There is a law in the US which states all firearms must set-off metal detectors, hence why the chap who made the pistol inserted 6oz of metal in to it.
I just don't imagine everyone will do so too

Looks like its been pulled - they've been visited by the G-men....
Defense Distributed, the company that made the prototype, stated on Twitter that its project had "gone dark" at the instigation of the government

The issue with that weapon is a rather complex one concerning US gun law. From a purely practical standpoint, the plastic bit just holds the trigger mechanism in place, and is not under stress when the weapon fires (the main weakness of plastic guns). But, my understanding is that the serial number is usually on that bit. Which means you could anonymise any such weapon by just making a new receiver for it out of plastic.
As for the weapon under discussion, it's a silly panic about a useless weapon. Glossing over the fact the US government doesn't understand how the internet works, and thus how successful taking the site down will be, it's not actually hard to make your own weapon, and certainly doesn't need US$10k of printer and plastic to do it.

Ideal, just what we need.
Apparently some stupid yank has helped to develop a weapon you can "print" on a 3D printer.
He calls himself a "crypto anarchist" and says he's "freeing the world"
Well, as anarchy means being able to do what you please without let or hindrance I'm sure he won't mind if I shove his plastic gun up his ar$e.

A TEXAN has invented a plastic gun that can be made with a 3D printer. Texas answer to the gun problem is more guns. They think if everyone is "packing heat" everyone will be equal and the problems solved. Not all Americans share this view.

If you want to use / fire guns, just join the forces, simple as that. Join the infantry and you can fire everything from 9mm sig sauer's to Barrett 50 Cal's / mortars......legally.
Too many blokes with small dicks that think cutting around with a gun makes them the big-man

In the above scenario you start with a block of material and subtract "stuff"
I suspect what What has changed is material (resin) technology coupled with the printer head technology used to deliver it
Now you start with nothing and simply add stuff

I watched a few in action at the GadgetShow last month. They were around £2k but I wasn't that impressed with the finish of the material. Really rough on the surfaces. I'm sure the pro ones are much better and the prices will come down and every home will have one in 10 years.

If everyone can print a printer, everyone can start stockpiling weapons, so the US believe. I'm not sure how you would replicate circuits with it, but I doubt the US worried about that.

as warren has pointed out
over hyped bullsh!t by publicity seeking nutters and helped with a compliant and lazy media
and as I stated before, there is nothing "amazing" about the technology at all
just squirting a white resiny substance out of a hole
my c)ck has been doing that for years -- and even creates humans with it - now that is crazy ****
