BLAZnTECH is a motorized weapons cleaning system.
This is a pocket-sized power tool that provides a fast, easy way to clean the most commonly used firearms.
PROBLEM
Firearms maintenance hasn't changed in years. From the military to gun enthusiasts, most gun users still clean their firearms with hand tools.
Traditional weapons cleaning kits require disassembly of the firearm. They contain mainly steel rods and brushes. But breaking down the gun and using hand tools in this way wastes valuable time.
SOLUTION
With BLAZnTECH, users simply lock the bolt or slide to the rear then insert the cleaning device. You're done in minutes.
BLAZnTECH's unique motor enables thorough cleaning without disassembly.
MARKET SIZE
Competitors sell more than 25,000 traditional cleaning kits every week. By 2020, the company aims to have 10% of all domestic firearms owned by civilians (270 million firearms) be cleaned with BLAZnTECH products.
The firearms accessories industry is $6 billion.
CURRENT NUMBERS
The company has sold more than 1,000 units so far during its R & D stage.
Its current cost of production is $55 per unit, with a $200 suggested retail price.
As it scales, it believes its predicted cost of production will fall to $30.
