20 years of development sounds like a red flag to me. Normally it takes a few years to design a gun. Sounds like there were a lot of issues on TV’s side of things.
The M3 grease gun was made in 7 months and the Thompson had 20 years to improve by the time the M3 came out. That didn’t stop the US army from buying tons of M3s.
I don’t know if you’re being dumb or trying your best to argue here (apologies for sounding rude too), but there’s s significant difference between a cheap stamped inaccurate steel reciever of a crappy Grease Gun to rapidly pump put guns in order to win the War due to wartime budget restrictions compared to a fucking high temperature and high pressure polymer-case firing carbon fiber reinforced barrel light machine gun capable to accurately hit and penetrate ceramic armored infantry area targets at 800+ meters.
The point was guns have been made in much less time. 18 months is fast but not unreasonable for such a large player in defense contracting to produce something like the 338 mg.
