2. Seems like a bad business idea...

…to make something nobody wants and will not buy. Too unreliable. Also, if vehicles can be shut down with a switch from elsewhere, so could your guns. Cops won’t want these and gun owners won’t replace their reliable guns with them. So who are they for? Who plans on wasting their money on a gun that may or may not work and can be disabled at the whim of an outside operator?

This will be a “thanks but no thanks, not interested” thing.

Ian McCollum (Gun Jesus) of Forgotten Weapons fame did a video on it in which he described it as "the worst shotgun ever".

One just sold on Gunbroker for $1,500.

5. Yep, when they become collectibles due to scarcity,

then expect the price to increase.
