Just curious but what did the video really prove? DD's video was impressive as it was flat out dropped from the helicopter with no protection at all for the rifle or optic. Yours was packaged very, very well (in a disassembled state) and if it hadn't worked properly I would have been shocked (and kind of disappointed). Quote HistoryQuoted:

YouTube viewers can now take back their views for wasted time. And you think that little ditty of gun fun is a waste of your time ? Just curious but what did the video really prove? DD's video was impressive as it was flat out dropped from the helicopter with no protection at all for the rifle or optic. Yours was packaged very, very well (in a disassembled state) and if it hadn't worked properly I would have been shocked (and kind of disappointed). It's a "Not that you would... but you could" type of video. There is expense that goes into such things and when they're well done, just take it for what it is: A fun video that they took time and expense to bring us. They (and this goes for other gun/accessory makers, like Magpul) don't have to do this kind of thing. They're sinking money and time into doing it to get aspirationals on board as well as shoring up their existing customer base. If you already hate them you will throw poop at it. If you are in the middle ground or closer, it will jive for you and you'll enjoy it. And then there's the Internet Dickwad Factor.

Does it count my computer every time I watch it ? 
Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Youtube view counts aren't as linear as you may think. If they suspect that it's a bot watching your video for the sake of view augmentation, then they won't count the views. Same thing for likes--if people click on the video, like it, and then navigate to another page, it will take away their view/like because it thinks they were a bot. That's also the reason that they stop at 301 views in a short amount of time--to make sure that they are legitimate views. Does it count my computer every time I watch it ?
Yep, as long as you watch roughly 1/3 of the video. Ask me how I know.

That aint much....
I've had a video with 100,000+ views lose 10-15,000 views. Youtube does audits every once in awhile and it deletes view that were from someone opening the page multiple times at once, etc... |

Not that they mentioned. The zero was off which wasn't surprising since they cracked the rear lense of the Aimpoint but they didn't mention anything else in the video. Drop starts at 9:15 or so: Link to the video so as not to take away from Mark's thread. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Yours was packaged very, very well (in a disassembled state) and if it hadn't worked properly I would have been shocked (and kind of disappointed). Didn't they bend the barrel on the DD ? ETA - I like the guys at DD, they make tools of destruction and we make instruments of death.  Not that they mentioned. The zero was off which wasn't surprising since they cracked the rear lense of the Aimpoint but they didn't mention anything else in the video. Drop starts at 9:15 or so: Link to the video so as not to take away from Mark's thread. From survivalist board BSmith - DD mentioned that during the chopper drop the first time, the camera had a problem. The Aimpoint was still zero'd at that point. The second drop (on film) bent the barrel. They didn't realize that until they inspected the gun. Aimpoint should be sucking this free advertising up. The shotgun was bird shot. We know it's worthless for much of anything, of course it won't do anything to a gun, especially from the distance shot. The test wasn't to see if we could hit dead middle of a swamp after dragging a rifle up out of said swamp tied on a trotline.

Not a fanboy as I don't own a LaRue or any other boutique rifle, I will one day.
But I like all aspects of the Youtube 230 Yard drone shot video and I like most of all the ideas and convictions coming from Mark and crew. Good on you and your people and keep up all the good work you do. |

I vote for new video where the rifle free falls to 100 ft, chute deploys and shooter grabs it before it hits the ground while Capt. Kirk rolling. Shooter engages said drone and then rolls the gun Costa style, ejecting the mag which takes out a Terminator approaching from the 9 O'clock position. Shooter then looks at camera an says" 'Merica!"
