5000 Rounds Fired
First off, this video requires some explanation. It’s actually a video test. And since every video needs a goal, for the purpose of the test; I held up my pistol and said, “Make a commercial about this gun”.
So they did.
The round counts shown here are real. You’ll notice I double tapped one plate since I wasn’t convinced it was a solid hit. So the sequence ended at 5001. Happens. By the time you see this video, the gun is well past 5000 logged rounds.
Disclaimers:
- Wilson Combat has nothing to do with this.
- The video is a make-work exercise.
- This is not a real commercial.
- Since the EDC X9L hit a milestone, I decided to publish it.
To reiterate…this was made for internal consumption. It’s a technical exercise demoing video and editing capabilities for John1911 staff; while also safely educating film people about running and gunning with live ammo.
Sincerely,
Marky
