I think one has been fired considerably more than 8 shots at this point. In canada I believe. The thing looked absolutely absurd as the barrel must have been 6" in diameter.
The simple fact of the matter is people outside the US have 3D printers and the research continues even if the US gov't stifles it with threats internally. Hundreds or thousands of hobbyist engineers are working on this project and sharing their progress openly. I believe the canadian gun had no metal as required by US laws and the design was posted as in Canada a small arms design is not illegal to distribute internationally.. "land of the free and all.."
Makerbot wants to put a 3d printer in every school.
Some predict one in every house within a generation. With better materials more than likely.
CAD is taught to so many people now. It isn't high level anymore.
