Every video I’ve seen on this shows only some PARTS of the gun can be printed. And the barrel and firing pin are not among them.

[timlilje]

Please don’t fall into the trap of calling a semiautomatic weapon a Machine Gun.

[MrB]

Barrels and firing pins are not controlled items, though...

3D printers can print with titanium now

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Machnine. Is that like a Tec-9?

[Manta]

Watch the video. Cody shoots semi auto then full auto. Unless he has a very very fast trigger pull

[Brooklyn Attitude]

“3D printers can print with titanium now”

The parts he printed do not need to withstand high pressure so you can make them out of plastic. Barrels are very different and need to be made of high strength steel to withstand 50K psi. If you can do this with titanium you can make a fully functional firearm (or you can just buy a conventionally made steel barrel).

3D printers can print with titanium now

Does this mean I can make my own set of Ronco knives, now?

[demshateGod]

Last time I saw he was able to get six shots before his lower broke. Is he getting more out of them now? Maybe I should watch the video.

[SandRat]

An Full Automatic continues to fire so long as the trigger is held down functioning like a machine gun until all rounds are spent.

This is not the AR-15. The AR-15 is a Semiautomatic, every time the trigger is pulled it fires 1 round.

[Manta]

Dunno, I just stumbled across this video. I’m not really a gun connoisseur.

[Kevmo]

For the 3D printer ping list

[E. Pluribus Unum]

CNC milling machines are getting pretty cheap, too, and it seems to me that being able to fabricate in metal instead of plastic would be reason enough to channel DIY firearm efforts in that direction.

[ClearCase_guy]

Yup. It's sloppy reporting like this that gets the media and the public saying things like "The kid who shot up the school had an AR-15! That's a machine gun!! He was probably firing 300 bullets a minute!!!! We need to make AR-15s, or anything like them completely illegal! Who goes hunting with a machine gun?!"

If the public understood the reality, there would be a lot less anti-gun fervor.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

Dunno, I just stumbled across this video. I’m not really a gun connoisseur.

He 3D printed the 'magazine', not the 'machine gun'

He even says so at the end of the video.

Sigh...

[driftdiver]

I think he’s only printing certain parts as an earlier poster stated. While the technology exists to print with metals from what I’ve read it is only capable of firing a small number (I heard 6) shots before failing.

He’s not printing or using the printed uppers, that is a regular firearm. As I understand firearm laws you can make lowers and other parts all day long legally. In the case of an AR15 the upper is the regulated part which requires a firearm manufacturers license to make.

[demshateGod]

The one where he’s shooting full auto is a normal gun with a printed mag. While that’s significant, they haven’t been able to print a decent lower. It’ll happen but they’re not there yet.

[SandRat]

If the public understood the reality, there would be a lot less anti-gun fervor.

The public is to attached to the Liberl MSC for information to grasp reality.

If it get to a point where we have to BUILD OUR OWN, we’re in big trouble.
