Anyone who's been to the Armored Fist news page will know that we've been doing promotional work with our Tiger for the upcoming PBLI Big Game. We've actually fired off more nerf rockets in the past couple of weeks in parking lots showing off the cannon than we ever had in the field. It's a great attention getter in addition to the sheer size and look of our tank. Plus in a 'parking lot environment' we've got a nearly 100% recovery of the rockets so the cost per shot is merely the air used for firing. We did have someone walk off with one rocket so far. Also being out in public with this lowering the velocity doesn't really mean anything to the people looking on so it's probably a lot safer than firing one in the field plus we make sure that everyones attention is on the cannon and noone wants to get in front of it hahaha. So even if you never use one in a game it might be something to think about if you get involved in showing off in public. We're hoping to actually get our tank to a car show this year. Which is something we've been talking about for years. I think firing nerfs in these type of situations is better than paintballs.
