In 2018 It takes less metal to make a gun than it does to make a spear
let that sink in

This is mathematically, clearly, bullshit. Do you mean that guns don't use metal, but some time of filler material or plastic? Also, fuck off back to >>>Zig Forums
Wait 60 years until plastics with the strength of steel are made commonplace and can be printed anywhere with a suitcase printer and "bottles of water"
No-where, no-one, will be safe.
You also need a primer, gunpowder, and springs.
Try to build a spring without a lathe and common steel. I'll wait.

uhm i dont think springs are made with a lathe…… aren't they extruded?
They take a pole and bend it around
...
Aluminium is a metalloid.

no it isn't you stupid nigger
Are you saying we should have more guns? I agrer
How about a 3d gun made with this new element?
Depends on the spear and depends on the gun.
"Plastics with the strength of steel" may never exist.
Furthermore, 3d printing is kind of stupid. It has a LONG ways to go before it can compete with traditional techniques outside of certain (very) niche areas. It may never be a real competitor outside of niche areas.
"Computer people" and "non technical people" like the idea of 3d printing because it fits in with their "desktop world."
Learn about strength of materials, heat treating, machining, casting, forging, and all the other real world techniques to create quality parts from strong materials.
Furthermore, what is the "strength of steel?"
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different combinations of types of steels and different heat treatments and hardening/ softening techniques that can be applied to them.
Indeed, what is "strength?"
Tensile strength? Yield strength? Failure strength? Fatigue resistance? Fracture resistance? Hardness? Toughness? Modulus of elasticity?
"Strength" is not so easily defined as most non-engineers think it is.
This.
There are many ways to make springs.
The most important element, however, is proper composition of the material (usually steel) and proper heat treatment.
Guns are actually very simple machines.
They are not hard to make.
The reason why more people don't make them is because, of course, kike laws and ATF bullshit.
That said, they are not very expensive.
If you live in the USA, then a base-model tier AR-15 variant is only about $600.
Just buy one.
Gimmicks.
Seems ironically authentic, they painted Pentagon's walls with that.
Damn, now they can't fake another plane crash.
You could 3d print receivers with material that dissolves in water so you could have 80 percent receivers that require zero machining.
It's just a matter of legalness.
bait slide thread
you can make a great spear with the right wood and lots of fire

wooden spears can't even compete
Spears don’t run out of ammo
They can break.
