3-D printed guns and ammo are interesting novelties, but at least in America we have no practical need for them. There are already millions of high-quality, factory-produced firearms circulating among private citizens in this country, and more can still be bought right off the shelf. Should we ever give these up in a mass confiscation without a fight to the death, then we would prove ourselves to be loathsome cowards; in that case, our freedom couldn't be salvaged even by the ability to 3-D print belt-fed machine guns and and an endless supply of ammo. If people don't have the guts to defend their rights when they have full possession of factory-produced weapons, then they won't have the guts to defend their rights using homemade weapons, either.

It ain't home made ammo until you can 'print' powder and primers.
I was thinking more along the lines of the 7.62 PZAM for this little gem.
