A different point: a phone in that mode burns battery like a madman. You don’t get hours of use out of it.

I can’t imagine that anyone would leave their phone attached to their gun routinely, and in an emergency situation I can’t imagine anyone taking the time to mount their phone on the gun.

Wow.

I think my favorite part is the “Adjust for windage!” (dart strikes four inches to the right of the reticle), “Chose your favorite reticle!” (dart strikes four inches to the right of reticle), “Something something tactical!” (dart strikes four inches to the right of the POA).

Comedy.

About the only value to this is recording your nerf attack on unsuspecting office co-workers, of course the recording may serve as the basis for some sort of HR chat, but hey.

Funny how our perceptions are coloured by our perceptions . . .

jtg, I think we know our host isn’t that clueless, he trains people because he knows that bad guys are out there. And I think if they came to his door they would be in for a bad day. That said, I think he did suffer a bit of a brain cramp in this case. We cannot ever assume the perps will act according to our version of rationallity.

Carry a roll of dimes. They aren’t illegal, although I’m sure the UK’s 1953 offensive weapons act would find fault.

These guys are demonstrably stupid, and you casually expect them to be rational about losing tens of thousands of dollars of their investment?

Do you honestly thin that they will not do anything in their power to recover their investment? Should they expect that your subject turned the delivery over to the police, rather than keeping it for his own purpose?

Drug Dealers operate under the basic assumption that everyone is as twisted as they are.

I consider your dismissive attitude to be ill-conceived and poorly expressed. No, strike that last; you probably said exactly what you mean.

One can only hope that the home-owner doesn’t listen to your dismissive slight on his character. You apparently consider him to be a Wimp.

I think he’s a survivor. Or at least he might be, if he ignores your judgement.

Gee, are you really that entirely clueless that you would expect him to be safe because he claims to have turned the drugs over to the cops?

Good thing they didn’t leave their deliver on YOUR front door isn’t it?
