CNC is expensive! (never done CNC) so you better off buying other gun.
There is nothing a CNC can do that I can not do on a conventinnal machine... The only thing CNC has on me is speed. CNC rates area about 90$ a hour for std machine and up to 250$ on multiaxis machine, add to that the cost of materials, programing and tooling expenses ( yes they charge you for tooling) you looking at one hell of an expensive gun.
