Presenting to you the World's First Condom Powered Handgun
Designer and maker James R. Patrick has tried his hand at developing a 3D printed gun. Aside from the firing pin, which is a roofing nail, and the spring system, which he designed as made from rubber bands, the entire piece is 3D printed. The folks at FOSSCAD were intrigued by the idea and as part of testing it, substituted condoms for the rubber bands. It appears to be equally effective and a whole heck of a lot more entertaining. Read more about the condom-powered 3D printed gun in the full story: http://3dprint.com/66522/3d-printed-condom-hand-gun/
Below is the photo of Patrick's design, the Songbird gun:

Oh great, another printable handgun.
And one even a complete idiot could make. Yep that's what the world needs :-)
So is this still illegal in some american states ?
And no I won't be dowloading these files either :-)
Despite the subject, it's a very neat design.

I am sure the Kalifornia is already drafting legislation to limit the size of the condom used to power it. "If we can save just one child, its worth it." seems to be the prevailing wind thees days.

It is perfectly legal as long as they are not sold. I am all for it. A lot of people make there own. It's a hobby just like anything else.

So you can make and carry an unregistered handgun and as long as you don't sell it - that's legal ?
Wow.

This is a single shot firearm. Before 3d printing, these were called zip guns. a rubber band, a metal tube, and a nail is all the bare parts you need. and since you are using solid metal tube you don't have to limit yourself to .22 rounds like this firearm. Having a device to fire bullets that "even a complete idiot could make" is not a new thing.

Cosmetically speaking this is a huge leap from the original liberator pistol. This is one Id actually like to print. I would probably replace the condom with something else though...
Ender 3v2 poor printing quality
