I knew this was coming and wouldn’t take long.
Can they print me an AA-12? I need something with more stopping power.
Wait until large numbers of people start individually producing cartridge components.

Springs are cheap.

Excellent, now who can design a simple Liberty Pistol of the Next Generation? Simple single or double barrel construction. One time use like a disposable tool.
And it better not be a wheel gun or an AR with junk.
How about an M14/M1A 20 round mag?

As long as one had the proper sized spring making a 5 round in to a 20 or 30 round mag wouldn’t be hard.
One could even use wood as the lower body of the mag.
When millions of recently armed Americans will have to go up against a superior armed and supplied police state they may need something more than just their numbers and bad breath.
Myself I would think that in the near future we will see people taking a 3D printer to make all the sear parts in the AR that allow a conversion to 3 round burst or full auto.
Though these may be resin parts they can be plugs for molds that in turn can be used for cast metal, or copied for those that have mills or lathes.
Either way the 3D printer will be like giving the Confederate Army AK 47 rifles against single shot rifles of the Union Army.

Can it print powder and primers?
I read a FReeper oldtimer who said he made guns in metal shop in high school. How far we have sunk since then.
