Version 2.0 of 3D-Printed Rifle Successfully Fires 14 Rounds

coolnumbr12 writes "The world's first 3D-printed rifle, named 'The Grizzly' after Canadian-built tanks used in World War II, was fired in June, but the first shot fractured the barrel receiver. The creator, a Canadian man who simply goes by 'Matthew,' refined his design and posted a video Friday on YouTube of Grizzly 2.0 successfully firing 3 rounds of Winchester bullets. The video description says the Grizzly 2.0 fired 14 rounds before it cracked. The new rifle was also safe enough for Matthew to fire it by hand rather than the string system used in the first test."

    Is that anything like the "child body count from creating gun-free zones in which only criminals have guns"?

    You're saying that you want to be killed by a torrent of really bad troll posts? That's what I'm getting from this.

    No, there's going to be a story every time a 3D printer prints something.
