That's surprisingly not bad. $500 to stop a crazy-dangerous chase? Definitely worth it if it works. I'm used to things sold to governments being a few times more expensive.
- elwell 13y agoYeah, I was expecting him to say at least a 5-figure number for each system and something about one-time-use.
- frostcall 13y agoIf the round is still good, then getting it refurbished is only $250.
- jlgreco 13y agoI imagine that in practice two or more would be fired in a single chase, just to be safe. Even so, pretty cheap.
- hnriot 13y agoOr if a couple kids at MIT put the system together it would cost 10x less, be 10x more efficient and have been developed in 10x less time.
- Groxx 13y agoWell sure. But they wouldn't have won the contract.
