Mr. Scratch 91 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) That gun is a cartoon. I mean pretty much literally. Now don't get me wrong; I can appreciate a cartoon gun. But a gun should also be something OTHER than a cartoon. You should also be able to count on it to function, and that the manufacturer will stand behind their product. Otherwise it is just a fancy piece of crap. Unfortunately with AA, you can't count on either their quality or their customer service. They've got a long history of not only preferring form over function, but of totally sacrificing the function altogether to make sexy-looking garbage. They don't seem to have any qualms about jamming it to customers for high bucks, selling them fancy paperweights when they buyers expected functional firearms accessories. If this were any other company turning out this monster overbuilt fantasy gun with it's aluminum ingot magazines, I'd be saying "Okay. Cool." But it ain't. So until reviews say otherwise, I'm just going to assume this is another effort to bilk gun owners who haven't taken the time to research the company's antics enough to know they were buying a boat anchor.

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 That gun is a cartoon. I mean pretty much literally. ... Lol You make a good point. If a gun's gonna be that big and blocky, it better be a fuckin bolter and fire self-propelled explosive .75 cal rounds! Purge the heretic, btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ewoketeer 35 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 1st time I've seen tinfoil on a gun. Cost of tin foil 5 dollars Cost of Saiga 12 600 dollars Conversion 200 bucks The look on your face when you know you bought something that was just covered in tinfoil for 2 grand priceless. regarding your subquote--thanx for translating Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeluvsk 58 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 [] I got the original AApiece-o-crap prototype for sale. We'll start the bidding at $2000, do I hear $2000? Oh and don't worry about the trigger, it fell out during the first mag dump we just edited that out of the video footage. The FCG will be welded back in for a permanent install prior to shippment to your FFL of choice. * this is not affiliated with Alliance Armament LLC, nor does this represent any weapon owed or operated by Alliance Armament LLC 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, I'm pretty sure it isn't chrome, but aluminum. They're plan is to anodize the aluminum parts when/if they produce the gun for the public, but this is just a prototype. The fact that they didn't bother to take the extra step to do so for the prototype whose demonstration they were releasing to the public strikes me as a little half-assed, but what the heck. It's pretty clear to me at this point that AA is freakin' clueless about Public Relations and how to market a product, so failing to make the last small effort when unveiling their new flagship to the world is par for the course.
