The $7 dollar shotgun, the $10 Pistol... Belt fed automatic shotgun..

All homemade...



&feature=related



People get confused that firearms are simple mechanical devices and not things with feelings, and intent, that can exert supernatural power over it's owner. And as a simple mechanical devices, they are easily made, at home...

Those that think, they can ban guns and make them disappear, are simply wishing out loud...

And you know what they say:

You can wish in one hand and crap in the other, and see which gets filled first....

Or, for the less mechanically inclined, you can print one (or 50) on a 3-D printer. kelly1mm Aug 2012 #3

Quote:
"An American gunsmith has become the first person to construct and shoot a pistol partly made out of plastic, 3D-printed parts. The creator, user HaveBlue from the AR-15 forum, has reportedly fired 200 rounds with his part-plastic pistol without any sign of wear and tear.

HaveBlue’s custom creation is a .22-caliber pistol, formed from a 3D-printed AR-15 (M16) lower receiver, and a normal, commercial upper. In other words, the main body of the gun is plastic, while the chamber — where the bullets are actually struck — is solid metal.

The lower receiver was created using a fairly old school Stratasys 3D printer, using a normal plastic resin. HaveBlue estimates that it cost around $30 of resin to create the lower receiver, but “Makerbots and the other low cost printers exploding onto the market would bring the cost down to perhaps $10.” Commercial, off-the-shelf assault rifle lower receivers are a lot more expensive. If you want to print your own AR-15 lower receiver, HaveBlue has uploaded the schematic to Thingiverse.

HaveBlue tried to use the same lower receiver to make a full-blown .223 AR-15/M16 rifle, but it didn’t work. Funnily enough, he thinks the off-the-shelf parts are causing issues, rather than the 3D-printed part."
