"AR-15 30rd Magazine Dowloadable CAD Files"
Edit: Maybe I've been reading too much Charles Stross:
"Mind you, not everything that comes out of a rapid prototyper is good. Here's the Magpul FMG-9 prototype: and here's some more. Is it a flashlight? Is it a submachine gun? Who knows? Here's another baroque weapon that probably started life on a rapid prototyping machine. If reprap-like machines with strong materials turn out to be cheap and easy, then never mind licensing handguns — we're going to have a problem with home-made crew-served weapons. (Reminder: yr. hmbl. crspndnt. lives in a country where, for better or worse, possession of a pistol by anyone who's not in the police or military carries a mandatory 5-year minimum prison sentence. The implications of rapid prototyping machines for this sort of legislative environment probably parallel the effects of peer to peer networking on music industry cartels.)"

- thechut 14y agoDownvoted, why does everyone need to bring up the gun issue when somebody talks about the maker revolution? Big gun manufactures have been making guns for a long time. I don't see how people making themselves matters at all.
- dllthomas 14y agoThe point is the difficulty of enforcing gun control legislation, when a banned 30 round clip can be simply printed in anyone's garage from a easily transferred file. Not entirely germane to the present discussion I think, but not entirely irrelevant either.
