Everything (except humans) is getting faster and cheaper at an exponential rate. Human brains think linear. You have to push to think of progress exponentially. ;)

Yes, but it is worthwhile to note that the easiest guns to make are blowback submachineguns. You are not legally allowed to make those without a proper permit.

I have seen AR lowers that were made out of plastic. Looked like the trigger group was also plastic. The upper would still have to have a steel barrel.

We’re not there yet, but this technology promised to open some serious door soon. I have been amazed at the commercial applications for it so far.

New Frontier makes a really good carbon fiber (plastic if you like) lower. I use them and have zero issues with them.

Even the precision machining of metal objects will pass into history.Ive been telling my dad this for years - he owns a machine shop - no desire to upgrade - were running machines from the 40's (Davenport multi spindle)....the jackass was told 15 yrs ago which way the technology was headed - but he still runs a 1970's manufacturing model & business - I gave up caring years ago as a result.....a shame since the co was established in '39
