that dosent look lije a big volume piece...i dunno

[Barney Vissur]

JP, hahahaha, love it! I'll be honest with you, my brain isn't all that sharp when it comes to the tech, and you know that. However, I don't think you could have made it any clearer and thank you for dumbing it down - personally, I needed that, DEFINITELY needed that. I think I remember Watts had a photo of that as well in his avatar. See, this is the problem with LQMT mgmt because, as I recall, they basically not only were unequivocal regarding the military, but I think they were in TOTAL DENIAL. That drives me a bit nuts, but they created a legal foundation of NDA's to permit themselves to say ZIP. And Red made the comment that he didn't know if it would be a high volume part to which you replied to ask LQMT mgmt who, IMO, will either say, "No," "NDA," or "we cannot confirm or deny that." Well, if they won't disclose anything else, it goes full circle to one thing, and one thing only - REAL revenues. However, this is just further proof to me that they better be showing real revenues sooner rather than later or shareholder unrest will begin.

P.S. I could see Materion assisting in this big time as I recall MTRN supplies beryllium to the military in some capacity.

Why is nobody talking about our aerospace/defense prototype part used by the XM25? This piece of Liquidmetal:



is part of this:



which is part of this:



which goes in this round:



which is fired by this:



Here is a video about it:

and a Powerpoint presentation about it with a timeline:

Began 30 month EMD effort on 28 Apr 2011
? Design will be finalized by month 9 and select facilitization and
manufacture will begin
? 36 FOA systems delivered beginning in month 24
? ATK will begin testing 10 systems approx month 8
? Will conduct 6 months of testing on systems
? Systems will go through a variety of Tests
? Environmental, life cycling, human factors, safety, etc.
Similar to DT testing the Gov’t plans to perform

If Schroers can do this, and he trained under Johnson and LQMT, then, WHY CAN"T STEIPP do this?

What happened to the XM25?

[Watts Watt]

In August 2013, the army revealed that the XM25 may move to low-rate initial production (LRIP) by August 2014. The weapon is currently in the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase and not yet ready for fielding. By August 2014, it is expected to reach Milestone C, starting LRIP for 1,100 weapons and needed ammunition. Low-rate production would lead to type-classification, resulting in removing the "X" from its designation. Improvements are being made concerning the fire control system, battery life, weight, and magazine size. Following Milestone C in 2014, the system will go through initial operational tests and live-fire tests in 2015. The XM25 is expected to be combat-ready by the end of 2015, and be fielded with all brigade combat teams, as well as the Army Special Operations Command, special forces detachments, and ranger regiments. Automated production will reduce the price of the system to $35,000 for the weapon and fire control system, and $55 per round
