Talk about a mag dump.
They loaded it up with 6 100 round Beta C mags and dumped them as fast as they could. That is a lot of trigger pulls. Finger must be getting a helluva' workout.
Ok, to note, this is just the lower reciever, or the actual part of the AR-15 that is considered the "Firearm." All the lower reciver does is hold the trigger and hammer assembly, has the magwell, and attaches to the buffer tube. Things like the safety, the mag release, the pistol grip. It's just a hunk of aluminum (or plastic in this case) that holds that stuff.
The Upper is where all the important guts are, like the bolt assembly, the chamber, the barrel, etc...
This is pretty cool. It's plastic, and I would not put a whole lot of trust in it. But It's cool nonetheless.

This brings up a question. Now that were seeing quite a bit of examples of 3-d printing happening, could weapon blueprints be sold on the blackmarket to people with 3-d printers. Should 3-d printing tech become more advanced and readily available to everyone, couldnt some asshat spread around the code to print out a rifle replica?

where the -blam!- does someone get a 100 round mag
-
do 5000+. it's what the plastic name brand lowers are rated for. then maybe i impressed.

Looks like we need to ban 3-D printers..

Not too big of a deal. Plastics technology has made many polymers and other permutations suitable for many different applications . I'd like to see someone make one out of Carbon fiber.

Title misleading and inflammatory.

I don't understand why this is so special. Anyone with access to a CNC mill has been able to make their own (more reliable) lowers for years.
