Seems kinda gimmicky to me. Unless I'm missing something, they are touting how it's cheaper, yet I cant seem to find a price per round. Also they are asking for 250k and the perks are gift certs, again with no pricing on their ammo..

Yeah, donating, such bull. If you're a real investor then you need a % in their company and returns. They're basically asking for a handout.

Go on shark tank and be unable to give them answers as far as cost, retail, margin, sales, growth and see what happens.

They have prices on their website.

We have some .38's like this from the '80s, polymer case with a nickeled head. Reloadable, but we've never used them.

Yep. I have a couple of boxes of 223, it worked unless you fired it in a fluted chamber. Then not so good..

So $18/box of 48 rounds...Grant it if they were much larger maybe they could produce them cheaper, but in their video they boast of lower cost yet the cost they give is almost double what you can get 50 rounds of 9mm.

derpderp.

I know the man who produced the all plastic shotgun shells 25 years ago. They actually sold large numbers of them for a long time on a nationwide scale, so they did mostly work. I had occassion to ask him why he quit, even though the company was profitable. His response was that he had just avoided the 6th lawsuit with an out of court settlement and didn't want to press his luck. And shotshells are only about 1/3rd the pressure of a 9mm. I sure would not pay extra for them.
