This is the sort of simple "fusion" design we can expect more of. The chamber inserts are simplicity itself.

No need for rifling, as the design is inaccurate beyond 10 meters.

Reasonable that advanced design work is being done overseas, where it is needed the most.

3-D Printer Ping!

Political power grows out of the nozzle of a 3-D Printer.

Wondering if we could "print" about 60 honest to God, conservative U.S. Senators?

And a Speaker of the house...can they print in tan?

Did they ever resolve the issue with the feds trying to shut them down claiming they were violating some obscure law about exporting weapons technology by putting these out onto the internet?

I’m not really into printing a 3D gun myself but I am fascinated by the people who are. One guy does this and another guy improves on it and another guy goes in a different direction. With the aid of a 3D printer you can put your ideas into an actual working model. I think good things will come as these printers are more common and they will undoubtedly improve also.

The comic strip "Brewster Rockit" has had a series of comics this week on 3D printing.

The enemy hacks the 3D printer on the RU Sirius and generates killer robots. Then, the printer "jams". You can imagine what that looks like.

A remote-hacking war ensues, escalating to pies in the face, and finally printing a "bomb". I won't ruin the punch line on that last one.

NASA has tested a rocket engine thrust chamber that was produced by a 3D printer. It worked.

They should call this a "prepper" gun.

The video firing, it looks like it has a nice sting...
