Over at the www.freestateproject.org I heard about the free arms project. It plans to design an open source firearm to be distributed over the internet. The idea is that it will be simple and functional. Most importantly anyone should be able to build it.
Here is a cut and past from the post located at http://forum.freestateproject.org/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=4878
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/free-arms/
Received the following forwarded to me by another packin' extropian:

I'll be announcing this more globally soon, but I thought y'all might be interested in seeing a work in progress.
The Zero Aggression Institute is sponsoring the Free Arms Project: a project to produce a patentless, Open Source, Open Hardware personal weapon. The intent is to produce the Linux of firearms: something whose designs can be posted on the Internet, downloaded, and built by anyone with the technical werewithal.
To that end, I've created a Yahoo Group called free-arms (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/free-arms).
So far, I've populated the files and links with those relating to the Gyrojet (simply because I had lots of material from researching last week's column). The Free Arms Project isn't concentrating on a Gyrojet,
mind you -- the intent is to consider any and every possibility.
For the moment, however, the group has lots of fun Gyrojet pictures.
Freedom, Immortality, and the Stars!
