    Sure, especially considering they said fully printed – no pre-made firearm components.

    The FP-45 Liberator pistol and the CIA’s Deer Gun are “real” guns designed for that exact purpose: to kill someone at close range to steal their gun. The first “successful” 3d printed gun was the Defense Distributed Liberator, followed by a plethora of single shot “zip guns” of the same type.

    So … a bunch of 3d printed guns specifically copied from the concept of the FP-45 and Deer Gun.

      I fixed your link. I wouldn’t want people missing out on that “Usage” section.

      Thanks though, I’ve bookmarked it for when people claim that gun restrictions are pointless because of 3D printers.
