A Working Assault Rifle Made With a 3-D Printer | Popular Science - http://www.popsci.com/technol...
"An amateur gunsmith, operating under the handle of "HaveBlue" (incidentally, "Have Blue" is the codename that was used for the prototype stealth fighter that became the Lockheed F-117), announced recently in online forums that he had successfully printed a serviceable .22 caliber pistol. ¶ Despite predictions of disaster, the pistol worked. It successfully fired 200 rounds in testing. ¶ HaveBlue then decided to push the limits of what was possible and use his printer to make an AR-15 rifle. To do this, he downloaded plans for an AR-15 in the Solidworks file format from a site called CNCGunsmith.com. After some small modifications to the design, he fed about $30 of ABS plastic feedstock into his late-model Stratasys printer. The result was a functional AR-15 rifle. Early testing shows that it works, although it still has some minor feed and extraction problems to be worked out." • #trendtaste#будущее_прекрасно - × × ×
"The headline is an outright lie. He made a lower receiver not the entire weapon. Yet no mention of that fact in the entire article. So much for journalistic integrity. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1... ^Here is a picture of the only component that was printed. A far cry from an actual working .22 pistol. Where do the bullets go John? http://thenextweb.com/shareab... http://www.extremetech.com/extreme..." - alf
"Before you go about locking yourself in your closet, you should know that the only printed part of the gun was the lower receiver. " - alf
^ Понятно же, что как только чуваки разберутся с менее нагруженными частями, вопрос останется только в правильном пласт-керамическом материале для ствола и затвора, и дешёвые стволы из книжек про Меганезию станут реальностью. - × × ×

Имхо кроме материала остается ещё вопрос точности изготовления деталей. - dixi
Для чего-то достаточно смертельного, но нерегулярного использования, высокая точность не нужна. Особенно если заряжать тем же говном, которое использовалось в Брате 2 - 3012
Для неточного и нерегулярного использования (дробовик у порога) можно тупо купить кусок достаточно прочной стальной трубы. Затвор тоже может быть примитивным. А остальное можно напечатать. - 9000
