I've been seeing some ads about the new 450 Bushmaster round nicked named the "Thumper". Now I actually like the round, the weapon it is used in and nearly everything except the advertising gimmick.
It is nicked named the "Thumper" after a mythical cartridge/weapon that Col. Cooper envisioned years ago and wrote about in one of his articles, which is all well and good. The problem is that Bushmaster portrays in their ad like Col. Cooper endorsed this cartridge as the one he wrote about, which is just BS. I doubt Jeff would ever have approved of this type of ad and I can't believe any of his immediate family would either.
It offends me what some outfits will try after someone is gone just to make a buck $$$ in thier name...
