Re: Accuracy International AE MKII vs AICS Clone
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: W54/XM-388</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The English "Top Gear" auto show did a great set of 2 episodes trying to see how indestructable a toyota hilux truck was. They crashed it into trees, took it down bad roads, dropped trailers on it, drove it through offices, set fire to it, let it get washed out to sea, put it on top of an apartment building and blew the building up etc (still ran by the way).
Top Gear Hilux Part 2 What would be great is if AI would give someone an AW and an AE to do the same thing with, you know, use them hard, let them fall out of helicopters, run their tank over them, use them to dig their truck out of a hole, let it freeze into a solid block of ice in the arctic, take them apart, put them back together in the field, take them for a swim in the ocean, tunnel through some sand dunes with them use them as a club when you run out of ammo etc, and see exactly how much use and abuse they can take and still keep on going. (The point being not to figure out how to destroy the rifle, but to put it up against the most challenging situations you could ever face or crazy accidents and see if it still works.)</div></div>
All this has already been done, and proven beyond any doubt... it is people new to LR / Military Sniper Rifles that have the" Show Me" attitude and who are looking at the price, etc.
The destructive testing that has been done has been going on for years, these aren't new rifles - they are field tested - combat proven weapons systems. Mission specific built from the ground up. It's guys who like the idea of an AI, the name, who think they want one to impress the guys at the local range or to cross over with F Class or something. So they are asking for the justification against the custom built race guns in an AI stock...
