Back in 2005, there was the certification mountain to climb - now that Everest is nearly complete and a volume production contract is in the bag.

Then there was lots of possibilities some knotty technical issues and no deals -now there are deals and proven product.

I can remember early enthusiasm and shared it - and see now how time has tempered the person - but remember the core benefits - lethal non lethal, low maintenance, multiple rounds before recoil, lighter to carry and clip on to other weapon, networkable and usable on land, sea and air plus integrated to a robot system.. The tech is patent protected and so is the ammo, so a high barrier to entry for competitors plus not easily replicable by terrorists etc.

So in summary the darkest part of the night is passed and the dawn approaches...
