The group so far claims to have developed two prototype plastic
handguns. The first, called Wiki Weapon type A, is a training gun with no
moving parts. It relies on an electrical solenoid to fire bullets but the rest
of the weapon is 3D printable.The more ambitious Wiki Weapon type B will have
movable parts, but the organisation hopes to refine these to make it possible
to print them on entry-level 3D printers that can be used at home. They promise
that blueprints usable in computer aided design programs will be available to
download from their website 'in the coming weeks. They have already come up
with two blueprints for plastic firearms, but now needs to test the designs to
ensure they are safe to use when printed on less-expensive 3D printers. These
guns will be almost completely plastic, so melting and failing in your hand
will be a concern,' Defense Distributed says. Only
after testing a few dozen designs to failure will we discover the right
limitations to be comfortable rating a Wiki Wep as safe for one use. It adds we
want to minimize negative media about the safety concerns of untested firearms
and the inevitable suggestions that governments should protect us from
ourselves.

it a full banger rating “good” with its exceptional design with an Internet
connection. Anyone in the world could soon have access to a 3D printable gun
through the internet thanks to a U.S. start-up which plans to distribute
schematics for the weapons free of charge. Company Defense Distributed, a
company which wants to extend the U.S. Second Amendment rights to the entire world,
hopes to test prototypes of the printable weapons by the end of the year. This
project could very well change the way we think about gun control and
consumption, Concept weapon the reinforced AR-15 with a lower receiver download ready for printing from a web file from company defense distributed just hang on the wall as its on their

assumption that any and every citizen has near instant access to a firearm
through the Internet? Let’s find out.' Cody Wilson, a spokesman for the
so-called 'Wiki Weapon' project, told Guardian news paper that the
organisation is only waiting on a license to allow them to legally manufacture
firearms in the U.S. A third project allows users to print the regulated part
of an AR-15 sub-machine gun, then build the rest from unregulated parts freely
available in U.S. gun shops. This casting could leave any person peeing as it says “M-16 design allows for select fire”. 
Open source the organization plans to distribute the schematics
for 3D printable guns as files for computer aided design programs which are
compatible with entry-level 3D printers. The researchers behind the Wiki Weapon
project had initially hoped to create and test their prototypes without a
licence, but intense media interest has led to problems which threatened to
derail their progress. The group's account on crowd-funding website Indigogo was in September frozen and nearly $2,000 already raised was returned to donors
and last month the company from which they had planned to lease the equipment
to create their first prototypes repossessed its printer, the Guardian
reported. Two Texas-based companies, whose names are not known, have since
volunteered space and a 3D printer for the Wiki Weapon team to carry out
manufacturing and ballistics testing. The organisation, which began as a loose
online collective, has restructured and registered with the U.S. government to
ensure there are no more legal barriers. I have no interest in going to jail,'
Mr Wilson said. 'I'll do it their way if I need to.
