And the ammo is impossible to find!
Absolutely. There was a guy at the range I frequent that had just bought one. He paid well over $1K USD. I've never seen them cheaper than $1K. Very, very weird. It begs the question, how would a presumably novice shooter - described by his family as someone that knew nothing about guns - end up suing such a strange and peculiar weapon?
Regular “sporting” 5.7 x 28 is currently available for $18-$20 per box of 50.
