Re: 3D Print Gun

Topics

Really not the best use of technology - in fact quite disturbing, I wonder how many terrorist groups and general criminals will look at this as an opportunity.

Let's hope this gets banned, although with 100,000 downloads already is it a case of shutting the door after the horse has bolted ?!?!?

Don't these 3D printer machines cost a fortune? I'm certain that guns are easily available although I understand that these are dodgy because they don't contain metal. They don't show up on detectors.

Scary. Criminals will be better armed than the UK police.

Rejoice! I've just read a warning in t'Grauniad website which suggested that the user is under huge threat. The plastic isn't strong enough to withstand ballistic shock and can shatter sending shards through the user. I do wish that would happen with all Illegally held firearms.

Let's hope that the risks put lots of people off even thinking about these things.
