Interesting 3-D printed 22 LR 'survival pistol'

I don't know that I'd pick this one, but it is always good to see people try new concepts.

It is also good to see 'guns' being able to be made so easily that governments will have a difficult time prohibiting them; too bad ammunition isn't the same... :(

When a Mad Max Dystopia enshrouds the USA, that would be a great option. As it currently is, why flirt with a Federal felony to get a .22 shooter? Especially one that would be inconcealable and likely break down after a few shots. A trip to the hardware store will get you enough parts to make a zip gun that would likely be more useful.

So ugly its cute!

He didnt print the whole gun, just the stock or chassis as he calls it.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

So far it's legal to make your own firearms, as long as they are compliant with the requirements of firearms in general (i.e. can't be 75-caliber rifled full-autos).

I agree with Blaine though, and wouldn't chance it.....unless things were in post-apocalyptic dog-eat-dog mode, where the only 'law' was who was the meanest and deadliest. HOPEFULLY we won't get to that point, although the Dumbascraps seem to really, really want us to go there.

OTOH it is a good thing to see ANYTHING that allows the citizen to keep ahead of the tyrants, because when you look at the big picture and long view, that is really the fundamental dichotomy of mankind and civilization....if we rely on the 'mostly good' philosophy that citizens are mostly good, and given a reliable societal foundation that structures society under a 'rule of law', we do well, whereas if we rely on a 'mostly bad' philosophy that means we need to empower a few 'anointed' with the power to dictate to all others how to run their lives, and change laws arbitrarily to pick 'winners and losers' to fit their fancy, we do poorly.

Although we think of 'leverguns' and other firearms as a rewarding hobby and pastime, the REALITY is that firearms are ALL 'political' (so much for the forumites who void and moan about 'too much politics in the posts'... :roll: ...they can kiss all their cute little hobby-firearms goodbye if they don't defend ownership of SBR's and AR's and handguns and so on...).

Firearms are pretty much THE thing that keeps civilization civilized, even though the simple-minded and low-information voters whose world-view has a horizon limited by Disney movies and CNN would be shocked at the concept that guns could be 'good'...

printing doesn't matter to people who hate free speech. besides, there are free dimensioned drawings of firearms ranging from 22 cal to 12Ga for the shade tree mechanic to make. it's no secret.

but to the point, isn't everything that's printed free speech?
