Sorry, but when Volkswagen had to pay $2.8 billion for cheating US emmission tests (in summery more than 25 billion) the 1 Billion for killing people look like a bargain. If they would be treated like Volkswagen they would need to pay Trillions.

As this being an R8 conversation: please note that even though in Europe (Blaser being a German company) many people are ordering a threaded barrel this always comes with a premium to a non-threaded one as it adds additional costs (not only threading the barrel but you need to proof the barrels...

There are many countries in Africa where surpressors are not allowed with Namibia and South Africa being an exception. This is something which could be added to the "Hunting info by country" section of this forum by the way.

Are you serious? Solving a problem and making money at the same time? Those times are long gone.

Interesting introduction. I've never used dark continent as an expression for Africa before but now I probably will :p.

This is an update recently made under Baerbock's ruling (greeny). The EU regulation is existing since 2004 and doesn't support this interpretation and no similar statement has been made for about 18y now. If germany didn't issue a national law which would support this Interpretation (they would...
