Forum:This would be Epic for Advanced Warfare

I was just browsing the internet like usual, but then I came across THIS badboy, and it just so coincidentally uses 3D printing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberator_(gun)

So, how it works:

In 2013, before the U.S. Department of Justice demanded the files to download the gun be retracted after just 2 days, Defence Distributed placed this weapon for download. It's a single shot, muzzle-loaded weapon. In the 2 days, over 100,000 Liberators were downloaded, and download files can still be found if you look tenaciously on a file sharing website like The Pirate Bay. The entire thing is 3-D printed, including the .380 ACP cartridge rounds.

So, if you ever wonder how Sledgehammer thought up such a weird weapon as the IMR, you can just use the Liberator as a reference. If it could get into Advanced Warfare, I'd so use it in tandem with the IMR. :3

In-game, it's likely that design ideas from the Liberator were used to conduct a service rifle that could use 3D printed ammunition for convenience, and then bam, the IMR came out as the main idea, and entered widespread usage.

The thing with what I just said, is that this isn't the first time a similar idea can be formulated. These can be made for a number of weapons in Black Ops 2, such as the M8A1, which can be thought of as a revival of the unsuccessful XM8 that actually entered service, or the FHJ-18 AA, can be thought of as a rocket launcher developed in 2018 in China (due to Chinese characters visible on the weapon), that has entered service, and features a unique targeting system.
