Remember the first 3D printed pistol? That's ancient news.

YouTuber 3D Prints "World's First" Rocket Launcher And Fires At Target
3D printing has revolutionized gun-making and has come a long way since the single-shot "The Liberator" pistol was available for download in 2013. Now entire semiautomatic pistol carbines can be entirely printed at home, and weapon-making appears to have graduated to rocket launchers.
Youtuber "Ordnance Lab" (also known as Ordnance Lab LLC and holds a Type 10 FFL) published a video showing what they say is the "world's first 3D printed rocket launcher."
"In this video we team up with D&S Creations, who have developed 3D printed rockets and rocket launchers. We test both a smaller caliber rocket and a larger one, along with a prototype for a shaped charge warhead. This is just the start of our working on 3D printed rockets. We have the launch and detonation figured out, now we need to work on getting the accuracy figured out," Ordnance Lab said in the video's description.

Deterrence Dispensed, the controversial 3D-printed weapons syndicate (co-founded by JStark), has recently released a new project.
This is a 66mm recoilless launcher with shoulder rest attachments, allowing it to convert to a mortar on the go.
Within a decade, 3D printing weapons have evolved from single-shot pistols to semiautomatic pistol carbines to rocket launchers. How is President Biden's ATF going to counter people printing weapons at home? The simple answer is they can't unless they ban printers and polylactic acid (PLA) filament, which we believe will be impossible...
Maybe instead of sending Ukraine another $40 billion of high dollar weapons, we can just send them some 3D printers?

Here comes the helicopter
Second time today
Everybody scatters
And hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered
Only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
I'd make somebody pay
I don't believe in guarded borders
And I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals
Or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors
Of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun
100,000 wait
To fall down from starvation
Or some less humane fate
Cry for Guatemala
With a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice
At least I've got to try
Every time I think about it
Water rises to my eyes
Situation desperate
Echoes of the victims' cry
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
Some son of a bitch would die

If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I'd buy you a house (I would buy you a house)
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I'd buy you furniture for your house (Maybe a nice chesterfield or ottoman)
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I'd buy you a K-Car (A nice reliant automobile)
If I had a million dollars, I'd buy your love
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
If I had a million dollars
I'd be rich
