in sukivans defence mcguyver (although i completley agree with you). these guns are designed by "the worlds most intelligent nation" and if it was a better idea they would have already thought of it. now they may have thought of it, but we both know bean counters control the world. to get this system up and running would have costed a company x amount of money to have x amount of engineers design, develope, r&d draft to find it required hi grade parts and manufacturing process'. they could have shelved this very same idea because it when they plugged it into their cost coefficiant formula it wasnt going to bring company x and finally mr.x enough money in to justify such a process. what?

now, simple joe, can develope, design, r&d and produce a working prototype on his own time gradually (which sukivan is obviously doing - remeber the guy who MADE his own p2000!!) and albiet with out a civil engineers degree or masters in some sort of mechanical/ engineering trade nor a cnc machine/ shop (maybe you do have acess to such a thing, i dunno...) makes it hard to believe that we will be served with the holy grail (jeeze didnt you ever see the river below video by billy talent? the dude built an a-bomb in his basement... AN A-BOMB!!!) but ya... we can hope and pray and what not, again remember the guy who made his own p2000! some company had to have picked that up and are developing a less costly way to develop that with cheaper mass available parts and process'.

and then ya to add on your other post, the retail to cover your costs ratio could very well be too high to market, and then you may also run into the very same problem star, src, ca ran into with trying to break into a tm dominated market. 90% of all business' fail within 5 years, many within their first year.

ya if that didnt make sense sorry its 2 am, and i wanted to sound smart.
