A teenager from Australia was arrested after police discovered that with the 3D printer, he had produced a fully functional weapon.

Police in Australia found the firearm after conducting a search of the 18-year-old's home earlier this month, the Telegraph reports.

"This firearm, which looks like a toy, can cause serious damage.

It is very disturbing that this young man has managed to produce this firearm at home with a 3D printer with light materials ", said Colonel Blair Smith.

This plastic gun can fire 15 bullets if the leg is pulled only once.

Australian police say it took two days to process the material, which costs less than $ 40.

Last year it was proposed to change the gun law in Australia, where the production of firearms with 3D printers is considered illegal.

Under applicable law, anyone caught with plans or manuals for producing 3D-printed firearms can be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
