        Yes... they "won" the bid by being the "lowest-cost solution"... $800,000 per shot... the original projected price was going to be $80,000, which obviously was just the right amount. Nope nothing wrong with that nothing to see here. The tech these were replacing ranged from $400-$1000 per shot. They weren't as accurate but that was never the point of them.

          They have a HUGE location ten minutes from where I grew up. Liverpool has a HUGE plant for them.

              That'd put you in Liverpool more often than you should admit, because that means you should be coming out with me! 😛

                                            As much as I'll hate our government having to pay out million/billions, there definitely should be a penalty.
