Speaker 5 (01:21):
We have seen the progression from single shot rudimentary firearms
to current day where we're seeing three D printed parts

and they pose a real threat.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Geeesh, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:38):

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Let's have a bit of fun with us. When do
you get to the.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Point where you go, oh, I reckon, we can get
a gun out of this, and then I could offsell
it and do a bit of a side hustle.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Amazing that you could make a gun that could shoot,
but you can't leave it out in the sun.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
It'll just melt a bit and then it'll level work again.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
This was an issue for a while because when the
three D printer came out, fits people saying, oh no,
now anyone can print a gun and they can take
it on an aeroplane.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
That was the big thing. You could get it through security.

Jackal road.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, they do it. He prints it in the in
the in the show.

me got a little bit far fetched towards the end.
I mean when the Jackal when everyone.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Was after him and he's hiding out underneath the house
and then all of a sudden, Oh.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
You wouldn't believe it, but the house has got a
three D printer in it. I might just.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
While I'm down here, I might just print myself a
high powered sniper rifle off.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
If anyone's seen The Jackal, right, the scene and the
episode where he's trying to get the guy who's swimming
who's in the company, to get that he's against No,
it's not, and he's ONGs and he needs like you
know when you see those photographers in Hollywood and they
have these gimbals because the camera weighs so much, but

(03:11):
it has to be sturdy.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
The whole time he's made one of those on a boat. Now,
was that three D printed? He could have done that. No,
he can do anything.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
The scene in the ocean and the guy goes under
for a swim.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
He knows he's been so the.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Guy goes, I'm going under and the Jackal he stays
under for I reckon a round about forty five seconds
and the Jackal just has to go. I'm just going
to have to have a potshot here to see when
he's coming up. Yeah, you wouldn't bloody believe it. Jackal
