      This. I guess a lot of morons have gotten used to skating by on safety and instructions though.

      if it's such a marginal design that those tiny flutes cause it to fail, then it's shit.

      None of my rifle chambers are fluted. If not being able to use it in some gun I'll never have or use saved me 40% weight and cost then frick yes I'd use it. Nothing stops you from continuing to pay for brass.

        Yeah, you can use other ammo in fluted chambers just fine. I guess in the future ammo boxes are going to come with instruction manuals and big labels that say "READ MANUAL BEFORE USE" printed all over.

          People accept way more compromises than that though anon for certain performance. Lots of stuff in firearms involves tradeoffs, nothing new there. It's only a question of if it's worth it or not for a given budget/use case. Lots of people love semi-auto shotguns for example, but they often won't work with anything but 00 buck full size. No minis or oddball sandbag rounds or whatever that pumps work with. Is that an issue or not? No right answer. Or look at all the eternal debates on /k/ when it comes to optics. Even for ammo, not all handguns can handle overpressure loads.

          Not that TV shit in particular is likely to ever be worth it, it's ded with them losing NGSW. But somebody is going to figure out a good hybrid telescoped cartridge at some point. On the scale of tradeoffs "no fluted chambers" would be pretty minimal. Just like with old guns right now you'll be able to keep using older ammo and loads.

        This, yes he's a moron, but part about making a good gun is removing the need to think from the equation. If firearms designers could make a gun that flawlessly hits your target on grunts and vague gestures alone they would.

          With smart guns they're working on it. That tech demo 10 years ago for talon precision or whatever they were called was pretty damn impressive.

            Imagine AI targeting where a computer reads your eye movement and knows based on training off your own biological inputs what you want to hit and then fires the gun.

          No, that's just part of having standards. This is like making new 10W-30 motor oil that somehow breaks compatibility with some popular engines that were designed to use 10W-30, and could cause engine failure if you use it in a vehicle with one of those engines. It straight up shouldn't be on the market.

          Case failure like in the OP can blow up your gun. That's absolutely not comparable to a semi auto shotgun not cycling well without full power loads. Over pressure handgun ammo is specifically marked +P or +P+ right next to the caliber because that's extremely fricking important information.

            If your theoretical purchaser is too moronic to not know to use poly case ammo in a fluted chamber, like every other poly case ammo that's ever been on the market, what makes you think they'd know what +P means or whether it's safe for their gun.

                I'd expect them to read about a radical weird new ammo before sticking it in a rando gun. I mean, it's not like they fricking hide this, it's right there on the site under "safety":

                Nobody who is newguns is going to know about "+P" either without learning about it somehow.

                The ammo is still shit for other reasons though.

                Anon, +P ammo is one of the things that gets listed in the manual for a gun for whether or not you can shoot it. You don't need to go to the manufacturer's website, find the "safety information" section, and watch a video because morons at the company are too full of themselves to present answers in text form like normal people. This is ammo, not chinkshit off one of the various internet chinkshit marketplaces.

                This would never be accepted. Anyone aware of the case would stop buying oil from that manufacturer because that isn't something you should need to check for, and there's a good chance the government would get involved.

                This has happened and it was big news. Now there are several oil standards that different manufacturers specify, and they can deny you a warranty claim if and when the oil that comes out of your grenaded engine isn't the correct spec.

                It's all moot because it's just an allegory you're using but it's worth mentioning because you could be out a car for not knowing.

                You know what, no it didn't happen. Use any oil in your white crossover that you like. I'm sure nothing bad will happen, and I definitely won't enjoy the frick out of denying your warranty claim.

      Dunno who that is, but don't be a moron anon, I'd assume they're talking about the potential. All ammo manufacturing ultimate cost is based heavily on scale. It's not like 9mm is somehow inherently cheaper and uses less material than .32 ACP, yet it costs half as much, that's because of scale. If TV (or Textron) had won and army had ordered tens to hundreds of millions of rounds things would have worked towards their lower bound cost, and polymer is a lot cheaper than brass is. Since they lost it's instead a novelty.

      Personally I'm ok with it losing. Despite the weight and performance advantages it's not biodegradable from what I could tell, which means even more feminizing plastic shit everywhere. Brass is known, reliable, and safe. Pick it up if you want to reload/sell/scrap or not leave a mess and be polite, but if you miss a round innawoods no problem. It's just brass. Frick the chemical companies trying to castrate us all.

        the standard deviation on velocity should be highest now when it’s made in the smallest quantities with presumably the largest amount of QC
        the fact that the velocity consistency is shit NOW is indicative that it doesn’t have a huge accuracy potential
        the fact that it was out of spec for the primers NOW is indicative that it doesn’t have a huge potential for reliability

          Uh, it's pretty fricking obvious, and WAY MORE obvious then a little "+P" stamped in tiny letters at the bottom of a cartridge, that some ammo is fricking polymer anon. If you're using a brand new radical ammo type then yes, you should take some time to learn about it.

    Looks like they ran it in a G3, which is known to make brass unusable from extraction force. This is a nothingburger, show me case separation in an AR-10 and it's flawed. Not even saying it's not flawed, but this is cherry picking.

    Fricks sake, I forgot how much of a hack he is. True Velocity will be a meme unless or until they scale production to deliver on all those CPR promises, if that even is enough to do that, but this is a farce of a review.

      This. And the answer to "until they scale production to deliver on all those CPR promises" is probably "they won't" imo. But the review is still moronic.
