The "Printed" Gun
« on: December 04, 2012, 09:08:02 AM »
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.
