the manufacturing of munitions through  
#c-;,d printing technology4  7#b7

manufacturers and suppliers of          
materials1 component parts1 and         
ancillary items1 including composite    
materials used in #c-;,d printing

such as firearms1 ammunition1 component 
parts of firearms1 or other materials   

that may be used to support or          
facilitate unlawful acts1 including the 
smuggling of illicit or illegal         
materials which may include weapons1    
hazardous materials1 and other materials
 that present a public hazard or risk4  
7#d7 ,work with #c-;,d printer          
manufacturers and suppliers of materials
 and component parts on ways to protect 
the public from the misuse of #c-;,d    
printing technology4  7#e7 ,study and   
offer policy recommendations on the     
national security threat imposed by     
undetectable weapons1 such as #c-;,d    
printed weapons that may not contain the
 requisite #c4g ounces of metal         
necessary to set off metal detectors4   
7#f7 ,study and offer policy            
recommendations on statutory and        
regulatory loopholes surrounding        
untraceable weapons such as weapons that
 become functional firearms but         
circumvent the manufacturers' serial    
number requirement4  7#g7 ,address the  
current loophole allowing the serial    

number exemption for the so-called #hj  
percent receiver11 which is the central 
component that houses the firing        
mechanism of the weapon and which1 by   
leaving the manufacturer as an          
unfinished product1 allows the serial   
number requirement to be circumvented1  
because a purchaser may adapt #hj       
percent receivers into a final product  
in a relatively uncomplicated fashion4
