Thread: Expert says 3D printed guns will not raise major concerns in NZ

If you couldn't legally own a firearm, and absolutely HAD to have one that wasn't a pro manufactured item (ie put yourself in a crim's shoes), would you do a bit of research online, then get a 3D printer and make something that blows your hand off? Or make a zip gun, or maybe a Luty -type machine pistol (which Antonie Dixon for example had made, and used to kill James Te Aute).
