Has anyone actually shot a completely manufactured 3d printed gun? I don’t mean just using some 3d printed parts but the actual gun?

The reporter passed all the security checks, including a metal detector, and got only a few feet away from the prime minister without being accosted. . .

My concern is about the security process, not the 3D gun. Remember when the first Glock was manufactured and the government went apoplectic about the thought that a plastic gun could make it onto an airliner?

A similar plastic gun, made with “classic” manufacturing technology, could have done the same thing.

OTOH, 3D printers could enable a person, subjected to a cavity search at a border or checkpoint, get quick and easy access to a gun on the other side.

3-D Printer Ping!

Political power grows out of the nozzle of a 3-D Printer.

This will give Chuckie Schummer something to get in front of the cameras over.

Does it fire a plastic bullet as well? I’m assuming they just got the plastic gun itself in. If there was a bullet in it I’m assuming it would of had to be a plastic one otherwise they just got the gun in. If the bullets are still made of metal they would of never have gotten so far.
