"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
