That applies in the US. In the UK £1000 cannot buy a gun but it will buy you a 3d printer however.
As for muzzle velocity check out some of the videos of these guns. Sure it may not equate to a high end pistol but it beats the shit out of no gun at all.
And if you're capable of making the ammunition, then you're also capable of realizing you don't need to 3D print anything, since you can fire a round off using thick-walled pipe and a nail.
Yet at the end of the day it will be just as illegal and get you just as arrested when it invariably gets discovered on your person.
In the UK, you could go down to the hardware store, pick up some pipes, plumbing fixtures and other assorted supplies for well less than £50, and make yourself a shotgun that would be far more reliable and effective than those plastic guns. With a smartphone that can watch youtube videos, you can even find teenagers in Appalachia that will walk you through the process, step by step.
Presumably the UK does not currently have an epedemic of gangbangers going to hardware stores to build shotguns, so why should more expensive, less effective 3d printers be a concern?
i dont think they will be a concern at all. my point was solely that the effect will be greater and of more use in countries where gun laws are more restrictive.

Where are you going to buy the ammunition?
