Sounds fun but in California it would be classified as a “zip gun” which is illegal (who would have thought?). The plastic AR-15 lower would work the best as it doesn’t have to deal with any stress (that’s all in the upper receiver which isn’t considered a gun by the ATF, only the lower). Still wouldn’t stand up to too much use but would do in a pinch.
The reality is that neither will do you much good if you can’t get bullets and you can’t practice with it. If guns are made illegal what are you going to do? Most likely hide them or bury them. Ask the Scott’s how much good that does (they still find claymore’s in roof thatching every once in a while by the way).
Without some kind of organized resistance there is no resistance and just like in the old CCCP the police (and their informants) are everywhere. This is why modern police states typically do not fall until they have economically collapsed, because as long as they have money to pay for the thugs (police in this case) to keep on beating down the population the lid will stay on the pressure cooker. As went the Soviet Union so will go the USSA, but what comes after may not be any better and could be a lot worse than what comes before.
This printing a gun crap is just ridiculous. Printing the plastic parts is not printing the gun. You could whittle the plastic bits from wood - who cares. Try printing the 4140 steel parts, you useless geeks. Have we reached a univeral retardedness or what?
the plastic lower receiver does not have
look exactly like its metal counterpart.
is there some reason that the part can’t be beefed up
where needed, to make it usable?
Print me a lead bullet and some gunpowder you complete fools. I’m done with this geewhiz print a gun crap.
What is the best way to invest in 3-D gun printing, to keep the technology going?
