3D printed gun fires six shots and then falls apart

Thats still a push to perfection alone. it firing shots PERIOD is a huge statement. its basically like one of those guns in the borderlands game made by a certain brand It shoots a certain amount of round over a period of time then it explodes

I posted on 3d printed guns that can actually be used months ago here before and we all had debates on this subject so this here kinda raises the bar on that old topic now^^

What the hell?  No replies to this at all?  I find this to be fascinating.  I was already interested in hearing about this 3D printer back then.  Anyway, the fact that an actual functioning gun has printed parts is crazy.

Also, looks like Tediore's guns made it into the real world, .

That's friggin hilarious.

Haah, definite Tediore there. I wonder though, what material are they made out of? And heck, this can also spring up more possibilities of illegal / home-made firearms.

most 3d printers use abs plastic, i would assume thats what that 1 was made of

and as usual i have to bring up that this was just the housing of the gun, they still used a cast metal chamber

edit: on the youtube video they say it's "ABS-like Objet photopolymer"
