Defense Distributed: Successful test fire of first 3D printed pistol (video)

[Texan Scott]

Pretty soon, DHS will be watching my local Staples ...

"Yes, Inspector... paper clips, a thumb drive, and plastic filament."

"Mon Dieu, Cato! He could be mekking ze macheen gun!"

Wish I cold print ammo.

And there you have it...

If they can't regulate the guns, I imagine ammo will be next. Sure, I can (and do) reuse my brass quite a bit. Sure, I can cast bullets from old tire weights at home (though I don't), and I might even be able to fashion some gun powder if I was more of a chemist (I hear it has been done). But, I'm sure not making primers at home!

Just sayin'

Not trying to sound doom-n-gloom here, but I imagine ammo will be more aggressively attacked in the next dozen years or so. Might want to acquire a decent collection of it by then, if you haven't already.

In the old Soviet Union, people made primers from match heads. There have been articles written on how to do it.

Kind of silly though, This is all Psyops, and our side is winning. A couple of bricks of .22 and you have more ammunition than you could ever survive using by making your own for clandestine ops.

What this is for, and what it excells at, is simply pointing to the obvious truth the gun control types have been hiding from themselves for so many years. Guns are a 16th century technology and are beyond their ability to control.

While its a noble idea, I still do not trust a 3d-printed gun with mostly plastic parts including the barrel. Single shot is basically pointless IMO, but its a start.

The comment on that website makes more sense too..
