A video showing what is thought to be first ever 3D-printed bullet being fired has appeared on YouTube.
In the video, from user Taofledermaus, three bullets of different weights and shapes are fired at various targets using a Mossberg 590 shotgun.

According to the video, each plastic pellet has been 3D-printed. A small lead shot was then added to give the bullet weight.

In the video, Taofledermaus is heard saying: 'You've heard of a 3D-printed gun? How about 3D-printed bullets.'
He goes on to explain that YouTube user ArtisanTony printed a 'couple of shotgun pellets' with the first weighing about four tenths of an ounce.
