Bingo.

If you want it, get it. But those were the reasons I did not. Spraying 200 rounds isn't much different than spraying 100 with a C-Mag. Heck, you'd probably only load it with 100 at a time anyway due to weight and cost to shoot.

I looked into these things and unless I missed something they still seem prototype. Ares has had to make many modifications due to issues with the weapon with only several weapons out there. So, to me, they are unproven. Perhaps you have better info. If Ares doesn't get their act together you might not get parts. If Ares does get their act together, you might see this thing selling for $3k next year instead of the $8K you pay (I have no idea what the final retail is supposed to be). This is a wait and see deal for me.

All that being said, it does have a cool factor, so if you got the money and really want it then don't talk yourself out of it. Life is short and you get one shot.
