So how, in the absense of an order, can a manufacturer even build a prototype? Twentieth century history alone shows us many weapons (not necessarily full autos) later adopted for military use that started out as private ventures-the 1941 Johnson rifle (which did actually have a SAW version) stands out. And wasn't the M-16 originally a flyer by John Stoner? Now, I'll leave it up to debate as to whether government entities other that the DoD actually need automatic weapons (all the better to oppress you with, my dear!)
