I think 3k-5k is not possable price point.

As i estimate production cost of 20 guns at about 2 years.

That translates in about :
100K of labor costs
20K or rent
10K of bills
15-20K of material and tools
All and all making it a $150K project.

If i market them at 10K each then we talking about 25K of profit a year.

That's not much to speak off, considering the unknown factors of the project.

So the 15K price comes from the fact that, i will only find 10-12 clients willing to prepay, the rest of guns will wait for the takers.

My math may be off 15-20% one way or the other.
