Technological Options for User-Authorised Handguns: A Technology-Readiness Assessment

Appendix D
Time and Cost Estimate for the Development of a New Conventional Handgun

Assumptions

  1. Development is aggressive. Normal methods will double time and cost.

  2. Design is a clean sheet of paper.

  3. Design is a single caliber.

  4. No significant capital equipment (machinery ) needs.

  5. Does not include production, labor, materials, and expense.

Methods

  1. Design: Solid modeling methods (3D design). Will depict desired fits and clearances prior to modeling, resulting in a somewhat longer design period but a much shorter time for modeling, testing, etc.

  2. Dimensional Analyses: Using solid modeling (graphical) instead of computational methods will speed results.

Time and Cost

$3,000,000 to $3,700,00 over a period of 27 months to 3 years, which could lead to production in 33 months to 42 months.
