if its the same gun I studied before, It doesn't print the barrel, that was purchased, it just prints the reciver and grip and action. I was not sure wether it printed a bolt or breechblock.

The claim was it shot just fine. 22 rounds dont put a whole lot of stress on a construction.

I thought the most interesting application might be for printing suicide guns - those could be all plastic - just get a shell, print the gun, load it, and off to oblivion you go.

you could always buy a pipe nipple and use that as a barrel - basically a 3D print assisted zip gun.
