Interesting Ad from Kel Tec....
What the heck is going on in this thread? Apparently, somehow, making fun of an ad that damn well deserves to be made fun of equates to condemning the character and judgement of every person who owns products made by that company.

That's just silly

I'm just joking around. I own 2 Kel-Tecs and have had no problems with either one.

Perhaps if I'm deciding to cut off my right arm. I don't know if it's worth it.

I like the fact that it only weighs 5 pounds.

LOL I would have liked to be a fly on the wall for that marketing meeting where they thought up and approved that ad.

Well, they do ads just like they do guns.

In their defense, I worked at a very high volume gun shop for a friend. I sold lots of Kel-Tec products, and never had one complaint from buyers. They were light and went bang every time. They met the buyers requirements perfectly.

I'd rather drink urine than die. You can eat your poo if you have to. The nutritional value will be low, and if you double eat it, lower still. I researched all this crap Big Grin about a year ago for some reason.

No one posted the advertisement's fine print: . . . on a dare . . .

The KelTec line of pocket guns all read as DAO. Hmmmm, I'd try one out for the heck of it.

I guess I had not opened that issue yet, just did this evening. I don't own one, and I can't say anything bad about them as I have mixed feelings towards them. They are out of Cocoa Beach, and Cocoa Beach was hit hard by the almost death of the space industry. Cocoa is making a comeback these days. It was sad driving through in the past few years looking at all the closed doors.

Yeah, I would have chosen a purple-on-black keffiyah. A bit more whimsical yet sublimely understated.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? All I can think is FG-42. Thankfully, it threads off and is replaceable with a standard muzzle device.

I'll be honest, I love weird space guns and this thing appeals to me purely because it's so weird. But their marketing is God-awful. Pee-drinking remarks at the range? Gotta look forward to that on top of the general commentary, so that's awesome. They're making it more difficult for a reasonable person to want to buy one with this ad campaign.

Fair enough, but if I'm lost at sea then what exactly do I need a Kel Tec for?


I have tried but I cannot figure out what the heck you are trying to say here. I assume something funny but I don't get it. My intent was to say if you cannot carry a full size carbine in a certain situation, the the collapsable sub 2000 might be better than having nothing. Like the argument to carry a mouse gun when you can verses not carrying a full size pistol.

I'm not an ancient Greek philosopher or a medieval European doctor, and I'm not into Ayurvedic medicine, so the only circumstances under which I could even vaguely imagine drinking my own urine would be if I were lost at sea and had absolutely no access to potable water.
