One of the blessings of being a writer with TFB is that we are able to collaborate and learn from one another. Its a heck of perk, as between the staff here there is an incredible wealth of knowledge that I learn from on a regular basis. On the flip side, occasionally we disagree on topics, of which I do disagree with Nathaniel F on his assessment of the Army’s CSAT program. In a recent article focusing on the Army’s cased telecopic ammo program, Nathaniel came to a few conclusions that I do not agree with, given my own resources.

An answer to a question I haven’t thought to ask, Freedom Printing 3D tested two of the most common materials used for 3-D printing, ABS and PLA. Using a simple hammer, the ABS lower receiver was able to stand up significantly better to impact. Comparatively, the PLA shattered immediately.
