Yes but firing off a round creates a lot of heat... this means plastic will distort eventually.
A firing pin needs to be ubber strong in order to survive the constant hammering. I cant see a 2mm piece of plastic rod being able to remain straight and not break... fire one round yes.
But after that im not too convinced.

As for making other plastic parts, these printers would be great for creating your own plastic panels when customising your cars interior.
