A new test print-'n-shoot of that controversial 3D printed gun has not gone quite as planned, with police in Australia printing up a pair of Liberators -- only to see one blow itself to pieces when fired for the first time. Read More >>
Just days after revealing that he was working on a 100-per-cent 3D-printed weapon, Defence Distributed boss and scary sunglasses-wearer Cody Wilson appears to have successfully test-fired the 'Liberator' pistol, a gun made entirely out of plastic. Spiffing. Read More >>

You may remember Cody Wilson from our previous coverage of his group's attempts to 3-D-print parts for AR-15 assault rifles. Well, in a slightly confusing move for someone whose aim is to stick it to the man, he's gone and and acquired a federal firearms license. Read More >>

An American bunch of pro-gun techies has spent the past couple months sinking time and money into a project to create a 'Wiki-weapon', a 3D printed gun that anyone can download and build for themselves. Up until now, they've been a bit of a joke, but their latest efforts seem to be bearing some fruit. And that scares me witless. Read More >>
3D printing failed at making an actual gun. In fact, the test gun pretty much blew up in the poor test guy's face. Since then, the guys behind that megaflop have lowered their sights (pardon the pun) to try and take on the humble magazine -- something they might be able to achieve, if they weren't a bunch of raving blockheads.
