    From my cold dead hands.

    This referred (I think) to the plastic printed gun of yore.

    I assume this since the original article is long gone.

    And, 4 years later, that would have been a bloody good idea.

    I rather thought the cold dead hands bit was somewhat of a giveaway, however, if not, I apologise.

    Now, go ahead, make my day.

    Stone me, it's a .380.

    Ah, but the Evil Govermint is attempting to Take All Their Guns Away!

    So you need to be able to print your own.

    Well, well, the DM have got in on the act:

    I assume they realise that manufacturing a gun without a licence renders you liable to spending an inordinate amount of time with Bubba.

    The guy writing for ElReg seems a tad unimpressed:

    And I suspect he may have a point.

    Though, speaking of zip guns, one of the funniest CSI ?Miami? stories was about a chap who built a sniper rifle (yeah, right) out of bits of iron pipe & such like.

    It was tremendously accurate too.

      You mean like this

      Printed Gun Porn!


      Actually sounded quiet. Does feel a little "Pandora's box".

          Sod guns, when will I be able to print Kelly LeBrock from the 80's?

            I thought it would be about a reanimated Jimmy Saville zombie.

              My Pro Engineer skills are still pretty decent, I could come up with a model fairly quickly, just need a printer and a bullet.

                  I just wanted to show how cruel time can be.
