Eight months ago, Cody Wilson set out to create the world’s first entirely 3D-printable handgun.
Now he has.
Early next week, Wilson, a 25-year University of Texas law student and founder of the non-profit group Defense Distributed, plans to release the 3D-printable CAD files for a gun he calls “the Liberator,” pictured in its initial form above. He’s agreed to let me document the process of the gun’s creation, so long as I don’t publish details of its mechanics or its testing until it’s been proven to work reliably and the file has been uploaded to Defense Distributed’s online collection of printable gun blueprints at Defcad.org.

What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

show me some test fires and I will give a big cheer. Right now we have pretty plastic that fits together
Concealed carry?
This means that they’ll go after ammo and reloading supplies even more.
Looks like my stapler (hope it’s got better range).
The Cody wilson docu on Youtube is really good. I recommend it. Right from his office to the manufacturing plant to test firing, it’s an eye opener on what he goes through everyday. And he’s in it totally focused. Even the NYT lib reporter who interviewed him previously sort of agreed to what he’s doing. This is the future.
It can drive a 6D nail
through a 2X4 at 200 yards.
It has a 100 nail magazine.
It requires no license.
And - It's cordless.
Three President’s were shot and killed within the range of your stapler.
See above for something better than a stapler.
and a broken trigger to boot.
Pretty, but so what. A bit of pipe and some plywood...

That’s awesome! (Too bad you can’t get .22LR anywhere for love or money.)
Anyone have some leads on making primers?
” Right now we have pretty plastic that fits together”
Pretty? Thats one UGLY MFer.
Should have made it look exactly like a cell phone.
“Pretty, but so what. A bit of pipe and some plywood...”
A piece of pipe, some duct tape, a 2 x 4, springs and a nail, sold to a gun buyback program for $300. I love it. It would be great to show up at the next buyback with 50 of these.
