It does not take humans long to weaponise any technology !
This opens up a whole new cottage industry !! I pressume a bomb
is next or already has been developed !

In President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address, the commander-in-chief
mentioned how 3-D printing could change the future, and since then the technology
has received a lot more attention. Last year, a gun developer showcased an AR-15
rifle that was made out of several printed parts, but the weapon was only capable
of letting off six shots. RT's Meghan Lopez discusses how all that has changed.

Make a Working GUN using a 3D Printer! 100% Legal. Amature GunSmith Makes an AR-15 Rifle
From pediatric prosthetics to drugs and guitars, 3-D printing is already
revolutionizing the way we use, make and think about a plethora of products.
Now, a firearms enthusiast is claiming to have added yet another thing to the list: a
functional AR-15 rifle, which he made at home using a 3-D printer and gun
blueprints downloaded from the Internet.
Last month, Extreme Tech reported that amateur gunsmith Michael Guslick had
managed to "construct and shoot a pistol partly made out of plastic, 3-D printed parts."
Guslick, an engineer who operates under the moniker 'HaveBlue,' had previously
announced in an online forum that he had successfully fired 200 rounds from his
custom-made, 3-D printed .22 caliber pistol. The pistol was partially made out of
plastic, having been created from a 3-D printed lower receiver and a commercial
upper receiver.
In other words, the main body of the gun was made of plastic and printed at home.
Guslick told The Huffington Post that he had obtained gun blueprints from a website
before using his 3-D printer to print the component. To complete the weapon, he
then combined it with off-the-shelf metal parts.Guslick said that the resulting gun
was a success."Everything ran just as it should, magazine after magazine," Guslick
described in a blog post. "To be honest, it was acting more reliably than a number
of other .22 pistols I've shot."
The 3-D printed AR-15 lower receiver and an earlier 75 percent scale version, which
Guslick said he printed as an initial feasibility testGuslick said he then adapted what
he had created to make an AR-15 -- a semiautomatic rifle.Guslick said that creating
his own rifle -- which incidentally was the same model used by alleged Aurora
gunman James Holmes -- "wasn't that difficult."
The 3-D printed lower receiver assembled into a functioning .22 caliber pistol
However, Guslick said that though early testing of the rifle proved that it worked, it
still had some minor feed and extraction problems that needed to be sorted out,
Popsci notes.Though various news sources have reported that the gun enthusiast's
homemade weapon is the "world's first 3-D printed gun," Guslick was quick to point
out that this is not the case.
"Firearms manufacturers have been doing exactly that for prototyping and testing
for many years, and I'm certain many hobbyists have used 3-D printed gun parts
as well," he told HuffPost.
However, he added that his gun is -- to the best of his knowledge -- the "first 3-D
printed firearm to actually be tested" in a non-commercial setting.News of Guslick's
creation has provoked a number of discussions about gun control laws and the
future of gun use and manufacturing in this country and elsewhere -- with some
commenters saying that 3-D printers could now allow just about anyone to
assemble a completed gun from mail-order parts without government licensing or
registration.Others have pointed out that Guslick only used a 3-D printer to create
one component of the rifle and that an all-plastic, functioning assault weapon is
probably not in our near future.
For his part, Guslick said he's been surprised by all the media attention and insists
that the creation of a 3-D printed firearm is not cause for alarm.
"In the end, 3-D printing an AR-15 lower receiver and assembling it into a
functional gun is unremarkable on a technical level, yet a curious novelty on a legal
level," he said."[And] yes, though such tools are equally available to criminals as
well, I cannot foresee criminals turning to 3-D printing as an avenue to obtain illicit
arms when the black market continues to serve as a far simpler means of
acquisition -- and does not require any level of technical acumen."
Ultimately, Guslick said he hopes his 3-D printed creation does not take away from
the many possibilities that 3-D printing has for our future."3-D printing will change
our perception of mass production, with products being made more economically,
not to mention locally. Similarly, 3-D printing will expand to help redefine
ergonomics as more of the items we use everyday will not just be designed
for 'humans' but for 'individuals,'" he said.tags: 2013, news, 3d, printer,
