To a degree this is inevitable, though. Pipe bombs and general IEDs have existed for much longer than this creation, and we’ve long passed the point where the average individual can easily create reliable firearms and ammunition within their own home (FOSSCAD).
This is just the logical conclusion of those who wish to design a more refined and precised IED.
3D printed (or hybrid material/improvised from everyday object) grenade launchers have existed for a very long time - just usually called “flare launchers” for obvious reasons.

While yes, I agree there is one issue: If Ukraine can have it, everyone will get it.
Which (in this case) is not so good

Claymore or so, sure.
But aint this essentially shoulder mortars (or RPGs?)? I don’t think we had achieved this level yet.
