It is all part of "marketing"...make something new and people will buy it..excite the marketplace...the .17 is a big hit, but useless if even a slight breeze is blowing....short mags are a big hit, but barrel life is 1/3 of the standard mag.....people just like trendy, new stuff.....who would have thought 30 years ago, that folks would be running around with stainless-plastic stocked guns...better known as "ugly sticks"..??
