Default Print Your Own Gun?
So why not? Other than maybe not wanting to pick shards of plastic out of your face.

http://news.yahoo.com/you-don-t-brin...ht----yet.html

Why would a 3D-printed gun be appealing? For one, it could potentially be cheap. You can buy a preassembled 3D printer for about $500. A spool of ABS plastic to print with goes for $50. Depending on where you shop, you can buy .38 Special ammunition for 30 cents a round. The plans will undoubted be distributed free like so many MP3s.

In fact, plans for working gun parts already exist. They can be found on a site called Thingiverse and on similar sites, alongside thousands of free plans for toys, jewelry, tools, and design equipment.

No interest?

Then how about rolling your own with instruction from the War Office? The Improvised Munitions Manual.

I haven't followed your links yet; but from what I know, the 3D printed firearm doesn't include things like the barrel [which needs to withstand the high pressures]
