Comment on How 3-D Printed Guns Evolved Into Serious Weapons in a Year

Comments

Printing 3-D guns is pretty useless unless one can also print 3-D bullets.

(for the record I would be a bit leery of operating a device used to explode gunpowder in a chamber and force a projectile down a tube at high velocity that had been printed from plastic on a hobbyists printer...)

Chris Rock might agree with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZrFVtmRXrw

Making low-quality bullets isn't that hard, nor is reloading brass, but at present, neither can be done with a 3-D printer.

That may not be as hard as it sounds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caseless_ammunition
