Rick Wilson has - quite sensibly, I thought - been pissing all over the idea of 3D printed guns, since the parts that you care about - barrel, action, etc - have to withstand ungodly pressures and temperatures, and 3D printing doesn’t even make strong plastic things.

Now, matter transporters/replicators - THEY will pose problems.

3D printed guns are ideal for only the worst-case scenario: Someone who wants something “quick and dirty” that will kill a few people and then blow up. They can also make them quite strong; some people make car parts for select applications. I wouldn’t rule out the immense popularity and utility of 3D printed gun components as a black-market industry for people looking to proliferate gun violence.

But let’s be clear - nobody’s gonna be able to 3D print a working AR15, for example. We’re talking zip guns.

IIRC, a year or so ago, a couple guys claimed to have developed a 3D-printable gun. It was single shot and looked like a ray gun from a 1940s SciFi movie, but carved out of soap. I also seem to recall that neither of the inventors was willing to actual try firing it.

They’ve made 3D printed guns that will fire. None of them last very long. Per re: #26 Shiplord Kirel, Friend of Moose and Squirrel, I’m pretty sure there have been injuries from people who have tried, though I didn’t search very hard to find confirmation.

Has anyone looked at the Army Improvised small arms manual? This 3d cad plastic is a more expensive less reliable way to go about making a ghost gun. “Undetectable gun” is right there with invisible F-35 for accuracy. Also see Sten gun. A lot of that could be plastic I suppose. medium.com

I was looking at books, and found this description on Amazon for the book All Seated on the Ground by Connie Willis:

The aliens have landed! The aliens have landed! But instead of shooting death rays, taking over the planet and carrying off Earthwomen, they’ve just been standing there for months on end, glaring like a disapproving relative. And now it’s nearly Christmas, and the commission assigned to establish communications is at their wits’ end. They’ve resorted to taking the aliens to Broncos games, lighting displays, and shopping malls, in the hope they’ll respond to something!

And they do, but in a way nobody ever expected, and Meg, the commission, and an overworked choir director find themselves suddenly caught up in an intergalactic mess involving Christmas carols, scented candles, seventh-grade girls, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Meg’s Aunt Judith, Victoria’s Secret, and Handel’s Messiah.

re: #29 Backwoods_Sleuth

What I think people are afraid of is not the people will be able to 3D print a plastic zip gun. They’re afraid that someone will be able to 3D print something more like a real, working, multishot firearm - the mythical 3D-printed AR15.

I don’t think that’s a realistic worry, for the reasons I mention above.

In some ways, it reminds me of the discussion of invisibility in HHGG - it takes so much energy and expense to make something like a space ship invisible that it ends up making more sense to just not build the ship in the first place. In this case, it would be such a chore to try and 3D-print a working gun that it’d be cheaper to just buy a gun. In the US, anyway.

34
Blind Frog Belly White  Jul 31, 2018 • 3:52:22pm

I could imagine a terrorist with a 3D printer, running off a plastic gun, taking it someplace and shooting a few people, and then it blows up in his hand, leaving him in great pain, but not dead, no gun to defend himself, and no gun to kill himself with.

I suspect this wouldn’t catch on. Kinda like the Underwear Bomber.

AR15s off of a home 3d printer with plastic filament? No

But there are other types of 3D printers that build up and sinter metal powder for industrial use (and are very expensive); people with access to those, I’d be worried about.

The printed “AR-15” is the lower receiver. The only serial numbered part. Upper receivers, barrels, trigger groups can be purchased online/through the mail with no background checks.

Even if they developed a 3-D printer that worked with steel, fabricating a gun layer-by-layer is not going to work.

The Crosley Hotshot was a car that came out in 1947. Its engine block was made of many layers of sheet steel laminated together like a transformer core, then drilled out for cylinders, etc.

Turned out it was like an engine with hundreds of head gaskets—a predictable reliability disaster. Now picture gunpowder exploding in the cylinders instead.

And, unlike the upper receiver, the lower doesn’t have to take any high pressure, it’s just housing the trigger and feed mechanisms and the magazine port, IIRC.

I’d be curious about the structural integrity of something build up like that. Sako had a problem a few years back with poorly heat-treated* rifles that were prone to blowing up, and they know what they’re doing.

Personally, for now at least, I’m going to worry more about the 400,000,000 guns made the old fashioned way, and not so much about the newfangled ones.

Yes. The statement was about printing a complete AR-15 - lower receiver, upper receiver, barrel, the works. 3D printing a lower receiver has been done for years.

the area the lower receiver experiences the most stress is where the buffer tube screws in. And then at the rear takedown pin & forward takedown/pivot pin

One nice thing about the job I had was I got to be around a ton of bad ass Porsches, from pure race only endurance type cars to wild street cars. Even saw a complete restoration of a 356 from rust bucket to classic collector car.

One Columbus rich guy I knew had the 1982 Le Mans 24 Hour race winning car.

My last boss had the American IMSA GT race winning Coca-Cola car. Sold it for 1.8 million.

Well, that article was a real bag of horse shit.

Local woman sees no reason to better herself and gets mad when people she doesn’t understand take the initiative.

‘The world she’d never wanted to go out and see had instead come to her, and it was here to stay.’

Womp womp.

The city of Rockwall tried to keep the rest of the Metroplex out. Then it rolled right over the city which was unprepared for the wave. We’re perpetually about 3 years behind where we need to be on construction of roads and other things. Their current thing is to bar new apartments more than two stories high.

Central American tend to be more mellow.

I have a friend who grew up in Mexico (she’s about 3 years older than me, and had to make the clay bricks for her house when she was a kid). English is her second language, and she’s the fastest English speaker I know.

Spanish seems to be spoken more quickly than the equivalent English.

Someone fluent in both told me that the speed at which words are said is pretty much the same between natively-spoken English and Spanish. Spanish may have more syllables.

But, yeah. Also, native speaker speaking to native speakers don’t enunciate like high school language teachers do.

Mueller’s focused like a laser on the Trump-Russia connection and shifting to federal prosecutors everything else he comes across. FARA violations with respect to work for Ukraine by Tony Podesta of the Podesta Group, Vin Weber of Mercury Public Affairs and Greg Craig, formerly of Skadden.

Offshoot of the Manafort business.

Right wingers are questioning whether the SDNY will go forward and indict after the referral.

Yeah, I think they will. They’ve got enough to go after the whole lot. And Podesta might cut a deal to avoid prison - and flip on everyone around him, including Manafort (where he was a possible witness).

That also goes to strategery. The referral comes after trial starts, but before Podesta is indicted. It’s an attempt to deftly handle a witness who may be cutting a deal.

Pretty seriously - he was, after all born in the Orange Free State before moving to merry ole England at age 4. He did get bit by a giant Baboon Spider and at one time a young servant, thinking the baby beautiful, took him overnight to his home krall to show him off. Tolkien claimed to never remember either incident and that may well be but I have no doubt that family stories of both incidents played roles in the creation of Shelob and in the Hobbit attitude toward the strange and beautiful yet alien eleven culture.

My friend on Vieques is very rapid. And like mentioned above, she also speaks English very quickly.

I guess that is from a familiarity with both as she lived most of her life in Atlanta, then Ohio when she came to Columbus to go the art college I attended. That’s how we all met. So she is very good at both. And she would go to Puerto Rico often to see family.

But don’t even get her mad when she can use her Spanish. Oh, she can go off. And that is as fast as it gets.

I know it has been said before…but I still hope Trump digital “guru” Brad Parscale gets taken down in all of this. I still think that guy was the big player making the actual Russian election meddling program work in this country.

Everyone wondered why he was said to be getting paid so much back when we first heard about him.

We heard about the computer set-ups he had so a lot of the bots could be seen as coming from American ISPs, etc.

Dude is a practitioner of digital manipulation. He needs to go down or he will just keep going on.

Me too.

Aboard Air Force One, a reporter asks: Why is Eric Trump on this trip? “I don’t know,” White House spokesman responds.

I don’t know why but this really made me laugh…a lot.

OK—since Daniel Dale is on a well-deserved break, who is a good tweeter of these idiot gatherings? I know nobody does it better, but is there anyone who does it even somewhat adequately?

Well, I guess this guy Mark Roberts is a “conservative” because he says so: however, he’s a third-party candidate - from the Independent Party of Oregon: a group whose ideological leanings seem pretty opaque.
Anyway, if I were Mr. Roberts, I wouldn’t be checking out lodgings in DC just yet, the GOP incumbent (the only Republican among Oregon’s five Reps) has been in since 1999, and routinely gets about 70% of the vote.

This is the sort of slander, constantly repeated, that made “liberal” a bad word for both the right and the left. But I consider myself a liberal in many ways, and I hate Nazis. I might be considered a centrist in others, and I hate Nazis.

Failure to be at the extreme ends of the political spectrum is no vice.

Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons is foremost one of the finest young firearms historians out there. Of late he’s been branching out into other aspects of military history. In this video he talks about the battles fought by the Maquis du Vercors in southern France in July 1944, after D-Day but before the allied forces could arrive.

In these days, a reminder of what it takes to stand against a fascist oppression is always of value and it does honor the memory of the people of France who would not surrender.

I also must sadly note that Generalleutnant Pflaum died in 1957 without ever having been tried for his crimes.

Take the 20 minutes to watch the video; it is well worth the time.

My, he has quite a busy week of presidentin’ going on—to be followed by a week of vacation. (He is really costing us a bundle)

…will head to Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on Thursday for another campaign rally, before beginning more than a week of vacation at his private golf resort in Bedminster, N.J.

The yam sure does lurv them rallies.

I noticed this too. Rosenberg is almost comically sober, for him to say this is really a threshold moment.
