You are so WRONG. Maybe in your part of the world but here in the USA its been done, here' the link and this was made in 2013 the advances in 3D printing since then are tenfold

Anyway you don't need to print the barrel as that can easily be made on a simple gun lathe that anyone can purchase
The gun is composed of 38+ Stainless Steel and Inconel components 3D printed using a metal printer as well as a 3D printed nylon hand grip. Never before had a gun been 3D printed completely in metal and been proven completely functional. As of this month, the very first 3D printed metal gun has been through 4700 rounds without failure.
