tell the truth

if your really lucky they try to cover up bad things.....
my aunt once had a defective dodge and found that all those models had the same defect (they over-torqued in reverse with any load, thus destroying the tranny) so they gave her a new car for free and made her sign a contract of secrecy
maybe you all should try finding things like that and report it, make the problem better and maybe score free stuff

Ya I remember that thing about those dodges.

all i get the magazines for is to look at the pictures then if i find something interesting, look it up on pbreview or warpig. and I like the warpig reviews and run downs, the test it and state what they find. like a halo dosn't feed as rast on a mag as a egg why? not a clue, they were shocked as well!

Is it really any different with other industries? Paintball appeals to a select audience, but what about automotive, which has such a vast audience, you would think every ad would be scrutinized. It doesn't seem to be when you see an F-150 being crushed by two D8 Cats and minimal damage or the SSR driving up to the car-hauler truck and spinning into reverse and backing onto the ramp.

There's more ridiculous claims out there in the automotive world and while there aren't as many false claims in "type," there's plenty of false representation of products. So what's worse, saying a gun can do 31bps, when technically, under drastically modified lab conditions *might* be true, or representing a product to be capable of the equivalent to 31bps when it really is not?

I'm aware that certain guns can achieve 30+bps, it's the fact that everyone else is claiming it too that bothers me. The next gun that can do 40 bps will just goad the other companies into making the same claim regardless of their capabilities. I wonder where this is all headed.
It may or may not be as bad in other industries, I am just disappointed that I can't look to a magazine as a reliable source for information anymore.

I rarely pick up a paintball mag anymore, only if it has an article that I want to read and keep. I can't even be bothered to look at most of the advertising.

[warbeak2099]

I do agree that it is ridiculous when they review a product. It's always positive even when the product is a 32* marker lol. But as for the ads, you can't have the magazine censor them. Manufactorers can put whatever they want in there. Making outrageous claims just makes them look like idiots. Take comfort in knowing that most players recognize that the claims are bogus. Just look at the response you got on this board. It wouldn't be very different on others. Even agg kids know a thing or two about paintball tech. But I do agree that the reviews are out of control.

There is/was a video over on the Qloader site showing an emag shooting 31BPS, it was really insane to see. The site is down for me right now, or I would link it.
