The fuds on Reddit (which is a weird statement in and of itself as Redditors for good or bad are widely assumed to be young and ultra liberal coded but the gun subs are filled with chuds and morlocks )

      historically the firearms produced in a “developing industrial environment” start with crude copies moving on to excellent copies then improvements and finally innovations and becoming the most next big thing. By my estimates we are at the beginning of the excellent affordable copy era where there are still some sub par manufactures in the game but the thing about this industry is that technology being now unlicensed and the competition fierce the engineers and developers all largely free agents who’s skills and knowledge are in demand .The innovations come quickly . Often while the last iteration is still in production
