that's why I don't buy safety equipment from a vendor that stocks it right beside the knockoff gear, unless it's known to be legit gear. Airsoft goods are so sketch, why would anyone trust something so pivotal to the hands of the lowest bidder from a company that has the ability to disappear over night and suddenly and reappear somewhere else under a new name?


I don't put it past those knockoff companies to stamp a fake ansi on that shit either.


remember what you pay for in the 55$ product vs the 30$ clone is that the product has gone through a certification process and is deemed to meet that standard. Not because it's of a certain shape, thickness or material. It's because the company of manufacture has produced a consistent product that sends regular and or random samples to be tested for the requirements of meeting that certification level before getting that stamp or engraving.

Sadly though, a lot of idiots and noobs will still look to save every dollar they can and buy the shit. Sights and magpul accessories are one thing... but they're your FUCKING eyes.
