Category: Lies, Errors, and Omissions

If you've read my Osprey Defense scuba "test" article, you probably picked up that I'm a little suspicious of the methods this company uses to market their products. Well, they've put out a half dozen or so videos since then, so I thought I'd address a few of them as well. Don't take me not addressing a particular video as a sign that it's a good test - I just don't have the time to wade through that much crap. First, their "sandblast" test. They start out by having a… Read More

There aren't any lies in this video. The guys clearly show what they did with the weapon. No shenanigans, unlike the Osprey scuba video.

The whole point of this test is to show that the barrel can be full… Read More

Well, there are a few glaring problems that a lot of people have probably already figured out. Here, we see both rifles with mud on their sides. Note the mud on the top cover of the AK and… Read More
