Why? It's 140 year old technology, in what conceivable way can they justify this cost?

Supply vs. Demand
Is someone else selling a nice reproduction crank gat for less money?
If not they can ask whatever they damn well please, that's business.
Build one yourself.
the reverse engineering of it, seeing as there is probably no TDP for it. so every part has to be measured and toleranced, a machining solution figured, every part having to be fitted and checked.
it seems like it would sell better if they could lower the price to $8,000 or so.
>Why?
Because fuck you that's why
Uh, because it's fucking cool, you fucking faggot?
Its really not though.
I don’t know in which turd world country you live.
But in America people are free to set whatever price they want on the items they sell.
Companies are in business to make money
If they don’t have any sales, then they must lower their prices or go out of business
I learned this in SCHOOL, OP
go to school and stop being so dumb
I’m going to sell my car next week
OP, please tell me what the sale price should be.
Kek
whatever price you had in mind divided by two, if the millions of ads made by retards are anything to go by

Not really.
"Gatling soon improved on the original six-barrel, .58 caliber version of the gun, which fired 350 rounds a minute, by designing a ten-barrel, .30 caliber model, which fired 400 rounds a minute."
Gardner:
"the weapon fired a total of 10,000 rounds during the test, taking a total elapsed time of 27 minutes 36 seconds," = 362 RPM
> 5 Barrel - 800 RPM
>10 Barrel - 1200 RPM

The original was slower, but the 1877 model (what OP pictured) is way faster than the gardner.
>362 RPM of 4570 Gov't
MUH DICK
When you're relying on a loader to constantly top off the chute, something around 400 is likely the sustained fire rate for either system.
Considering 800 rpm would deplete the chute in 3 seconds, something more like 400 would be the sustained fire rate anyway for keeping the chute filled by hand
I am currently working on a .22lr version that uses ruger 10/22 barrels and extractors. Current part count is around 40 without hardware and without the loading mechanism. Much more work is needed cad wise. Right now, the raw material cost is around 500 and that is liberal because I am looking at speedymetal pre cut prices with new barrels/ruger piece parts. With that said, my perspective of the high prices is the fact that they use a lot of brass and craftsmanship to get the fit and finish. And its a novelty item that many people would like to have but cant really justify having if they could afford it.
>Why is this 200lb custom made machine expensive?
Nice!
Good luck, fellow solidworks bro
