Xtreme guns!

another48hrs · December 26, 2002, 07:23 PM

Watch out tactical guns you've got a run for your money xtreme guns is where it's, at boo yah, grandma boo yah! Nothing like taking your x-treme xd for a ride in your xterra going down to go catch the x-games while wondering what happened to the XFL.

Please view the flash movie on this page, its a riot.

After watching that movie, I'm wondering if I shouldn't move this thread to the "High Energy Disco" forum...

rock jock · December 26, 2002, 07:38 PM

Great, now the gun makers are marketing towards the Generation X attention-deficit crowd.

**4v50 Gary** · December 26, 2002, 07:46 PM

Interesting comment rock jock. Gen. X has a short attention span. The old dog in me is thinking, get them to buy one, get them interested in a newer toy, have them sell us their guns cheap. Old age and treachery always prevails over youth and energy.

"High Energy Disco" forum..

Can you point me in the direction of this " H.E.D." forum ?

Orion · December 26, 2002, 09:19 PM

WTF????

I guess I'm just too damn old for this kinda crap.

I don't see this gun in my future.

2nd Amendment · December 26, 2002, 09:59 PM

Yeah buddy, that's just the kinda ad gonna make me buy sumpin'.

*sigh*

Chugach · December 26, 2002, 10:03 PM

He he he.

As long as they end with a full-frame spec sheet that stays still, I got no problem with it!

That intro movie?
Hold on a sec... I have to pop a few Exhedrine Migrane tablets...
Wait... Gotta wrap my skull in duct-tape to keep my head from exploding...

There we go... hold on... yeah... I'm okay now.

762x51 · December 26, 2002, 11:19 PM

Wow...that just about gave me a seisure.

SIGarmed · December 26, 2002, 11:23 PM

Well now when Springfield decides to release one in .45ACP I'll buy it.

C.R.Sam · December 26, 2002, 11:52 PM

That was a cold move George

Nosferatu · December 26, 2002, 11:57 PM

There's always room for another gun. As long as the manufacturers are making them, and as long as we are buying them, the world will be a happy place!

C.R.Sam · December 27, 2002, 12:09 AM

As long as we CAN buy them

Sam

eviltravis · December 27, 2002, 12:27 AM

I just watched the add. I... I feel so strange...

Must........ buy................ XD.
Must buy XD.

MUST BUY XD!

George Hill · December 27, 2002, 12:29 AM

Is it just me, or is a tactical light on a subcompact fricken retarded?

That is like putting low profile tires and alloy rims on a Geo Metro.

*sigh*
Some people just get silly over that kinda thing. Other than that light (so lame...) this little XD is one VERY COOL pistol. I LOVE this gun. I love the 5 inch version. I love this subcompact even more.
Why isn't this in .40 and .357 like the others?

AR-10 · December 27, 2002, 12:32 AM

Icky.

C.R.Sam · December 27, 2002, 12:37 AM

Better on a Geo Metro ...
Than on a Nash Metro.

Sam

45R · December 27, 2002, 12:42 AM

When I think of Xtreme gun I think of something a little more rugged then a Mini XD9.

Maybe an XD454Casual....that would be Xtreme

another48hrs · December 27, 2002, 12:55 AM

I think its just ridiculous throwing around the word xtreme! I just saw a commercial for Xtreme Cops hahaha! Now I'm off to go play my Xbox lol.

Nosferatu · December 27, 2002, 01:34 AM

Their marketing seems to be directed at a younger crowd. They wan tthe people who are turning 21 and are fairly new to firearms. They already have a bunch of old farts buying their 1911's. They want to start em young then keep selling them products throughout their lives. Brand loyalty with firearms seems as strong as brand loyalty with cars in the US.

Sylvilagus Aquaticus · December 27, 2002, 02:36 AM

EEEEF!

I made the mistake of watching BOTH of them back to back. If I start having seizures from the repetitive flashing patterns, do I sue the gun manufacturers, the computer compay, or my ISP?

disco sucks.

"Welcome to the 7-11 school of Clerking/Beauty/Marketing. Repeat after me " Welcome to ________, can we help you?"

The little XD does little for me ....then again Glocks never did anything for me either.....oh well.

Watch the ADHD comments.....some of our kids are like that and some of them got it from US!

Shoot well

JMax · December 27, 2002, 10:42 AM

Don’t care for the marketing. Cool gun. Probably wouldn’t buy the light.
