Labor costs probably don't account for much for this product. The process is very automated with little human input.
You guys are really stressing my memory banks but thinking back to my Army Ammo Ordnance Officer Basic Course I think we saw a small arms (yes, it was centerfire, but the ideas should carry over) production line that had no humans on the line and just one monitor/controller station in a safely remote location. There would of course need to be humans supporting the production line but you get the idea; lots of capital costs/low operations costs.
Anyone with experience is asked to correct me but that's what I remember from the 1980's.
