This morning we received a rather in-appropriately timed phone call from the <416> area code. This image tells us that we should tally our expenditures to date. Scott was the name of our first Hi Fi salesman. He worked at the Sony Store, and ran his own import-export business. At home, he had the best Sony had to offer. Not Sony Canada, but items reserved for inside Japan. Could that be where our Japanophile influence came from...
Now a gun (except in gold-plated, or silver-carved (engraved form)), is not a fashion item. Canada, not being a gun culture, we know this is not the case. It is an instrument of death. We like the grip on the handle, and abhor the foam (what looks to be foam) on the muzzle. We like the 30-round clip. It looks a bit long, but one could say that is a starter specification for a magazine.
The end of the barrel looks a bit like a cable-end on a Linea No. 2 by Caeden, in Convex Carbon and Gunmetal, we'd say.
Is carbon used in the magazine? Non on the gun, much, due to political, or shall we say, fragmentary reasons, we imagine, nor much here at our lovely magazine.
We're not Adbusters, but we do much to sore the sight. Sore the sight of poor products, that is, not much on this gun.
Besides the look of foam on the 7" chamber, we don't like what looks to be a too small hole at the end - this has to fire water, not bullets we think.
And, as the case turns out to be - we're right. It's a '22. Now gun-lover say that the 22 is the gun of the Apocalypse in that the rounds are small, affordable, plentiful, and also quite cheap. It's not we'd say is a large-bore weapon.
You're not going to shoot a Rhino - more strawberries at this range.

Scott was a man, as we call him. He didn't have the R10 King (it wasn't out yet, the MDR-R10 by Sony), but he did have the DAS-R1 and the CDP-R1 to go with it. Was he dashing? No, but he was more friendly than you would expect any one to be - he made friends with his customers - and he sailed into sales - you wonder why a guy would wear a suit at a mall. He didn't have the SS-R10 Loudspeaker, or the TA-NR1, or R10 for that matter, but he did have a massively sized double 8" sub-woofer, and a separate Sony CDP-X777 ES cd-player for headphones only, not to mention a massive home theater set, properly calibrated (ISF) by himself.
Besides ourselves, he sold to a guy who not only had 5 PSB Stratus Golds, but 5 Velodyne F1500R's - one for each speaker. Perhaps that's where we got our love of bass.
Those with a penchant for the lucky 8, may check out the Clarion Stereo Machinegun, or get themselves a second 416, should luck not be an issue.
