Red, Hector's trip to the Diana factory got me to thinking. He stated that Diana is not overly concerned about the US Market. Only a small percentage of their guns are sold here in the US. Now, the Europeans have a 12lb limit which in my opinion is the perfect higher poundage for a air gun anyway. Most Europeans do not shoot with a scoop. They seem to be a more refined shooter than the US counterpart that is mainly interested in HIGH VELOCITY! Let's face it. America is the land of "more is better" Bigger is Better" a Whooper is Better that a regular hamburger, a Big Gulp soda is better! WHY do you think Gamo started marketing their guns with the ridiculous Raptor Pellet? Because they GET IT! Faster is better in the American Market! Sell a cheap gun, put a cheap Butt Plate on the gun and cheap muzzle break, and sell the HELL OUT OF SPEED!! It's the Europeans that want Quality Red not the Americans.Remember the words of Wisdom from the Master:
"Forget massive power as that equates solely into massive problems. Accept a nice 11-12 ft lbs and you could have a real nice gun"!
This is what Diana should be marketing!JMO
