We shoot a few 3D printed 12 gauge slugs (bullets)

Well, since Obama just shut down the last lead smelting plant, we’ll need something to defend ourselves. These 3-D printers may undermine the government’s plans.
If it could print 2 Dimensional bullets, we’d have a whole new genre of Science Fiction war films and video games!
The rest of us, knowing that lead bullets pre-dated the invention of firearms by more than 1000 years, and pre-dated the invention of the computer by closer to 2000 years....
More like 2000...
lol
I'd like 4th Dimensional bullets,the enemy would never know where they're coming from!
Or a 5th dimensional bullet, and they couldn’t tell when it came from...
*Or a 5th dimensional bullet, and they couldnt tell when it came from...*
And the bullet would make a noise that sounds like the “Age of Aquarius” song
No, but maybe from...
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
I’d like some 4-D bullets as well.
Rotate them just so, and they look and feel like pennies. Rotate them back when you need to use them.
When they learn how to print cartridges, including propellant and primers, lemme know.
In fact, why isn’t some young John Moses Browning not working on a really good printable assault rifle together with printable magazine and printable electrically fired caseless ammo? I am thinking a more-advanced version of the P-90...
Everybody should have one!
Just think if you could make them just by a magical transformation from liquid matter to solid, with no computer or electronic control?!
tungsten core .22s are fine with me. know who i’ll be saving them up for.
You watch: these morons will be clamoring soon for a LAW to BAN printed plastic cylinders soon!
You watch: they will say that if these were smuggled onto a plane, it would shoot the plane down!
Oh, the STUPID in this country! It hurts!
I remember seeing article in a magazine with a photo of a lead bullet designed to be thrown from a sling.
Engraved in the bullet were the words in the original language that said...”Take That!”
Vernon Speer started his company by making bullets from lead wire and spend .22 LR brass. You can still buy tools to do that.
John Nosler invented the Partition bullet on a shop lathe.
People have been casting lead bullets for over a century. Lead will not just disappear.
I’m not sure where you get the idea that “solid copper projectiles which are already known to be superior to lead core projectiles in every way that matters.”
