That sounds like a very interesting topic… and a controversial one too. 😉 Everyone with an interest in this topic has his/her own preferences and perspective on the “essentials” for a personal armory. I guess there lies the rub… it’s personal, but I am very interested in the content of this guide and look forward to checking it out. …and to the debate that will probably ensue about the merits and drawbacks with this or that weapon. 😉
One more thought… This guide is or will most likely be aimed at members from the US (and maybe Canada?), but since I am from Europe I wonder how much of the content/recommendations will be suitable for int. members? I assume the focus will be more on the technical than the legal/regulatory side, but still. The laws/regulations for private weapons in most European countries are a bit … constrictive.
It’s nothing short of irresponsible to recommend someone get a 3D printer to build guns. There aren’t any viable designs yet and most consumer grade 3D printing plastics cannot hold up to use.
Josh, would you also have us believe that early adopters of cell phones were irresponsible since they were so massive and battery life was only a few minutes? Early airborne travelers were irresponsible because accident rates were high?
Sure, use of a 3D printer for a firearm is not terribly economical at this point in time, but the technology is advancing at a very high rate. Andreas has the misfortune to live in a location where firearms are difficult to obtain legally. With the continued progression of 3D printing, the day will come very quickly where it will be very easy and safe to print a firearm.
So lets start with what caliber’s , first blush , 22lr , 38/357 , 7.62×39, and 12 gauge. Then firearms , Ruger 22 pistol, and rifle, a smith revolver(s) in 357, an AK for the 7.62, and a remington 870 pump for the 12 gauge.
UPDATE: Building an Armory from Scratch has now been released. Download it here.
