[VIDEO] 3D Print your own gun

Who needs to buy a weapon to go on a rampage? Now you just need to buy the bullets!

And a demo video of it working:



Just need your own 3D printer and away you go!

And am I the only one thinking here... in those movies where they want to get past the metal detector at airports so they have a strange plastic gun? Thinking what I'm thinking?

Scary?
Not really.
Basically a firearm is a simple mechanical device and improvising one is no problem in your average garden shed.

We`ve already had Hollywood giving us the scary fiction of undetectable plastic pistols (Die Hard 2).
A guy was prosecuted, in this country, some years ago for constructing a sub machine gun from blue prints found on the web.
The 3D printing angle to it all is great for all the peripheral parts but I don`t see it working any time soon for a barrel.
Just a point to consider.
This country has some of the strictest gun laws in the world yet anyone can still legally purchase the equipment and raw materials to manufacture ammunition and won`t be commiting an offence until a complete round is produced.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

Porcelain, Glock 7. Very fake. Plot ot a hell of a plot hole. The gun may be made of porcelain but I`ll wager the bullets weren`t
