WATCH: The World First Gun That Everyone Can Print online, Shooting Real Buttlets

Liberator - Dawn of the Wiki Weapons
The first 3-D-printed gun has been fired, and the directions to print a gun can be downloaded online by anyone.
(Globalnews) TORONTO -- It's called The Liberator and it's the world's first 3D printed gun. The Liberator is the brain child of law student Cody Wilson's company Defense Distributed in Austin, Texas. The blueprints for the gun were released on his website Defcad.org Monday, ready to download for free and be printed by anyone who has access to a 3D printer.
"Where there's a computer, there'd be a weapon," Wilson told 16×9. "Well, literally where there's a 3D printer."
The gun, smaller than a 9mm, is made almost entirely of plastic, except for a metal firing pin, and could cost about $60 to make. It's capable of firing between eight and nine rounds until the barrel breaks. Not a problem, Wilson said, people can just print another barrel.
Wilson previously printed gun parts, like a lower receiver for the AR-15 and has been working on this project for almost a year.
But he is also quick to point out that this project is political and about access to information. "You know, I don't think you should be armed, right? But I think you should have to choice to be."
There are few rules for what someone can or can not make with 3D printing. According to the National Firearms Act in the United States, it is legal for someone to make their own gun, but to distribute or sell it requires a license.
Wilson received his manufacturing licence from the Bureau for Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) earlier this year, allowing him to distribute his plans online. So far, people from all around the world have downloaded his blue prints.
But many are worried about how the technology will be used. A heated gun debate in the United States and shootings like the one in Newtown, Connecticut have dominated headlines amidst cries for stricter regulations and background checks.
