While I personally don't feel likely to purchase this, it's definitely interesting.

Indeed it would seem. A buddy of mine posted this and it looked too good to be true. I now see why. :tiphat:

It was a good one though!! Especially when all of the "engineers" suddenly jumped up to start working on it. I'll bet we could get the Libs to get on board as part of the new "smart" technology. Then the police could pull the recordings and see exactly how someone got shot. :biggrinjester:

Doing an April fools joke the day before is cheating.

But I might be making a few phone calls at 2 AM tonight.

"rlol" "rlol" "rlol" I watched until the bullet flight came on. No bullet rotation. :lol: The only spin is when the Vortex spokesman speaks.

I'm sure the tiny camera is on a tiny gyro.

I bought a box to check them out. I decided to open up one of the cartridges to take a look at their "special propellant."
When I opened it up, inside was a little piece of paper with my fortune written on it. :shock:

The Chinese are working on a competing technology for tracking bullet flight.

Wonder how much he's getting paid to just sit there? Wonder what kinda benefits he's getting, health care, retirement, etc. Wonder what rate of turn over they have for that position?

I would be concerned about the people in the building behind the fence.

I have had some fun with this one already and two of my sons took it hook, line and sinker. Sure hope they don't pass it on as truth, but of course that is what I did to them. Not quite as good as George Plimpton's Sports Illustrated article on Sidd Finch decades ago. If you don't know about that article, look it up on Google. We have a local reporter that "attempts" to write similar stories about this time of year. Thanks for the laugh and I'm not done yet.
