I'm not saying I have a great deal of confidence in them or anything, but they do seem to go bang (in the right direction) often enough to keep that area in business.
Probably the way that I made muzzle loaders and zip guns, myself, when I was a kid. There's a bit of a difference between a hand made single shot weapon and an assault rifle with a cyclical rate of fire in the 500+ rpm range. "Oops, the spring broke!" can have rather serious consequences.
