At the same time US weapon companies failed to produce rifles for Russian government, failing both in quantity and quality. Would you be so kind to explain it?

In 1914-18, NOBODY made arms of the quality we make now.  At Springfield Armory, they were making 1903 Rifles in a government factory.  There was a heat treating problem, causing rifles to burst.  Rifles made by Remington and others didn't have the problem.  Hmmm...

Before WW2, all our torpedos were made in a government factory.  The famous torpedo failures are well documented.  During WW2, private companies made practically all our weapons.

Boroda, you can find examples on both sides of the argument.  Nothing is proven, either way.

Wise statement.

I only used that arguments to prove that private enterprising isn't an absolute solution to all problems. At least here in Russia it have proven to be a disaster.
