Once upon a time this might have been okay. Once upon a time you might survive using one of these in public. Not anymore.

But what the hey! It might attract some gunners to photography! It's got tactical rails for mounting accessories and the wonderful vest the model is wearing just screams PHOTOGRAPHER!

Can you imagine covering a political rally with one of these?????

Walked around a state park all day, and only one comment, a kid said "look! a camera gun!"

It has limited uses, only for very fast point and shoot situations, too heavy to old up for long, not that steady, haven't used it again, lol
