Re: Kra'vak Railgun

Question: If humans copy the railgun tech, shouldn't the first
generation
weapon mass 50% more and cost twice the Kravak? AS a general rule I
think
stolen tech ought not to match 1 to 1 the originals spec. As a matter of
fact it should probably mass twice and cost 3X what the Kravak price.
