    I think you’re really underestimating 3d printed guns. There are some alarmingly reliable 3d printed 9mm semi-auto carbines that can be constructed with zero gun parts (source: I built one back when it was still legal in my state, but destroyed the receiver when registration became mandatory)

    You’re correct about ammo, but I’m pretty sure making a bomb without reliable, stable explosive compounds is extremely dangerous

      I have seen 3D guns in action and they have never failed to disappoint.

      Maybe a professional gunsmith can turn cheap extruded plastic into something useful. But then they can just make a real proper gun.

      Sure. Both of these hobbies are of dubious benefit and serious safety issues
