Nylon reinforced with Kevlar or Carbon is stronger than 6061-T6 Aluminum per pound and now quite affordable" You can find a real world example in modern pistols especially those made by Ruger. The frame is a reinforced plastic material, strong enough for it's purpose , but the rest of it is metal. Plastic does not stand up to the heat and stresses on the slide and barrel. Steel does.

Even though plastics are cheaper ,metal frames are still popular for those who aren't too cost oriented.

EBM has lots of competition. But the potential markets are so large that even 1% or 2% market share would do wonders for AMAVF price.
