Do you think 3d printed firearms are viable?

    Folks I have seen two things related to them and both were fascinating.

    One of my friends and I worked on a 3d printer to build it from scrap to start. Now by him and I, I mean I showed up twice a week and drank and talk to him about it for six hours. He looks like David Coresh of the Branch Davidians, kinda reminds me of him as well, so I was fascinated with seeing this (but have better shit to do than work on this with him)

    He began getting closer to finishing it and began doing test runs, he would do like tiny bowls and vases, which I was given and used to grow tiny succulents (a desert plant with small roots) in, he began progressing, he showed me something his brother lent him and said we need to see if this piece would fit in it. I briefly saw nothing and became very excited, he showed me four other blueprints from thinkofit.com or like thingiverse or some shit like that and my jaw dropped i was like u for real

    3 days later, he texted me and asked me if i wanted ot hang out next week instead of that day, and then told me like 11 days ahead of time.

    He comes over at the prearranged time (He's extremely smart and like professional despite being friends with me) and i asked him what up with it and he said he really doesn't feel comfortable explaining it, we get lunch, go back to his house, i say hi to his nasty 19 year old girlfriend (he's 34) and i ask where teh printer is and he looks me in the eye and says "What printer?" and the blank look told me everything

    i was like damn my niggas the fucking coolest.

    the other one is where I saw my friend buy one for like 100$ on armslist or some shit and he had this big white cube looking thing in his hand, and it was a one shot 9mm, and he fired about six bullets out of it and the sixth one (I got to see this) blew fire out of the side for a flash of a second and he dropped the gun , i'm like 20 feet away with safety glasses on holding a beer yelling "This is awesome" and i kinda thought about the 3d firearms

    this is several years and improvements may have been made

    my friend sustained medium bad burns to the top of his hand from his knuckle to about his thumb and most of the first two (Thumb and first) fingers top.

    I was like wow that was worth 100$

    now they say you can get 300 rounds out of the AR sometimes more before the cracking (that spilled fire into my friends hand from the chamber explosion) renders the gun useless and you gotta go to the library and print another one

    my friends fine btw if anyones concerned the scary wizard friend first mentioned with the 3d printer he never built isn't the same friend that sells drugs and thought it be cool to buy a 3d gun when they were fresh new and after the 5th shot it probably cracked bad, and the sixth sent fire into his right hand.

    He just got a big ass pink patch on his first two fingers to his thumb knuckle, I told him to say he got it the first time he got to finger some pussy.

    I heard they suck because lower receiver needs like machines lathed metal or some shit

    But I mean if this guy can literally kill the president of Japan it can't be THAT hard

    Banning guns might stop criminals and thugs, or lone woofs.

    But what about terrorists? What about lone woofs that make a zip gun or suicide vest from pool cleaning chemicals?
    What about all the rocks and mountains that contain ores to produce these things, gotta crack down on illegal mining

    You got a loicense for that firewood and assault axe sir??

    3D Printed guns are dangerous, useless, and stupid.

    How so?

    Assuming you make it to fit an actual gun barrel.

    From what little you've posted about firearms I know you already know the answer.

    3d printed guns are meant to be used in apllication where disposable guns are desired.

    its not something for collectors and/or 2A enthusiasts.

    1st off to print with material that is even remotely suitable for frames and recivers you need an FDM 3D printer. A decent FDM 3D printer run in the neighborhood of $1200. For that price you can get a really nice pistol like an FN57. Or you could grab two S&W M&P model chambered in a variety of calibers. Or you could get 9 or 10 Hi-Point CF 380s.
