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."

If they could only 3-D print Plutonium...
