The Cyberpunk 2020 RPG was way ahead on this. It had disposable weapons very much like the 3D printed ones produced by Defense Distributed, on sale from vending machines. They came pre-loaded and were designed to last long enough to empty the internal magazine. You can reload them round by round through the ejection port but they rapidly become unreliable to the point of catestrophic failure. Maybe that's the direction we're heading in IRL?
