210: The EOTECH OGL Controversy

Art and War investigates the EOTECH OGL! Joining B.R and Nathan to discuss the OGL laser controversy is Brandon, Cyber Security analyst, former gun counter employee and the guest behind our Sig P320 investigation episode. Brandon shares his investigation into the recently released EOTECH OGL Civilian laser model, and all is not as it seems. From a wildly inflated price compared to what was originally discussed when first previewed to possible 'white labeling' and a South Korean origin of the OGL, rather than a new American made design. The lads get into why this is an issue, with EOTECH currently providing the 'Country of Origin' as 'Assembled in USA' which fails to tell the whole story, their weak social media responses on the inflated pricing, origin, and capabilities and why people in our space must consciously vote with their wallet instead of blindly consuming. All that, and much more!

All information discussed is open source and available to anyone with an internet connection, documents can be found below for reference and independent assessment.

Any legal action pursued due to this episode will be met with memes. :)
