i agree with you but 3d printer that ready to use is so costly you can buy 3 of iphones or 3 iof weapons in that price.
other cheap 3d printers are not available in india or they print too small.
and other large 3d printers need to assemble to use.
we also need plans and its very tough to render gun parts in any 3d render software and many times they wont printed as we want so lots of filament also spend and some 3d printer software has protection to prevent 3d printing a gun.

3d pen just cost for 5000rs approx and for that we don't need plans we just have to make template on paper which you can make easily with pencil we can easily make grips and other few simple parts easily.

Before you make anything,you need to know whether making those parts is legal. For example, making grips is legal while making firing mechanisms without licence is not.

You also need to know a few basic about firearms. For example, what is a shotgun and a rifle. There is a wealth of information on this site and others like this on the internet. Do educate yourself.

Grips are ok but mags are very difficult to fabricate and to allign in a rifle or handgun ( personal experience with Astra .22 pistol )

Uh, guys?
check out 3DHubs.com/bombay
Upload your 3D files there and get instant quotations for material like ABS, PLA< SLS Nylon, etc.

I've used these guys for a lot of my projects.
