What's wrong with this picture

[jblomenberg16]

I was reading through the Bravo Company catalog (version 9), and noticed something odd in the picutre on page 7.

My scanner doesn't want to work, so I took a picture of it.

Look closely through the opening in the upper, and pay attention to the bolt and round.

At first I thought it was an "action" shot, and it captured a round chambering, or just ejecting. But after further looking, the finger is off the trigger, so it is unlikely the action is cycling.

Looks to me that this guy has a jam that needs to be cleared.

Jam-o-matic

That's probably why the picture is on the same page as the "Crane O rings"

Wow, now thats what I call bad advertising. How in the world did they miss that? That was the fist thing I saw on the picture, it sorta leapt out at me.

 

[jblomenberg16]

Wonder if I e-mail them and tell them about it...they'll send me a free upper?

I doubt these catalogs were actually designed by people who knew what they were looking at.

Maybe you guys are serverly underestimating the shooter. He pulled the trigger, then took his finger off the trigger and is SAFELY watching his round hit the target.

 

[tv1217]

Well, then he's really quick and so is the shutter speed on the camera.

Maybe some here will remember the HK advertisment showing rounds loaded backward in a pistol mag. Definately an ad man with no firearms experience. Humorous to us but I would guess HK was not laughing.

Same here, it's the selling point, i think.

Or maybe it was an 'accident', and the company that produces the magazine favors the AK-47? The world will never know...

Oh yeah! I remember that pic. Here's the ad shot as it went to print
and appeared:

I guess they're not the only ones:

Its even worse for the pistol training website. Its like saying they are going to train you to put the round in wrong.

perhaps they are advertising why you would need those parts

Perhaps, but all the other pictures in the catalog are action shots of the gear on that page being used, such as railed handguards, optics, etc.

I kinda think this one was an OOPS!

 

[Shoots4Fun]

Those ads are insane. I can't believe they'd give them to the printers before having someone technical review the drafts. I can understand the advertising agencies not catching it I guess, but not the people from the training group or the manufacturers. Even ANYONE from the manufacturers could catch that in the photos of the loaded magazines. It jumps right off the page.

It did give me a good laugh this evening, so thanks for that...

I'm waiting for other ones you guys have found...

Hmm guess I'm the only one who noticed he is shooting right handed and wearing a watch on his right arm(normally done by left handed people).

I do that. I just find it more comfortable. That, and I think Im a tad bit more dexterous with my left hand when it comes to small things like shirt buttons, watch clips, etc.

HA!


Editor fail on the ad. Just not paying attention to the details.
Probably wanted an action shot and did not look to close.

You would be amazed at the kind of mistakes that can slip past
on a printed piece. Even with multiple people looking at it and
proof reading several times (including customer proof reading)
some sscrew ups still sneak past occasionally.
