Engineer Creates Special Bullets For 3D Printed Guns

This has led a 25-year old machinist from Pennsylvania, named Michael Crumling, to develop a new type of round, designed specifically for firing from a 3D printed plastic gun. What he did was basically construct a thicker steel shell that can house the typical lead bullet. When fired, this shell acts as a buffer between the actual gunpowder of the round, and the weak plastic of the 3D printed gun. Much like how a motorcycle helmet protects our vulnerable skulls in instances of an accident, by absorbing the majority of the impact when one’s head makes contact with something more dense, the steel shell does the same for the plastic gun.

1. So, now it won't make it through a metal detector.

Not that it would before.

I think the whole concept is lame. A real Terrorist would infiltrate the cleaning crew and have real guns loaded aboard. The original 2 barrel design of the plastic gun was used by Carlos"The Jackal"
