Thread: Rifle Obsolesence

Planned obsolescence usually only applies to products which the manufacture still has some control over after the sale. the concept applies to electronics almost exclusively because: A, they need battery and battery is a perishable consumable. by choosing not to make replacement batteries the product is rendered obsolete eventually; B, software this the product runs are upgraded and improved overtime and eventually becomes incompatible with the hardware; C, Even without A and B, overall performance improves enough over certain period of time it makes it counter productive to continue using the old product. Who still uses Win95 even if Word97 still works on it?

Gun makes rarely have control over guns after they are made. almost nothing on the gun itself is a consumable. Ammo can be made by anyone and even at home.
