We will see a lot more of this sort of thing as time goes on. I would say it's only a matter of time before some enterprising person starts making homemade pistols for naughty people.

that's already been done in Ch-Ch, converting blank firing replicas to fire live rounds....doubt they were safe, reliable or even accurate but it was being done and being sold to gangs

Most times they only fire a single shot and are done. But that can be enough.

Here is a link to an older story with a picture of said 3d printed gun https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/gang-m...FDYPVFLNELYIA/

Shit, the barrel would have dropped really fast, semi auto my arse

I’ve got a buck in my pocket that says it will largely involve gang members and so again I say to the Minister of Police and the Police Commissioner, you know who they are and you know where they are so just for one afternoon take all of the Police off sitting on the side of the road with their speed detectors and go and hassle the shit out of these pricks with patches on their backs.

I'm quite surprised we haven't seen the gangs using slam guns

why would they when they have access to readily available supply of better options

they dont need to....they can import real ones with relative ease....if container loads of drugs get in...chances are more than high that guns do too....and they wont be single barrel break open types either..

a friend said he had a 3d printer that could make a gun..........................i've had a canon printer for years

Let's face it. I seriously doubt the majority of people who would want to make their own firearm for illegal purposes, wouldn't be worried about a high-quality firearm with a rifled barrel.
If they wanted to make something they could copy a Sten gun and make it out of pipe and round bar. it would be cheaper to buy a lathe and small drill mill and do that than buying a good quality 3d printer. At least they could be used for other things.
