Money isn't a big object if Uncle Sugar signs on. Groups like the DSS don't care what a gun costs.
But it's an interesting point. How many MAC-10s can the govt buy for the cost of one KRISS? Ten? Twenty?
Not that the govt cares.
Who is still using Mac-10s? The HK UMP will have beat them to the punch in any defense contract. There was a good colt AR converstion (LeFranc) that used tommy gun magazines.
Maybe so, but you know any department or company that can privately finance this is going to snap it up. The grouping on full auto wasn't just impressive for a first time shooter, it was amazing. The "drop" power was just as impressive. Black Water will recoup their expense the first time it's deployed, simply because the one-shot, one kill power here will save lives for their team members.
However yes, there is an issue with getting into to the government agencies. That's what killed the Thompson in the end, isn't it? ROI for development could sustain the company over the long term, despite it's success in the field.
Sadly, with liberals and their minions in control of the government bureaucracy, life saving innovations that increase the overall effectiveness of such military/police teams will stand a poor chance of making to the field.
True, and they could fire up cobray and start producing new one's for about 200 per as opposed to the way out of line price.
