This is good. Very good.
So I'll wait here for the other people who kept saying cheap printers can't do this to chime in on this hoax![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
Printing is here, it's going mainstream with these new, cheap versions and they clearly are capable.
Anyone who has used a UPrint saw this coming. It's nothing more than an inkjet printer with a hot glue gun in place of the inkjet head.

There is a shoot coming up in June. Perhaps someone will print one or two Liberators to show off.
When I see a video that includes:This is good. Very good.

- A chronograph reading.
- A target. With holes in it, and the distance.
- The unloading and loading procedure.
I'll start to be impressed. In the meantime the rest of you can keep using car antennas.
This isn't even as good as it's great grandfather the original liberator which could at least be reloaded without a hammer! If 3D printers were in the <$1000 range and a lot more people had them, then this would still be a good "last chance when the <insert country or type of zombie here> invades" gun...one bullet per minute hammer required is better than no bullet at all! What I really want to see is this design printed on one of the high end DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) in aluminum or EBM (electron beam melting) in titanium....if only those machines didn't cost 6 figures

IMO, better off with a C&R muzzle loader...![[rofl2]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/035.gif "ROFL2 [rofl2]")
Yes, but you have to pay for those, you can't print them yet.
This is not about how awesome the gun is. It's about making guns so available beyond the control of ATF that all laws become moot.
Because of the shitty plastic barrel, the velocity is significantly reduced as well.

Thats an interesting point. I never thought of that.
Just to expand a bit. Its not even a C&R. A muzzle loader is not considered to be a firearm by the ATF or most states. (Anyone with MA knowledge on this please chime in)
You can buy a 6 shot muzzle loading revolver through the mail. Load it up and have 6 shots available.
I've actually seen muzzle loading revolvers advocated for long haul truckers because they aren't treated like firearms by most states. And most of those states ban possession of loaded long guns in a MV. So this skirts both sets of laws.
I've fired a few shots from the Ruger Old Army. It was nice. One thing about the ruger. Its built SOLID. And it is all stainless. With some practice, it would make a solid defensive firearm.

Especially if we are talking zombie invasion, I would much prefer a quality crossbow to the liberator.

I'm not suggesting a printed gun is THE wave of the future. But dismissing them as silly is silly. These proofs of concept will eventually become something practical that can be printed on a $500 printer and will last a nominal amount of time. They have their niche.
Old school cap & ball handguns, rifles and shotguns may also have their niche and may be more practical in some ways.

The original Liberator needed a wooden dowel to ram the spent .45ACP case out due to expansion.
They weren't made to tight tolerances, so I would imagine it would depend on which one you got...
The purpose of dropping that gun was nearly as symbolic as the printing of this one. It wasn't exactly an ideal "battle pistol" (if one can even say there is such a thing without laughing)
Interesting thought. This is like a new dawn. Next thing you know, Staples will offer higher end "printers" where you can bring your document to get better quality "output".

I don't know whether to say "Amen." or "Oh my God!". Both might be correct here.

Wouldn't it be easier to find a company who would manufacture lowers that weren't quite lowers yet that could be shipped and sold freely and that would require only some very basic machining to complete?
I wonder at what point a lower becomes a lower
I wonder at what point a lower becomes a lower
Was this a facetious question?
Look up "80% lower" if not.
The ATF decides and the answer is not always exactly the same, but basically, milling out the FCG pocket "is a dead giveaway... dead giveaway... "
You can do it with a basic press and a few bits (along with a jig), but:
a. You can't get that stuff right now either. [sad2]
b. It will cost you something on the order of 2-4x what it costs to buy a completed lower in normal times to do this.
