The gun just doesn't fit as a product that can be made obsolete by future designs. Most guns were designed for the military to be field serviceable. Any attempt to make a cheap gun will just push consumers back to the established platforms. So the gun industry can't be run like other consumer industries, as we have seen with this bankruptcy. Investors came in thinking they could bleed an established brand of it's value, but evidently, consumers noticed and moved on.
