David Bogenhagen has designed and 3D printed a gun he calls the Frizerator H-3, and instead of firing deadly bullets it fires… frisbees. That’s right, those fun little discs that everyone is familiar with.
“I’m an avid Frisbee player competing quite a bit in the 1980’s when Wham-O was sponsoring and competition was emerging from grassroots contests to full fledged national events,” Bogenhagen tells 3DPrint.com. “One day back in the 80’s I spotted a ‘fristol’ in the store, bought it and played around with it. I got my Makerbot 2x last year at Christmas time. As a career Mechanical Engineer, I decided to observe my fristol and design my own that I could print out. I took the name of the 3D printed gun, ‘Liberator’, and altered it into ‘Frizerator’ since it shoots Frisbees.”
Definitely not nearly as controversial as the Liberator, the Frizerator features quite the impressive design. Built entirely of 3D printed parts, which can all be downloaded for free via Thingiverse, this gun is sure to provide hours of entertainment for people of all ages.
“About all I do with [it] is to set up stuff to knock over, like a carnival game,” Bogenhagen tells us. “I guess games could be adapted to it.”
Sounds like fun to me! At least much more fun that firing a Liberator with live ammunition that may or may not blow up in my face. Bogenhagen ensures us that general usage of his gun is quite safe.
