unrealistic AI marketing pic

[MikeInUtah]

Maybe I am reading into this too much but this isnt a poster of an upcoming movie but from a rifle manufacturer.
Shooting a rifle without a suppressor in a confined space without ear pro this guy's ears should be bleeding after his first shot.
I initially thought maybe they were intending to picture the guy observing only but his finger is on the trigger which implies he is expecting to shoot.

Maybe he's deaf?

Realistic set up. Photo op.

What happens to the windows?

 

[338RUM runner]

My guess is glass everywhere!

 

[Veer_G]

Mom told him that he had to stay in the car?

 

[deadnbrkn84]

No windows would shatter. He would however be in need of hearing aids.

Sometimes you don't have time to put on hearing protection, I'd rather be deaf than dead! You wouldn't have to listen from all the nagging by the old lady either.

I think your first line nailed it....

You are reading way too into it... its a photo shoot. While you have a point, this is not a training aid or operational pic.

Interesting that AI is advertising with an atlas bipod instead of an AI bipod.

Cuz the Atlas is awesome.

I agree with Knight11B, it's just a pic, a pretty cool picture actually, I made it my background photo.

oh no! he's gonna ruin that nice interior! but yeah, as others have said, it's just a photo op. Also, as was stated before, no glass would be broken if a shot was fired. Shooting "through"/ on cars is fun!

But if this was an actual situation, I would want to double up and use both plugs and muffs.

G-Ride or rental, that leather would be toast.

Had to show that eberlestock too

It's a marketing picture and not a training photo... get over it.

it's like the idiots on Facebook who looked at this marketing picture I took for AI and said they would never buy a rifle that shot groups like this. They actually thought the target was an actual representation of the groups shot by the rifle.

It's marketing, it's a staged picture...

It was not meant as a statement of fact.

All the guy in the picture had to do was throw on some eyes and ears, the car will survive, just get a bit dirty. As others have noted, it's not his car to worry about.

 

[RobertB]

Lowlight, so your saying that's not a normal 150 round group from that gun? At maybe 1000 yards away. LOL

 

[Mark williams]

Freakin awsome rifles whatever their ads are like.

 

[Papa Zero Three]

Having had a guy sitting next to me squeeze off a round at a target from inside of a pick up truck with no ear pro on I can say that yeah ,it sucks but its not ear bleeding,end of the world as some would think.

As has been stated, this is clearly a staged photo for marketing purposes ......Do you even snipe bro?

You mean that the world won't come to an end if you fire off a round without hearing protection?

Shocked....

Yes, I understand its marketing. I didnt think the pic was taken from a seal team six covert op. Ha.No, I am not a sniper nor do I claim to be. My post was based on my experiences shooting at indoor ranges that allow high powered rifles and trying to imgine what would happen if this guy pulled the trigger. I have never shot a rifle in a car, hopefully will never have to, but it is hard to believe nothing serious would happen to your hearing as one response eludes to. Then again, people rely on ARs for home defense.

I am not advocating one sit in a car/truck and shoot all day with out earpro but one or two shots isn't the end of the world or your hearing. In fact, I think some of the indoor ranges I've been in are far worse for your hearing and at amplifying sound than from a shot inside of a vehicle.
