I don't see why it should take that long, considering the choice of metal storm tech for Canada's small arms improvement program (and of course, with consideration for interoperability within NATO, royalties from ammunition would be enormous). Don't even get me started on Mach 5/50 ... the tech is worth a fortune, and I hope the administrator recognises the value. We may yet see a bidding war; I'll give MST some credit in that they gave all the big boys a piece of the pie and we may see some serious action come of that yet.
