I hate these kinds of ad campaigns. Either tell me something useful or go away and stop wasting my time. These kinds of campaigns are also really dumb because they really can't end in anything but disappointment as what I'm imagining as a good product never lines up with their idea of a good product.

The only problem with this kind of teaser campaign, is that when the Xplor is finally revealed, we're all going to be massively let down. Because let's face it, it's either going to be a rifle, shotgun or pistol. If the Xplor does turn out to be an unbelievably fantastic, next generation, magnetic linear accelorated plasma machine gun - then I will happily come on here and apologize.
