More on "The Liberator", the 3D printed gun. Pluss a video and a poll.

"Does it worry you that a gun can be made with a 3-D printer?"

Go get em boys.

I'm very worried. I'm worried i won't be able to get one before they ban it

I voted no (of course). I think it's innovative and gives me ideas.

 

[Younggun]

I don't think they will ever be able to make one that fires accurately without a steel barrel.

Or one that will last as long. They just made it to say they could. Cool idea though. Just goes to show how weapons can be made out of just about anything.

Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia will be an issue.

Nice, forgot about that law. Good find.

Just don't take it out in public

Not by their model. Says they got a non functional 6oz block of steel in it to make it detectable.

If you can put yourself in the year when that law came out they were worried about Glocks that had just hit the market big time.

Everyone was talking about this "tupperware" gun. Ya, they'd been manufactured from the early 80s but that year they really started to hit the market.

I'd been reading about them in the gun rags, and they were on the news due to this law, but the first one I accually saw was on the hip of a DEA agent that summer. "That a glock?" I asked "Yep, model 17" He said "Aren't you worried it'll fall apart?" I asked.

That wasn't the first time he'd been asked that and I got a very defensive explanation of what a polymer was.

Guess who signed that bill into law in 1988 as president?

I don't know how you can ever make this illegal or "undetectable." You have to use metal parts on a firearm, you can't get around that. A 3D printer is not going to be able to fabricate those.

 

[Younggun]

This one has no metal parts except the useless block.

That's why the accuracy sucks and the gun doesn't last long.

I might be over simplifying this, but .... wouldn't the ammunition be easily detectable? A gun is nothing but a brick without something to fire from it.

 

[Acera]

It may serve the same purpose at the original, a gun to get another, better gun with.

 

[Barry Green]

This one has no metal parts except the useless block.

Not true. The firing pin is metal.

As I read the law the block alone isn't enough. The need to make it detectable as a gun not just a small metal block.

 

[Younggun]

Not true. The firing pin is metal.

Yup, I forgot that part.
