I don’t disagree, and nothing I said should indicate otherwise. Unless a review is overwhelmingly negative, however, it’s going to help. Even neutral reviews are better than no reviews.There is a spotlight but that spotlight can be good, bad or neutral.
Every company is able to use his testing if they find the information and potential marketing valuable.
Not every test is a good result. The EA vox for example, dealers and EA weren't happy with the results. The silencer still needs to perform. The Sandman s did horrible on the mk18 imo.
The Nomad imo did pretty decent for a .30 can.
OCL was formed by guys living in a trailer park and working out of a garage. pretty sure thats still the case. If they can afford it, every big name in the market easily can.
The testing cost for tbac to get the Magnus tested would be basically equate to a couple-few certificates that they give out.
I know the TBAC guys could afford it and wish they would, but that doesn’t change the fact that what Jay chooses to review for the “member-funded research” moves the needle. It would be naive to think it doesn’t.
Apparently, the TBAC guys don’t think they need a larger customer base. I certainly don’t think it’s because they think their cans won’t stack up.
