are talking rifles.

[Inventor2]

Same concept. You would still need a barel, trigger assembly, reciver assemble incuding bolt, firing pin+action and other misc. parts

yes i can easily get those shipped to my front from brownells and multiple other places.

[Inventor2]

Yes i know it can, but in the end it will be as much money as a normal rifle. And when your talking polymer, a rifle can be very cheap.


Im done here i dont feel like waisting my time arguing with you. You never stop

[Professional Russian]

Im not argueing you started it. i would rather by a rifel made of metal than wood. I hate plastic guns with a passion thats why i hate Glocks.
