No personal experience.

I can only say that I read reports (can't remember where) and the results didn't match the manufacturer's claims. No real "shock" there though.

On the other hand, their web page is really nice and that image on the home page is AWESOME!
(some people find this to be the best way to judge a company/product. I'm in advertising. I'm not easily fooled by "presentation". On the OTHER, other hand, when you see "extremely" good advertising, it usually means the company is doing SOMETHING right if it can afford the high-end visuals.

Hope someone else has some experience with them. I've always been curious.

Edit to add: Ahhhh... yes, theboxoftruth.com! Probably one of the reviews I read.

That picture on their webpage is probably the most ridicoulous firearm related picture I've ever seen, and not conductive of high quality marketing in my book.

Just look at the dude on the right.. its the same guy as the one on the left, except they brought him into photoshop and made him "dark". ROFL!

Matter of fact, its the same guy multiplied three times.

Thats just rad.

I guess I should clarify...
what I meant is that to the uninformed, wanna-be types, it's AWESOME!
Doooooode, that shit is ____________ !!!(insert current trendy word here)

I think it depends on the intended target audience...
I view it as trying to overly impress me with it's "badness" (Oooooh!) and therefore, I tend to move on to other products that seem more reputable.

My guess is that the intended audience IS impressed with the "flashy" image on the homepage and will therefore step inside to find out "how do I get me sum o' that shit?"

I could be wrong. It happened once before.
