Remember how the controversial "Liberator" 3D printable gun was censored? The Pirate Bay now control - Polidicks

[QUOTE]A few days after the blueprints for the world’s first printable gun were published online, Defense Distributed has been asked by the State Department to pull them down, citing possible arms trafficking violations. The blueprints, however, are still available on The Pirate Bay and many other file-sharing sites, which adds a 3D chapter to the IP enforcement debate.The Pirate Bay says it welcomes the blueprints and has no intention of taking the files down.[/QUOTE] [HR][/HR] [URL="http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-takes-over-distribution-of-censored-3d-printable-gun-130510/"]TorrentFreak[/URL] [URL="http://thepiratebay.sx/search/DEFCAD/0/99/0"]get yer guns here[/URL] pretty cool but it looks absolutely ridiculous.

Cut one head off...

[QUOTE=Soleeedus;40598537]pretty cool but it looks absolutely ridiculous. I can't imagine it being very reliable either.[/QUOTE] That's not the point, this gun is just a proof of concept, it shows that a piece of plastic from a 3D printer can send a bullet flying without falling apart. This is the first of many 3D printer guns

[QUOTE=Soleeedus;40598537]pretty cool but it looks absolutely ridiculous. I can't imagine it being very reliable either. [/QUOTE] It's not, parts tend to snap, anything more powerful than a .380 causes it to burst, with that barrel it's not very accurate, and of course it's single shot so just about any other weapon will get off at least 5 in the time it takes to load.

Christ it's amazing how far better technology is than say the eighties.

Anybody who creates a blueprint for a printable gun has a sinister motive behind it, and there's no way they can defend it.

Makes you wonder how technology will be 10 years from now. A few years ago we had those "you wouldn't download a car" ads against piracy, now we can just download and print guns.

Also, I get that now that the "evil capitalists" have tried to "censor" this suddenly the liberator is a great idea and the man behind it is a martyr of the proletariat, but I still think the whole idea is just dangerous and idiotic and the man behind it is a lunatic.

The perfect tool to assassinate the president of the 3-d printer company. Just smuggle the bullet into the building.

[QUOTE=Gustafa;40598633]Anybody who creates a blueprint for a printable gun has a sinister motive behind it, and there's no way they can defend it.[/QUOTE] WHOAwhoawhoa, calm down there turbo. The guy behind this 3D printed gun is a utter lunatic, and is more likely to-do more harm than good for both gun owners, hobbyists with 3D printers and so on, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to spew out retarded shit like that.

[QUOTE=Gustafa;40598633]Anybody who creates a blueprint for a printable gun has a sinister motive behind it, and there's no way they can defend it.[/QUOTE] Me and my friends are evil bankrobbers and hitmen.

In still think it's unsafe.

Pirates and guns. Wouldn't be the first time.

[QUOTE=proch;40598956]Yes I would like to shoot a tin can in my enclosed private property backyard, I'm so sorry :([/QUOTE] .308 are still potentially lethal, it's not a BB gun

[QUOTE=Soleeedus;40599117].308 are still potentially lethal, it's not a BB gun[/QUOTE] .380, not .308, big difference. And while they are potentially lethal, they're really weak rounds.

I'm seeing a lot of "3D printed guns are so much less efficient than X" in the many threads dealing with this very issue, but really I just see functional 3D printed guns as a way of proving the precision and possibilities of a 3D printer rather than a traditional weapon.

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;40599148].380, not .308, big difference. And while they are potentially lethal, they're really weak rounds.[/QUOTE] They're like a neutered 9mm, but any bullet is dangerous once fired.

i wonder, how sharp of a blade can you make with a typical mid-range 3d printer?

It being called the "Liberator" keep making me think of Simón Bolívar.

Right about this time a year ago we were all talking about how the future of entertainment is the day when we can sit down in our homes, throw on our specially made 3D glasses, and enjoy fully 3D television, games, and movies!

Just because it has 3D in the name doesn't make it a fad.

If they can print a plastic M14, I'm interested.

Its only a receiver though. Unless you have a bunch of other parts it wouldn't fire.
