[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XoG Suppressor I reiterate: [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XoG Suppressor I hate article titles like this, they're very misleading. The "gun" that's been 3D printed is not a gun, but a legal gun. The only thing printed was the plastic lower receiver, which is the legal definition of a "gun". For this to actually be used as a weapon would require a [b]metal[/b] barrel and [b]upper receiver[/b], which cannot be 3D printed. As far as the "gun control" side of things go, people have been able to manufacture their own weapons for a long time with CNC machines, which can make [b]metal[/b] parts. [/quote] There is no 3D printable gun. There is a 3D printable lower receiver. The lower receiver is useless without a metal barrel and metal upper receiver which cannot be 3d printed. CNC machines have existed for a long time, and are capable of making every part of a weapon (out of metals), and as you can see there isn't currently a problem with CNC machined guns flooding the streets. People are afraid of things they don't understand, and more so things they misunderstand. [/quote] Hey, I just read the OP, how was I supposed to know? :P I figured it was the case, but perhaps there will be a plastic printable gun in the future, or even one made with different materials.
