These guns are funny - they're designed to be really cheap to manufacture, and do a good job of that, but somehow demand much higher prices than other (arguably better) guns that are a lot more expensive to make. I get that with an HK you're paying mostly for the name, but for something like a Zenith or PTR I'd think they'd be a lot cheaper if they made enough of them. For $500-$600 I'd buy one just for fun, but not gonna pay $1500+, much less almost $3K.
