IF you could match or get close to TM quality. Yes, you'll completely drive out the $400+ guns out of the market. And YES, people will buy them
IF you can machine similar quality and performance to TM and CA.
But I think the general problem here is, you're 19, and you lack the expertise with airsoft as well as manufacturing, so others will perceive you're just talking the talk and can't walk the walk.
If you wanted support or help from the community, you should at least have a business plan or outline on how you plan to implement each process.
ie.
1. Buy raw material from X for body, mechbox, retail package, etc
2. Build body at Factory Y where you outsource to
3. Build mech box at Manufacturing Facility Z
4. Put together gun at factory A
5. Package Gun at factory A
6. Ship package to retailers via courier B
Something like that. If you have done some research on the cost of the parts and labour, in Canada will cost you more than your expect $200-300, not to mention you still gotta cut some of that for retailers.
Yes, you can source the spring or piston, but who's going to mold the body and mechbox for you, etc etc.
If you want to do Market Research on people's opinion on buying a CDN Airsoft, you gotta know how much it'll cost you first before offering people $200-300 for an airsoft.
