1) Nobody's figured out how to make one. The NIC has been scratching its collective head over the design of a reliable, sturdy, affordable 50 dart drum. Until recently, many of us didn't think it was possible. And some of us speculate a drum that size wouldn't be reliable.

2) Even if you could find a reliable design, you can't print a follower spring. And if it didn't use a simple spring, the mech would probably be even more complicated.

3) Most of us just don't have the time, money, skills, or inclination to spend that much time designing, building, testing, and perfecting a reliable, sturdy CS-50.
