3D guns

[kaiuk]

Parts of a 3D gun have been found along with a 3D printer (in the UK). This is significant because owning a gun in the UK is illegal, but when the blueprint comes out, anyone with a 3D printer can get one. No biggie in the states where everyone has a machine gun stored in the basement :jk

But in Britain, what will happen when plastic guns become widespread, can they do anything about it?

I think you guys are going to be in for a rude awakening.

Saturday afternoon shoot in the back yard. 3D guns...who cares:24:



A gun is nothing more than a tool designed to kill that should be treated with the utmost respect. That said, although it's (gun) a tool designed to kill, you can do more with it than just what it's designed for. A general carving knife is nothing more than a tool designed to slice meat, but can also be used to kill. A car is a tool designed to get to point B from point A, but can be also used to kill. A baseball bat is a tool designed to hit baseballs...the list is endless.

Pretty scary, check this documentary out by the way, very fitting.

What they found in the UK were actually spare parts of the printer, not from a 3d-printed gun: http://www.newstatesman.com/future-...eized-manchester-actually-spare-printer-parts. Despite what the video above might say, I still think we're quite some time away from completely 3d-printed guns. I can see parts of a gun being printed, like the clips or magazines (or whatever the thing that holds the bullets is called, I'm no gun expert).
