How do I start an artillery shell manufacturing company? Not how do I make them, how do I get a contract without producing one and how can I start producing them without legal authority? How do I get that authority?
“how do I start a company making these huge medical robots they use for surgery?” The answer is “you don’t”. You start off with a small company that does small things. You gain experience. And by the time you get to making an artillery shell, you know what people you need to hire, you have a network of people that probably includes someone in the military procurement. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
I still don’t see the step where you actually make the shell legally. I am familiar with the procurement labyrinth, but how do I have samples ready when I respond to a request? Where does that authorization come from?
Also, my point still stands - you first make bullets, then move onto weapons. To produce weapons, you need permission and a lot of red tape to cut through. Once you have that done, then you move onto grenades with even more tape. Then when you move onto grenade launchers, etc etc, you already have a wealth of knowledge on how to file every form, what you need to be able to produce it, about safeties.
The answer to your direct question is “I don’t know because I don’t make artillery”. The answer to “how do I make a medical device and have it be legal”, about which I know plenty, cannot fit into any number of comments. It’s something you do for a number of months, maybe even years. It depends on every country. It depends on the medical device. It depends on the people you have, on the money available. It isn’t an answer to a question.
Well, look for the info. Every business owner needs to do plenty of research. Just typing into google led me to a barnes & noble book “for dummies” on how to start an artillery business.
I really don’t think this information is meant to be secret. I can’t imagine the US doesn’t want more domestic weapon manufacturers vying for their contracts.
Edit: I thought this was a different movie. I haven’t seen it, the description is vague… but maybe this is the sequel.

Too much work. I’m just going to build a giant cannon for Saddam Hussein

I think asking randoms on the Internet that question is a great way to star in War Dogs 2

It’s not that it’s a secret, it’s that you definitely want the answers from legal professionals and not internet randoms lol
Yeah… I have already found way better information directly off the DOD website. Still not entirely clear how you get authority for testing though.
