First 3D-Printed Rifle Successfully Fires 14 Shots

3D printing is going to revolutionize the manufacturing industry. Consumer products like vases, home decor, kitchen cookware, etc are ok to print. What about weapons ? Should a common man have access to the blue print of a weapon.

This guy Matthew managed to fire 14 shots before the plastic around the barrel cracked. When first testing the rifle, Matthew can be seen using a string to pull the trigger from a distance. Now, he seems confident enough to pull the trigger by hand.

I think there should be laws on availability of blue prints !
