doubt there's any 3d printing capable of printing a barrel that will work

but the rest, sure..

Just saw one of those crime investigation TV shows about that; the pressure-limited parts might be good for one shot. "Perfect" for assassins etc.- use, then toss, untraceable if you wear gloves.

Total TV fiction IMO.

Now that we have 3D printing, is someone developing 3D ERASING ?

Then you could have perfect destruction of evidence >:-} ...Jim Thompson

you could probably print something that works for one shot, but it'll be 50/50 if it is the shooter or the shootee that gets hurt ;)

Just proves that JanTard knows nothing about 3D printing. It is quite capable of thousandth inch tolerance work. Quite enough to 'print' a gun barrel.

As far as making it work, one would have to press fit it into a ceramic tube (for stealth)

Each 'barrel' would only be good for a single shot as it would get galled to destruction on the first firing.

I have some pretty advanced ideas for guns, actually. ballistics has been one of my lifelong hobbies.

The science of ballistics, not so much actual gun technology.

I like watching the 'Punk-a-pults' fire. There are some pretty advanced designs going on for something that is just a hobby.

They already had a handle that lasted 7 shots... I could imagine a carbon nozzle heated to steel melting point absorbing steel wire.... Just a matter of time? Are not welds made that way 100%? When I was a kid (confession) I used the outside shaft of a double pot as barrel in an experiment.. It worked (and I am still around, never found the 'bullet' though...) So that is just a minor problem...

It is in orbit, international space station had to change altitude to avoid it.

wire....

barrel in an experiment..

People have done extrusion-type rapid prototyping with steel. The problem is horrible warping due to the residual stress. 3D printing cores for investment casting is one approach that works.

OK. Done. I've printed my gun.

Now, the ammunition...

Ob boy! I can just imagine what *you'd* come up with. I bet it'd look like this:

Let's see you print some ammo for it...
