    – [Voiceover] Hey guys, it’s Alex C with TFBTV.

    Gun companies, like most organizations these days trying to sell you something, generally have some kind of catchy slogan or clever marketing buzzwords associated with their brand.

    However, we here at TFBTV think we’ve come up with a nice list that is a little more accurate than what you would find in a brochure at the shot show.

    I present Guns and Gun Manufacturers: Honest Marketing Slogans.

    Smith & Wesson: because Colt doesn’t make the Python anymore.

    Colt: bankruptcy is nothing but a word.

    we sell more novelties than Dairy Queen.

    Heckler & Koch: how much longer can we coast on our reputation from the ’80s? Glock: like the Toyota Camry.

    Good, reliable, and with no soul.

    Remington: when the bean counters triumph.

    Browning: we somehow convinced people to put our logo on even their girlfriend’s cars.

    Wilson Combat: we run on pure opulence.

    Calico: LSD and small arms design are, in fact, synonymous.

    Barrett: because it isn’t called the Bill of Needs.

    Beretta: buy a $100,000 shotgun from the guys who also make the M9.

    Sig: Swiss quality and craftsmanship, imported straight from New Hampshire.

    come for the pistols, stay for the long guns.

    proof that marketing is amazing.

    Steyr: what the hell is marketing? Walther: we used to make the PPK.

    Mauser: remember when we ruled the world? No? Oh, okay, never mind.

    Anyways guys, I hope you all enjoyed this.

    It’s just something kind of funny and fun that I put together in a relatively short amount of time.

    I think CZ got off a little too easy though.

    But we have nothing against any of these brands realistically.

    It’s just kind of fun to poke fun at some of these sometimes.

    Anyways, big thanks to Ventura Munitions.

    This is Alex C with TFBTV.

    Hope to see you next time.
