I understand the intent, but feel that there are so many other loopholes that put much worse weapons on the street than a printer. Besides, my prints can barely sustain normal use, much less a bullet being fired from them. I would think that this is more of a risk to the person holding the gun than who it's pointing at.
Well, not anything (if you actually think that's possible, then I have a challenge for you: make a functioning gun out of cheese), but an average hardware store should have everything you need to produce something capable of firing a shot.
Usually part of 3D printed guns aren't 3d printed. I'd bet you could make a one-time-use gun out of cheese, but the firing pin and springs would probably have to be made of something else to use a traditional round.
If you go with a gunpowder charge ignited with a flame, it'd be much easier. I'm sure there's even a cheese that could sustain a flame to ignite it with too. You could even make a cheese bullet.
The future of warfare: dairy.
Extremely effective in the upcoming revolt against the dictatorship of the lactose-intolerant. The tolerance of intolerance is intolerance!
The milk wars Patent pending
Sounds like something Mythbusters would've taken on back in the day lol
I reckon you could do it with Himalayan Chhurpi (yak) cheese.
Some people find it so hard they literally can't eat it.
Even if you freeze the cheese to make it more solid ?
