<< we are still ahead of them, since we are only lacking a place to produce >>
Sorry, but that is totally incorrect.
You are lacking:
- consistency in product
- ability to produce large quantities (they can't even make a few sample shootpacks in over a year and a half)
- proper documentation to enter Vietnam (or almost any other country), which will take months or years to complete
- financing (which they will need to expand operations)
- customers (the most important thing of all) - and I wouldn't include the Army as a customer just yet - they only ordered some samples for testing and haven't put in a real order yet (and might never)
Bolt is MUCH farther ahead. They have financing, consistency, proven ability to produce large quantities, LOTs of financing, and customers. But I wouldn't really compare them, since Bolt is going after a totally different market.
