It appears that the new technology of printing a firearm is still a little ways off. However, I wouldn't consider being able to fire six shots a total failure.
In the past, the history of our most innovative and pioneering firearms, makers and smiths built too heavy and scaled back to perfection. This will most likely be a technology of creeping up on strong enough.

Old news, and typical for NBC they got it wrong.
200 rounds from a printed AR.

Tom,
This is a different version. They are now questioning if the previous report was true or not. Regardless, it shows how important multiple test are in development, and that this is a ways out yet.
