A cheap clock then? Probably lousy at keeping time too.

You're not going to be able to print with those kind of plastics.

Do you suppose the AFP popped down the road to the ANU to borrow a 3D
printer, or do you think they wasted tens of thousands buying one just
to perform their little experiment?

[F Murtz]

It was all aimed at frightening the populace into not trying it,
they got on to talkback with it

[Jasen Betts]

The "gun" is made of ABS, you can print that on a $1000 printer like
"reprap".

They cost less than $2000 not much over $1000

They may have been trying to encourage the crims to

Or there is a reason why guns have been made out of steel rather than

The KIT's costs that, you really think they could build one even IF you
don't factor in the cost of their wages while doing so?

Why all the fuss over a plastic gun anyway? You can buy a lathe for less than the

Exactly, but does require some skill. And it seems the big issue is the
metal detectors may not detct it, but personally I would think plastic
bullets might be an even bigger danger to the user than a plastic gun! Seems
to me like the shooter may be in as much, or more danger than the target :-)

Trevor.

[atec77]

Because the printer requires no skill , makes an almost undetectable
weapon and one shot is all it takes

It is all academic as I doubt it will ever be used for nefarious
purposes (at least until better materials are developed)it is just a bit
of fun.

[atec77]

Correct , but it is the thin edge , I have more interest in printing
body parts like cartilage and bone

No skill?
I doubt that, you still have to put the right bits together correctly etc. The first test shot
could be the last for the gun and the shooter.

And though the weapon may be plastic, won't it still stand out like
dogs balls in a body scanner 'coz its full of organic compounds?

Likely, or you might just lose a hand if you're lucky :-)

Put it in with hand luggage which goes thru X-ray scanner. The question of
what to do with the bullets is more tricky though.
