You may have seen more than enough guns made with 3D printed parts. In fact, there is a non-profit digital publishing firm who makes a 3D printed gun called LIBERATOR PISTOL. However, this will the first time you see a 3D-printed revolver in action.

This is the PM522 Washbear, the world’s first fully functional revolver made with 3D print technology. The gun uses .22LR bullets and has been completely made with ABS plastic parts.
