This entire article is largely ‘breathless hype’ - folks have been making their own AKM receivers for years, and the technology is a lot more capable (the resulting firearms use the original military cartridges), a lot more simple (basically folded sheet metal with a few spot welds), AND a lot less expensive, than 3-D printers spitting out synthetic fibers. As JRandomFreeper so astutely observed, there are already many laws on the books covering the manufacture of firearms, whether in your garage, computer room, or elsewhere...
ON EVERY LEVEL
Congrats on your 1000th Thread!
I’m old school. Sticking to my old fashioned, bolt action Italian made Carcano, a family heirloom. It was manufactured in 1937, saw action in Greece, still fires-—AND-— I still have all my fingers. What more could I ask for ?

during WW II wasn’t there something made that literally used a bed spring?
