3-D Gun files are available for downloading....
Leading edge technology.
I've dowdloaded the funny looking .22cal Liberator STL files and will load up the printer this weekend. The 3-D printer uses plastic to make stuff; look forward to the cost of metal printers decreasing so the general public can make a wider range of objects capable of higher stresses and loads. Fun Stuff! URL for files: https://defcad.com/ 3-D guns: Untraceable, undetectable and unstoppable? https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/31/us/3d...uns/index.html Not long ago it was the stuff of science fiction, but now US officials and lawmakers are grappling with a new reality -- the ability for citizens to print firearms at home. As of Wednesday, it will be legal to download instructions on how to make a plastic handgun with a 3-D printer. The instructions for the Liberator are being published on a website run by nonprofit Defense Distributed. So what's the controversy all about? What are 3-D-printed guns? The process of 3-D printing uses computer-created digital models to create real-world objects -- everything from simple chess pieces to more complex objects such as functioning clocks. The printers follow the shape of the model by stacking layer upon layer of material to make the objects. Do-it-yourself firearms such as the Liberator have been nicknamed "ghost guns" because they don't have serial numbers and are untraceable. On the Defense Distributed website, people will be able to download plans for building the Liberator as well as files for an AR-15 lower receiver, a complete Beretta M9 handgun and other firearms. Users also will be able to share their own designs for guns, magazines and other accessories. The high-end 3-D printers needed to make such weapons cost thousands of dollars and may be too expensive for most people. But that doesn't ease the concerns of those who think guns made from 3-D printers are a really bad idea. Last edited by Trivers; 07-31-2018 at 10:21 AM.. |

its a lot easier to smuggle a bullet in than a whole gun. I’ve also saw plans for plastic bullets than can travel 25 yards and still penetrate humans.

you look to be new here so go do a search in DC about my gun views. Cliff notes: I am and have always been my whole life a strong supporter of 2nd amendment rights. So go argue with someone else about gun rights.

Printers are available that will mill a gun out of aluminum, and possibly other metals / alloys.

Well, it looks like my printer won't be making anything close to a gun any time soon:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/31/us/3d...tes/index.html I wish they would make up their minds. "No, Yes, No, wait..." |
