$1850 MSRP seems a tad steep, but who knows? Maybe it's the next big thing :D

and I've already lost interest.Quote:
the CAR 816 A2 is a tactical weapon
Until someone produced evidence that this deserves to compete with the likes of the scar or hk416, or even a rack-grade normal m4, I can't see why anyone would care about this.
They need better PR. If they price it low, the public looks at it as crap. If they price it high, the public looks at it as too expensive and not worth it. Without some form of marketing blitz to showcase why this weapon is worth it, they are going to have a hard time selling them.
People can hate on marketing all they want, but good marketing is both educational, as well as the aspect of making people desire the object.
The receivers's aesthetically pleasing, I like aesthetics of less curvered magazine thats in it too. Anybody know whats manufacturer and model of that magazine?
Regardless I won't be buying that thing even if it was $700 or something. There's other AR and gun I rather to put the money toward.
