It's an absolute joke...it's been in development for 5 years, hundreds of thousads of dollars in deposits have been taken, only 10 have been delivered and none function right.

 

i wondered that- the article didn't paint a good picture even though they tried hard.

 

Ares has made plenty of enemies in the past few years. I have 3 friends that have had them on order since Ares first started taking deposits, so now every time Ares has on at SAR or SHOT it just pisses them off even more. Ares also has a gas piston retro fit that they have not shipped
