I was just thinking the same thing...

$1 MM printer, plus the specific scrap metal, plus the power to run the printer, plus the machinist to make sure it doesn't blow up on you vs the $599 Walmart special for a weapon.

I don't think this is groundbreaking.

$599 "Wal Mart special"?!!!  My brand new Smith & Wesson M&P .40 "range kit" (3 magazines, weapon & mag holsters, speed loader & cleaning kit) cost $600!

If you want to kill someone and have it be "untraceable", you can go to any bad neighborhood in most any city and buy a stolen "piece" for $100.  Do your crime and drop the gun.  Who needs all this fancy, expensive printing stuff?  THAT'S your "Wal Mart special".

I once read a sci-fi book (can't remember which) in which the killer used a gun loaded not with bullets, but with water encased in a gum residue.  Shot the victim through the mouth and the force of the water alone blew the back of his head off.  No bullet or fragments left behind.  The coroner thought the small piece of gum was what the victim had been chewing at the time.

I'm just trying to picture someone like myself strolling into a bad neighborhood and asking people if I could buy a gun.  haha

I would likely get the bullets first.
