To correctley answer this question you must determine how many firearms
have been manufactured by HSM types that are still in circulation and usable
condition.
I have two that my uncle made. I'm commencing a RG-G Gatling gun this winter as in the
next few days since the shop functional.
I saw one with a very illegal electric motor attached to it, once upon a
time. Complete with ammo feeder that would hold a full brick..500
rounds.
It was fascinating as hell to watch the owner shooting it..and what the
targets looked like after they were simply obliterated by 22lrs.
I converse with a guy that makes a gun every couple months or so. He likes to make
reproductions for fun.

The big problem I have with making guns..is I hate woodworking. Im not
great at it..so while the metal work is fine..my stocks tend to look
like something **** out of the inflamed back end of a rabid and sickly
beaver.

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the
means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not
making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of
it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different
countries, that the more public provisions were made for the
poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became
poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the
more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin
Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766
