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

Posted by Soulskill on from the version-three-will-support-all-your-favorite-fonts dept.

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."

    "A very large majority of the population is, by and large, satisfied with the job the government is doing, and while they may disagree with the party currently holding the power, they do not believe that armed resistance is necessary."

    See... there's just this LITTLE flaw in your logic here...

    Maybe lots (not a "majority"... read the recent polls) of people are not too dissatisfied with government right now (not the same as "satisfied" at all... again read the polls). BUT... IF there were military in the streets shoving those people around, you can bet your ass that would change in a heartbeat.

    There are 100 people in this country for every military man, and there is a gun for each one of them. PLUS, you can also bet that most of the military would NOT be out there trying to fight their own people for some tyrannical President. So the odds just get worse from there.

    No, the U.S. military would not have a snowball's chance in Hell against its own citizens. Count on it.
