3D Printer to Make Working Gun

I was just perusing Yahoo! News and came across this interesting (and scary) article about using 3D printers to replicate working guns. While it isn't yet likely that a printer, especially a plastic printer, can create a gun that will actually withstand a firing, I'm curious about metal printers and the capabilities they may have in the future.

  1. Yes they can do this (I just received my 2bot that carves in Foam) and the wood carver could make an exact replica.

    But they could have bought a bb or airgun or paintball gun that would easily do that today.
