[QUOTE="sierra22, post: 20553, member: 949"] Incredible that such a post can generate such hostility. If I were trying to pushing my own products I would understand it, but when providing general reference???? The test and description of the test criterias runs over 10 typed pages, so there’s a bit too much work to translate all of that and post them on this forum (sorry herbeapuce,jeffintx and bigg270). However, I will post the scoring scales. Any further questions regarding the test can be adressed Vapentidningen as I have no interest defending it.
