Post 3D printer company seizes printer from wiki weaponsmith
Quote:
Cody Wilson planned in the coming weeks to make and test a 3D printed pistol. Now those plans have been put on hold as desktop-manufacturing company Stratasys pulled the lease on a printer rented out for Wiki Weapon, the internet project lead by Wilson and dedicated to sharing open-source blueprints for 3D printed guns. Stratasys even sent a team to seize the printer from Wilson's home.

It's only a matter of time before someone does this.

Though now that someone has thought of it how long before criminals actually experiment with the idea. The police will have a serious problem if they can produce throwaway guns so they can never link crimes to anyone. Still have to print the ammo though. :lol:

You can get ammo in Wal-Mart.

I suspect this idea has passed through the kinds of many.

I am not sure about the US but I think here you have to present your firearms license to be able to buy ammo.
