Wait, what the hell did I just watch?
This industry is bizarre.
Is this a thread about who was sitting with whose ex in the lunchroom?
I honestly have difficulty taking anyone seriously who doesn’t run BUIS.
Go through the arms room at 2/75. Lots of rifles with no backup sights.
Watching that, all I could think was, “Good for him, he is physically fit to jump up on a trunk of a sedan, or clear a hay bale, just not smart enough to find another route.”
I’ll grant that DD is top of the line quality, almost a decent price for their products. Promotional videos like that rarely if ever are a deciding factor for me - other than to take the spokesperson seriously as a SME". Even their torture test video sold me more on Aimpoint than their rifle. I’d have taken that more seriously if they had done the same thing to three other brands at the same time.
I can agree that I would not have Pincus on my list of instructors after watching that.
So, if LAV is done with DD or vise-versa, it’s a small matter. They still have a good product. If they start cutting costs in house and dropping quality standards, then that is not a small matter.
I know it is sad and hilarious at the same time but I bet if Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham supported and endorsed DPMS, DPMS’s sales probably would increase a lot. You have to understand that the average Joe consumer knows nothing about guns, does not shoot guns, and learns from Hollywood. It is important to keep in mind who the audience is.
Lmfao.
On a side note. Why does he use the chargine handle during a reload? Or punch that innocent cinder block?
Just minding my buisiness and being a cind-- OOOH FUCK OWCH I’M BROKEN. … Asshole…
Rob lost some major man points with that hay bale jump, and DD just shot up the corny meter.
Yeah caught that too, among other things. Trainer preference. Just went through the same thing in my most recent class I took (why doing a thing one way, when another way works as good or better). Decided that this is his class, this is his method, I have the option to do it in a different way I was taught.
Agreed, 3 pages of junk that belongs in the GD.
I’ve heard that he’s a fan of the “one muscle movement for everything” argument…
But I dunno… that’s dumb.
When I’m being shot at, I want the gun working now. Not later. Plus, the thing that sucks about malfs is that not only does the gun stop working, but the motion it takes to clear it sucks, and we work to make our malf clearances faster. So why would you slow down a reload?
Familiarity is the enemy of progress.
So much spilled Kool-Aid in this thread. I never understand why people give two shits about this. Who gives a flying fuck who endorses who? Why don’t you guys just focus on buying products based on reputation and quality instead of who is doing their advertisements? That would be like me refusing to buy a Ford F-150 because I hate Dennis Leary. Jesus, some of you people are dense.
Even if Pincus is their new endorser and Vickers is out, I’m not going to sell my Daniel Defense and buy the next thing LAV endorses, whether it be BCM, Colt, or someone else.
This thread is so full of fashion queens, it’s embarrassing. Never even heard of Pincus until this thread.
“Like OMG! Did you hear Sarah Jessica Parker is no longer wearing Jimmy Choo’s?! Yeah, I hard Kim Kardashian did a commercial for Jimmy Choo. Ewww! Hate har! I’m SO taking my Jimmy Choo’s to Goodwill toe-ma-ROE.”:haha:
Whats a Jimmy Choo?
Agreed tho, never heard of Pincus either. Not a fan of the vid, but as long as my DD continues to exceed my expectations I have no qualms.
After posting that, who’s the fashion queen in this thread again???:sarcastic:
I honestly have difficulty taking anyone serious whose avatar is a chick in a gas mask grabbing her own tits. 
:thank_you2:
So how many guys here are going to sell their DD rifles & buy whatever the next brand that Vickers endorses?
I don’t. Shows the man has good taste, and health in mind.
Not me. That’s why I put the disclaimer in my original post about DD making a quality product regardless of who endorses them.
Regarding putting this in the SME forum, I thought it might be rude to put Larry on the spot like that in case he couldn’t answer the question because of a contract issue. I thought by posting it here, Larry would have the opportunity to respond if he wanted, but also others who might have industry knowledge on the subject could respond.
Time to go against the grain again, at least a little bit.
The video is actually impressive in a very real way. Besides showing a level of physical fitness that some would aspire to accurate shooting is more difficult following physical exertion.
Having said that, the video was more a promotion of Pincus and the product was almost secondary. I also think that many of the physical activities are needlessly extraneous and few obstacles will need to be navigated in such theatrical manner.
And I agree, somebody really does need to re edit that video with the theme song and sound effects from the Six Million Dollar Man. That would be hilarious.
