I've been 3d printing for almost 4 years and I have 6 printers here at my house, and I would still consider a printed gun to be a one shot survival type tool.
Honestly, I wouldn't have a problem printing an entire gun if all I wanted to do was hang the thing on my wall. But that kind of defeats the purpose of being a collector.

And I agree with you on the one shot survival situation.
