    Can we make it a rule...

    Public flogging for people whom list a gun for sale as a Deadlywind Mag if it has the DW foregrip or barrel. If it isn't a Karta, Dallara or Chord you need smacked! It's like calling every Mag with an X-Valve an X-Mag, or putting a hotdog on the hood of your car and calling it the Wienermobile!

    Agreed... I am less likely to buy things when the title is innacurate. Sure you get views but who wants to buy from the guy with the misleading title?

    Saw a "Splash Sterling" recently that was a solid color with a splash barrel tip... Good price, exactly what I wanted, but I skipped it.

    See I usually take it as more lack of knowledge than misleading in most cases. Kind of like the guy calling it a DyeMag because it has a set of Dye stickies on it. Not all of us eat breath and crap AGD.

    Truth. How many "DYE" markers with sticky grips or "Benchmark" markers with frames are there on ebay every day?

    this happens a lot across all guns. pump cockers, instead of snipers(though with the Empire sniper, i guess ownership of the name would make pump cockers true), or Angels listed as Dye guns, or B2Ks listed as Impulses.

    if the person doesn't know what it is and doesn't list it correctly, that sometimes is reflected in the price, SOOOO your diligence will payoff when the price is under market value.

    On a similar note: it bugs the crap out of me whenever I see "Deadlywinds", "Deadly Winds" or "Deadly Wind". It's not a fart. It's not several farts. It's "Deadlywind"!

    I still get confused. Can someone make an official rules section on naming mags? I have a mechanical mag with an E MAG valve with a Z grip. Another mag has a VD rail, carbon fiber custom backed ULE, triton frame, with an E MAXX value. What do I call it?

    I always figured the rule of naming would Body + Valve type + how its controlled + any important parts and member modifications

    like your first on would be a Z-griped Automag with Emag valve

    your other would be a Psycho ULE E-MAXX with a triton frame

    makes sense to me
