I just don't understand the appeal. As far as firearms go, the last thing I want is one that can not be relied upon. I get that solving technical challenges is fun but in this case, to what end? To make practical home-built firearms? Boys in Afghanistan are making practical ak-47's with little more than a file, scrap and tenacity. If you want to build a firearm (semi-auto) at home in the US it isn't even illegal.

If you want to build a firearm (semi-auto) at home in the US it isn't even illegal. Incorrect. The only limitation is you can't make an NFA weapon (automatic, etc) or build it out of more than 10 imported parts. "Firearms may be lawfully made by persons who do not hold a manufacturer’s license under the GCA provided they are not for sale or distribution and the maker is not prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms.

  So you are disputing that it's not illegal? Or something?
