The World’s First 3D Printed Gun
A pistol partly made from plastic 3D printed parts:
I assembled it first into a .22 pistol … It’s had over 200 rounds of .22 through it so far and runs great! To the best of my knowledge, this is the world’s first 3D printed firearm to actually be tested, but I have a hard time believing that it really is the first (if anyone can point me to earlier work, it would be much appreciated) … No, it did not blow up into a bazillion tiny plastic shards and maim me for life - I am sorry to have disappointed those of you who foretold doom and gloom.
Potentially worrying trend … (link)
well fuck okay chris your prediction is slowly becoming true
this is p.cool
As cool as this is, the fact that word is spreading about it is not necessarily a good thing :\
I’m amused at the people who think this is somehow limited to the US, or who knew about 3D printing and are somehow...
Good to see more of you guys catching up on what’s been going on…
As Cory Doctorow predicted this in Makers.
actually, this is awesome! it really says a lot for how far 3d printing technology has come that you can make bona fide...
