    That sounds like it might be true, but is it? I’ve heard many things in relation to this weapon, but not anything about the inability to produce them.

      Shrug? This is what the budgets have indicated. The military isn’t interested in pursuing this weapon anymore. They’re actively trying to replace it but also don’t want to give up the capability until it is fully replaced.
