    I am pretty sure I can grasp exactly how to scale up the production of some chemical as a chemical engineer doing exactly that as a job. Bulk production of chemicals is EASY to scale compared to such discrete manufacturing.

    The level of precision requires tuning the casing. If you think that is not precision, okay, whatever precision means for you is not relevant. It is hard to scale. You can not simply cast them continuously and be done with it.

      Most facilities are not built for rapid expansion of processing explosive material. The current expansion of US RDX production capacity is projected to take half-a-decade and a billion dollars.
