Yeah, but part of "who wants it?" is "who's going to bother producing it?"
so the supply is going to be short. And who's to say that a lot of people
don't want them? They'd be great for capturing people alive to use for
slave-labor later, and a lot of good guys might want them because they
like to avoid killing (hey, there are a few principled people left out
there!)
Finally, I would say that any kind of specialized equipment is going to
cost more than the general, it's just the way the world works (even the
wasted world IMHO).
