UK MUSEUM ACQUIRES WORLD'S FIRST 3D-PRINTED GUN

(CNN) -- The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, UK has acquired two models of the world's first 3D-printed gun.

The 'Liberator' pistol is the invention of Cody Wilson, a Texan law student whose company Defense Distributed caused a furore in May when it made blueprints for its firearm freely available on the internet.

The distribution of the designs led to Wired magazine naming Wilson as one of the '15 Most dangerous People in the World'. In theory, once downloaded, the designs would allow anyone with access to a 3D printer to make their own gun.
