Ironically and technically, that's the same as lying.

Now, off to the legal section ...

For that meeting, the Jean Girard Brothers will have to shave their noggins, wash their feet, and sport their Sunday-best flipflops.  

That's too bad it had to come to that.  It would be interesting to know which silencer was more durable, but I would have guessed the two were comparable even though the AAC one is more pleasing to the eye in it's rainbow colored as welded and new condition.

Ironically I think the ad may have even been as effective without even including the Surefire product.

Uh, chromeluv, this is technical, because end-users come to this forum for reference on companies, their habits, to include customer service, etc.

All suppressor info is obviously traded in this forum, and that lawsuit is filled with technical info.

Get off the phone with KB just long enough to actually read it.

I think if I were Surefire, I would counter with a better suppressor that would blow AAC's top cans out of the water.



I guess this is easier

You just made the point for false advertising ...

I've ordered Sir Fingar to make us a 3'x4' poster of this lawsuit for our Shotshow booth, it's the least I can do for Surefire, all good folks actually doing no-bs good things for our guys in the sand.

One M.O. is to jump in every AAC detractor thread in order to get them locked.

So very transparent.



ETA - Look at that ad and talk smack to me about "The High Road".

I share your pain brother, as do alot of my friends. And they depend on the good shit, it saves their lives.

I was recently at the interservice Sniper competition- the inaugural year of the National Guard MTU's attempt to create a training event similar to the international sniper competition, designed to allow sniper teams from the Army, Navy, Airforce, and Marine Corps to gather to compete and see how the various teams confront various challenges so as to gather training and training ideas unavailable inside their unit.  

The event was closed to non DOD spectators and closed to the media, so obviously there was no real advertising value to outside vendor support of the event, and unlike the International comp, prize donations came from less companies.  McMillan, Elberstock, Strider, Eagle and LaRue Tactical were the source of all the prize donations at the event.  McMillan brought a guest speaker and a rifle to be donated to the MTU as a comemerative for the winning team, Elberstock donated two gunslinger packs, Strider donated $3000 worth of knives, and LaRue donated ~$3500 worth of prizes and was the only company to donate "swag" to all the teams regardless of standings.  ~30% of the targets at the Comp were LaRue sniper targets (I wouldn't doubt some donated).  

Seeing Larue and the other companies involved donating items at a closed to public event was all I needed to see for "true colors".

As far as the quality of Surefire cans, the match organizer with the MTU talked with me about cans and told me the Surefire cans were his favorite because they give him the sound and flash suppression needed for combat without POI shift and with minimal weight.  This would suggest that Surefire silencers have a lot to offer.  

I did hear a silencer on a 308 at the event and it was loud, but I'll just take his word for it, as he's a previous winner of the international comp- also a second place winner and several year sniper instructor.  If someone knows what a good silencer for snipers is it's him.  

The silencers found on sniper rifles are predominantly Ops and Surefire.  The KAC silencer on the 110SASS is a good silencer as well and makes up the lions share of the rest of silencers on sniper rifles you'll find, but either the KAC rifle or the can tend to throw an occasional round and that is not something Ops and Surefire users observe.  That errant flier is annoying as shit in a competition and would be worse in the real world.

Then why couldn't they make a quiet can to begin with?
