Shire was somewhat surprised by Dominic's words; he was actually able to see the problems with the paratrooper rifle!
...
All along, Shire has always focused on developing aircraft, tanks, and artillery.
Because such things require technological and industrial foundations.
For example, aircraft, even if countries like England, the United States, and Germany know that France is equipped with all-metal transport planes, they cannot imitate them. Their aviation engines have yet to achieve the necessary horsepower to support an all-metal fuselage.
Even if one day the engine's horsepower reaches the required level, there are still many details that need to be developed step by step.
Tanks and artillery are similar.
But light equipment is different; rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, mortars, mines... If Shire invents them today, they will appear in the hands of the German Army tomorrow, and perhaps even be used on a large scale.
