Meet The 'Liberator': Test Firing The World's First Fully 3D Printed Gun

"Alright. One ... two ... "

Before "three" arrives, a shot reverberates across the overcast central Texas landscape. A tall, sandy blond engineer named John has just pulled a twenty-foot length of yellow string tied to a trigger, Which has successfully fired the world's first Entirely 3D-printed gun for the very first time, rocketing a .380 caliber bullet into a berm of dirt and brush prairie.

"f*** 'A!" Yells John, who has asked me not to publish his full name. He hurries over to examine the firearm to bolted to aluminum frame. But the first to get there is Cody Wilson, a square-jawed and stubbled 25 year-old in a polo shirt and baseball cap. John may have pulled the trigger, but the gun is Wilson's brainchild. He's spent more than a year dreaming of its creation, and dubbed it "the Liberator" in an homage to the cheap, one-shot pistols designed to be air-dropped by the Allies over France during its Nazi occupation in World War II

Hmmm, old technology now, oomans. The printers in our lab work with metal, have done for several years...

I was impressed they made a functional barrel out of plastic.

On the news this morning, moves to BAN guns made by 3d printing - love to see how they make THAT work!

Have they not already printed an AR? Fell to bits I believe within a hundred rounds. Dunno if I'd feel safe firing a gun I'd knocked up myself in the office.

It was only the AR upper and lower receiver, but I couldn't agree more, I wouldn't fire it.

I think one of the worries is an untraceable weapon, one of the CSI programs had a .22 disposable printed handgun as an untraceable close quarters assassination weapon. Yeah I know this is all TV land but sometimes fact and fiction do collide.

Maybe they are right and this is a one shot, one job no trace weapon in the hands of the bad guys

Criminals will be there already - no doubt it's a new toy in their illegal machine shops
