Yo... Mountain View... me too.

Haha cool! What are the chances?

Wow... what's with all the empty popcorn boxes around here and why does it smell like bacon?

Caliber really is pretty cool! The Sterling too, but it doesn't hit'ya in the chest as hard as a large Caliber weapon. Sure were some explosive rounds zinging around here today.

Excellent video under extreme conditions! Great to finally see what you're brewing up for us.

Cute Halloween constume.

What the heck is poutine? Can i hand that out for Halloween, maybe covered with Nutella?

Frak that, the Mako Mini has a lame battery (14250). Pretty uncool of them to raise a public stink about flat bottom buttoned devices, entertaining, but uncool.

LOL...way to catch up on the thread happenings!

I realize you've already had many discussions and probably have put a lot of thought into this yourself. While I really like The Caliber and would LOVE a free unit, if there was a good lizard-based name in the poll, I might just vote for it instead to prolong the lizard tradition. This is just one of many opinions and in the end, this is obviously your business and it's up to you what direction to lead it towards.

Anyways, hope all is well with the family, good night! (Haha very cute outfit!)
You know Dillinger, a good friend once told me: "One person can't possibly do everything for a successful business. A team will always be a necessity." He used his co-workers in his business for example: "If our sales-rep was in charge of web based marketing, we would fail. If our IT guy was in charge of customer phone calls, we would fail." The way I always seen it from the beginning is that I'm here for the people and their needs, their thoughts and idea's is what drives us to progress as if acting as a team. Your guys' input is far more valuable then you think as everything is and always will be taken into consideration. From good to bad things they're all experiences and trials that help us evolve into a better company to service everyone and anyone who is willing to change their life for the better.

As for the unit, I was thinking about it late last night, to look at it like a good sequel to a great movie. In that sequel, you will see old time favorite lines being used or revered specific actions along with the new and exciting atmosphere. The Green scaley type finish will Definitely be something along the lines of Chameleon edition (mid-way through that sentence, I envisioned a Chameleon transitioning paint :D )
As for the Caliber, just the way you described your initial thoughts was a trigger (lol hate bad puns) that really rocked my world. The quick naming scheme was a fly off the handle moment with 22 and 308. With more thought, it would be more like Pistol,Magnum and so on, but even then it's just a rough idea that may never surface as a 14500 model just being called Caliber 14/14-5/145 or 18650 model being named Caliber 186.
Besides did you know this called the Dillinger Tommy gun? :D

Wow! Now thats a good morning post!
Guess after last night it could be called the Instigator!
LOL Well said!
Val just fired off a few names via txt. Endeavor, Endeavor.
Hmmm Devour

I want to get started on a poll, but we need an organized thread to sum up and by whom, but I'm not sure how to go about it because of having an ungodly amount of entries, it could be an overall nightmare. :(

I do believe after a shark skewering these are available:

Neuticles.com

"Dear Neuticles,

"I had my standard Dachshund, Bruno, neutered six months ago using Neuticles. I am very glad that I did so. Bruno has the same look as before and I am extremely pleased with the results" Enough said :D

Issac! What a thing to wake up to! I about lost my coffee on my keyboard ROFL! Sheeees LOL

Thinking about the name game, Manufacturers try to use words that are commonly used every day to create a memory association that also describes the product. like, Apple, silver bullet, windows, etc.

I like the caliber. But it is not a commonly used stand alone phrase.
On the other hand , this one is a commonly use phrase, and looks quite a bit like the mod itself.Alter the shape on the bottom button just a little and it is a even closer match.

Now I am aware that someone has actually modded one of the actual bullet casings, but I am unaware of anyone commercially using the name.

The 50 Cal

As for a poll, take the names you already have here and stick them in a poll, make it easy,
Theres a few good ones already,

No worries Smokinduece, actually I think people show their mods and want to discuss it with anyone who might have concerns or just plain curious. In the end this was handled very nice.
High five to both of you.:)


You're right Aspen I hadn't thought of it like that... a high 10 and a thankyou back to you for seeing both sides of the story! :)
