On today’s episode of Uncanny Valley, we discuss how WIRED was able to legally 3D-print the same gun allegedly used by Luigi Mangione, and where US law stands on the technology.

    I never understood why they never just bundled a bunch of carbon composite front loader barrels with electric ignition along with a laser pointer. No need for any metal nor 3d printing.

      I really don’t think these would withstand the pressure,tbh. At least as long as you mean 3D printed ones.

        No, just laminated ones. Closed at one end. Easy enough to make or buy. You can even improvise the propellant.
