    I’ll start.

    HINT- I think there’s two with military grade weapons in this one.

    Hidden in plain sight. Pretty clever if you ask me. I just thought they were plastic French drain pipes from Home Depot.
    Hell, I was looking for Frank in them thar cedars. I thought it was a real challenge, until I took another look at those down spouts, and said, looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, must be a bazooka or something. Mac:cool:
     
    You guys joke but this is pretty high level shit, do you understand the amount of hours for research and development that Lowes/Cadex had to do before putting out the new dryer vent suppressors...? No you don't, so please don't knock things you can't understand with your simple minds until you go down to your local hardware store and make one yourself...
     
    So many questions. Why is he using a clip-on yet wearing sunglasses.

    and what is up with the tripod leg on the right? Which direction is that supposed to be going? It looks like it comes off the apex and should be going down and back toward the shooters left leg. But just past the the hinge it has a 90 degree bend and actually comes forward.

    You're right! I think it's an Escher tripod!

    I actually feel bad for Cadex Defense... They look like they are doing some interesting stuff.

    The dumbass at their ad agency, however, needs to be strung up by his gender-neutral non-binary.... whatever(s) until he understands that doing STUPID stuff like this with their clients' brand and image... should result in firing, with extreme prejudice.

    Sorry, but I am sure someone thought they had a real handle on snipery or operatery or Eskimo-ey... or whatever when they created this image. They were probably really pleased with themselves and already counting on the promotion to Senior Associate Junior Executive Account Manager... and thinking about buying an Audi.

    Instead they have managed to take a company that has so many thing going for it... and making it a laughing stock.

    Well, the world needs Barista's, too. And they can be binary. So he/she/it/him/her/their/shemale/shewe... can salvage a new start.

    Oh, yeah... and whoever at Cadex approved this. Because, well, MBA-marketing does not make one all snipery.

    There are lessons here for folks representing the firearms industry. If you're at an agency or outfit that is creating their image... Get to know the community. Before you make them into a CosPlay laughing stock among the folks who are really the potential base. Unless you are looking for a base of CosPlay customers. In which case, check out some Retro CounterSniper packaging and design-away.

    Or, maybe they won't learn? Besides, I think they sold a shit-ton of Counter Sniper scopes, judging by some of the discussions c. 2010...

    So maybe just carry on? Whatever the case... The first rule of marketing is... Know Your Audience. Or the fallout can be both costly and, dare I say, Hilarious!

    But what do I know... I was in Marketing Ah hah ahahah ahhaha ha ah ahah ahah ha ah hahha ha ha

    You need to realize they are

    Well, we should be nice to them today and this weekend, because they can't defend themselves today. They (and probably their Ad Agency non-binary sniper-experts) are all busy with a hard-on for Johnny Baptist. Let's let them wait until Monday and the pope or whatever will let them do damage control and un-screw their marketing program from the ceiling. Again... we need to let them recover without being Mean Girls.
