Here's a new hobby idea for the hard-core 2nd-Amendment types, who
lust over loaded howitzers as lawn ornaments, and MANPADS for duck
hunting, etc.:

ARDEC Engineers Using 3-D Printing To Revolutionize Shaped Charge
Explosives.
The AP (7/31, Ernst) reports that researchers at the US Army
Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center believe that
3-D printing "will present security experts and policy makers with
capabilities previously unimaginable." The AP quotes James Zunino,
materials engineer with the center, saying, "Once you get into
detonation physics, you open up a whole new universe." The piece
reports that Zunino's work "involves figuring out how different
layers of explosive material can be packaged in new shapes to get a
very specific result."
