There are a couple fairly recent designs for 3D printed guns that are useful weapons, certainly better than the pipe-wood-and-nail arrangement. For example, the Washbear PM522 and the Liberator 12K shotgun.

But as another poster pointed out, ammunition is a completely different matter and is really the gating factor in all of this.

You're right, I was hyperbolizing somewhat, and I honestly hadn't looked into either of those designs closely before. The Liberator12K looks like it uses a steel barrel, which makes sense. I'm surprised the PM522 works as well as it does but I guess if any fully plastic design is going to work halfway decently, it would be a .22 Revolver.

To be clear, there are two versions of the PM522; one of them has hardened steel liners for the chambers. That’s the one I’d trust.
