3-D Printed Car Is as Strong as Steel, Half the Weight, and Nearing Production

“Download this gun”: 3D-printed semi-automatic fires over 600 rounds

And the Department of Justice says there’s nothing illegal about it, either.

The white portion of this AR-15, known as the “lower,” was manufactured using 3D printing.

The lower, or “lower receiver” part of a firearm, is the crucial part that contains all of the gun’s operating parts, including the trigger group and the magazine port. (Under American law, the lower is what’s defined as the firearm itself.) The AR is designed to be modular, meaning it can receive different types of “uppers” (barrels) as well as different-sized magazines.

“This is the first publicly printed AR lower demonstrated to withstand a large volume of .223 without structural degradation or failure,” Wilson wrote on Wednesday. “The actual count was 660+ on day 1 with the SLA lower. The test ended when we ran out of ammunition, but this lower could easily withstand 1,000 rounds.”

The computer and the internet changed the paradigm of information transfer and control of the news. This has the power to challenge the governments control of a citizens access to the weapons necessary to resist that government.

So how, exactly, do you create modern smokeless gunpowder?  The other governmental bottleneck to free men and women arming themselves is the ammunition.  That information is out there too.

If you can make both yourself it’s better than buying the finished product and signing the government mandated forms. Complete with a valid address so they know where to go when someone decides it time to disarm the people.
