There are times when Jeff says "I don't know what this gun is good for" but he always adds "but I like it."

The purpose and value of Gunblast is that it informs you of the existence of a gun that may be new, and tells you the features. It's not really a review.

nobody's mentioned hating gunsblast, simply that it's no more legitimate/honest than any other gun rag that relies on the contributions of manufacturers. do you believe everything you read about a pistol in "guns&ammo" as well?

Let me get this right. You start a poll asking if folks go this website. You get responses to your thread. People that disagree with you are labeled/demonized.

Where I have I seen this before?

Only when they spew garbage that isn't true.

Uh, no. Where did I say anything about believing everything I read??? For the record, I carefully scrutinize everything I read, online and in print. I take what I can use and leave the rest, preferring to use my own logic and reason, rather than swallowing whatever I read hook, line and sinker. I would no sooner buy a firearm strictly by what I read in a magazine article than I would by what some anonymous internet character said. Anymore than I would buy anything by what the salesman said. I just don't labor under the illusion that internet message boards are "pure truth", like some folks seem to believe.

PS, G&A has not been worth the paper it's printed on since Seyfried left.
 
I've watched him a couple of times. It is short and to the point, no excessive blabbing like some other youtubers out there. I feel like jeff is honest but if he recieved a t&e gun and didn't like it would he really say something bad about it? He's never said a negative thing about anything he's touched.
Atleast hickok45 will say he doesn't like the sights out of the box, or the trigger is just "ok", or its not enough for me to leave glock. Hickok seems more believable IMO.
 
you're right, and we're all wrong, craigC

No but YOU are wrong.

Alright then, provide evidence that gunwriters receive bribes and guns for free. Because otherwise, you're just belching hot air and fumes with ZERO fact to back up your diatribe.
 
I don't need to "see" BS when I can "smell" it so I don't need "proof" to know it's there. I just watch my every step...
 
So you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, just by reading reviews and watching YouTube videos that gunwriters take bribes from manufacturers???

Boy, if only folks like Skeeter Skelton, Elmer Keith, Townsend Whelen, Jack O'Connor, Ross Seyfried, John Taffin, Brian Pearce, Dennis Adler, Charles Askins, Julian Hatcher, etc. all knew that for all their hard work and lifelong dedication, they would be remembered as criminals in the end.

You guys beat all I ever seen in my life.

I gotta agree with this.
The guy is showing off the Boy Scout .22 Ruger semi-auto, and he likes that one, he is buying that and another for his grandson, and perhaps a couple more, "just because?"

People don't buy that many guns unless they are getting them at a darned-good rate, IMHO.

You mean the version where I require proof before I believe some nonsense belched by some anonymous internet character???

At least gunwriters use their names, their real names, their full names and have two things you don't. Credibility and accountability.

Again, tell us all why exactly we should believe the whole bribery theory? Because in most circles, you have to have supporting evidence. You simply deflect with one-liner personal comments directed towards me. You guys are so transparent it's laughable.

Put up or shut up.

Most gunwriters have an FFL and pay wholesale prices.

According to your own statement, and the definition of an FFL, you are stating that most GUNWRITERS ARE, IN FACT, DIFFERENT than most typical gun-purchasing public, in that the gun-purchasing public does not have the luxury of looking through any catalog they want and buying everything shipped to their door at a wholesale price, many times being direct from the manufacturer!

You said it in one sentence that most gunwriters are in no way like ordinary citizens who must go to a store and purchase a gun at RETAIL!

I think if Automotive companies sold me brand new cars to test and I could buy anything I want, at below wholesale, I certainly would not want to say anything negatively against them as they might stop the gravy-train!

I see it all now, with your one sentence.:D
Some would consider it a sham.:cuss:

Thank you very much for clearing things up -- you have made me finally understand HOW THEY (gunwriters, in general) OPERATE!

Definition of Sham:

trick that deludes; hoax; cheap falseness; hypocrisy; hollowness

aren't you "some anonymous internet character" as well?


you obviously have some sort of personal stake in the discussion, you hinted at knowing the quinns, and apparently this relationship prevents you from thinking realistically on the matter.

you are unable to accept the fact that gun rag writers receive free hardware to test and/or receive advertising money from the manufacturer. the "free hardware" is then either sent back or purchased by the writer most likely at cost or at least wholesale. in return, they give everything a good review.

it's not a hard concept to grasp (for most) ;)

I didn't see things as being argued, I saw what I think are real concerns and facts to back up those concerns and some people who apparently don't like to hear what seems to be the truth, for whatever reason.

I agree, let's not argue, let's all agree on something.
 
What's black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white and black and white?
