FX FX Leopard

Yeah huge boo boo in my opinion. He should know the product top to bottom and inside and out. I mean I know 10 seconds of stuff about this gun and knew what he was holding wasn’t the 500 mm. Lol.
Sweet looking gun and priced right for what it is. I won’t be able to swing one but hope to live vicariously through others experiences. 😀
You really think a sponsored/paid review (whether in $ or free gun) actually KNOWS the gun?! And even if, would mention negatives/downsides?

Well the negatives absolutely not. However if I’m the owner of a very large company and the biggest importer in the U.S. for product x I’m absolutely knowing my product top to bottom and inside out as my livelihood depends on it. With that said I’m pretty sure he knows the product super well actually and this is a mistake that made it through editing. A little harsh to say mis information like that shouldn’t slip through….maybe but I stand by it. Especially for a brand new to market product.

100%. And like you said, honest and innocent mistake. Just saying that it is a promotion rather than a review and done like one, meaning with a different level of diligence.

I think that if anything they would bank on us believing it was an honest mistake on their part. But given that the footage gets reviewed more than just once or twice, this could have been corrected in the editing, they could have redone that shoot stating that it isn't a five hundred millimeter or made the correction when shooting that scene with editing.
 
I've been trying to like what FX is laying down here and... Nope. Can't do it. The DRS classic is at least presentable. And I don't mind a tactical rifle layout, per se. But these bullpups (not just from FX, but across all of the top tier manufacturers) really are revolting.
I see so many missed opportunities to produce a more thoughtful, graceful product. This does not inspire me to part with my money.
