Regardless of the information being something that most of us airsofters know, its nice to see a major guy in the Industry recognizing the use of airsoft for training.

He holds them by the side, even his M4 which has a VFG. But, you are older and wiser than me, so i guess you're right :P

If you look closely, he "wraps" his hand around the vertical grip and the handguard. This helps you keep the gun firmly against your shoulder, fight the recoil and control the barrel rise.

Try it, you'd be amazed how well it works.

Don't you have to own a decent rifle first?

Hmm, I can see how that would work V. I would try it, but my [censored] M4 doesn't have an RIS.

Extend your arm all the way to the front of the handguard, wrap your hand around it. It's the same principle.

Be careful not to touch the barrel or the gas block.

Did you mean to say reputable? IF so then yes he is correct TM's are extremely reputable as long as they are left stock and not messed with. They will outlast most any other guns stock as long as you are not an idiot with them

He's saying it funny in the vid, pronouncing it repable. I figured he meant repable, but wasn't entirely sure.

You make no sense, but why should I expect more?

EDIT: Bird's the word... I mean well, I really do. No this isn't an apology. I am sure the guy was nervous in the video and probably just got hung up in spitting out the numerous syllables of the word re/pu/ta/ble (four to be exact). A valid point was made in showing the Former CEO had a speech impediment in his film and we shouldn't hold that against him. Thank you.
