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?

    Can these drones be 3D printed?

    Drones can be 3D printed but only Conservitards think 3D printing could be of any military use. [3dprintingindustry.com] First thing Republicans think of with 3D printing is suppression. [armourersbench.com]

    As someone on the morally and intellectually superior left, I want to 3d print a robot. [metal-am.com]

    What was that company a couple of days ago, who had been working on something-lethal shooting attack drones, but shut the whole thing down, when their entire ethics committee quit?
