    What vehicle(s) did you use? What laser guns? Sounds like a thorough test.

    Shoot, maybe we sent you shoe polish by mistake.

    I suppose Tom must be relieved now that he's not selling shoe polish any more.

    Sorry Bob but is that all you have? No explanation or concern g5 is not working as advertised?
    One of the worst things you can be in life is blindly obedient to authority. It’s a forfeiture of your personhood—an acknowledgement of your nothingness.

    Bob this is not helping your cause. People are going to start thinking you are selling magic shoe polish. Without the magic. Do you have any idea what is going on? If not your first production run maybe your last.

    The issue with G4 and I have not tested G5 yet is that its benefits were had at long range. For example without VEIL being clocked at 3800FT and G4 was able to reduce those ranges almost 50% and could have reduced PT range to lets say 1800ft. If you are on a 1000ft course you will not be able to see any benefit. Again I can only speak of G4 as I have not tested G5 yet.

    VG, why does the vehicle matter? You mean they didn't use a C7 Vette with swept back headlights and no front plates? Shouldn't matter.

    Yeah, both of us were just really unimpressed, and directly on a plate, just looks like a dirty plate, and if you don't layer it out far enough it just looks dark. He brought up a really good point through, why not make it an aerosol? then you can just tape off the area and spray.
