KAC pic's?

**Kfgk14** · 01-21-12, 12:16

I'm in need of some pics of the new hotness at KAC. Am I just stupid, or did no one document the new releases from KAC?

KAC had a no photo policy. I saw some folks breaking this. When we talked with Trey and Kevin I politely put the lens cap on my camera (though I had a media pass).

Hence you're not seeing many photos out of certain booths. Surefire was much the same way.

Company preference and ITAR. The amount of asian airsoft reps running around at the show was pretty bad. They're also running around with rulers taking dimensions to go back and start producing copies.

Mark Fingar from Larue asked me not to take photos of their guns and I obliged. Generally even with a press pass the first thing I asked was "is it alright to get photos?"

Ah. I see. So an official outlet will give us the photos and coverage we want down the road?

Alright, I'll wait...and by that I mean KAC needs to post pics. Yesterday.

Thanks for the fill-in

Dude - I would have let you take some pics.

Chen should have a few since I looked down from a meeting once and saw him taking a few.

The photo policy is 2 fold:
First and Foremost with non US Citizens/Residents - we have an ITAR concern with people taking detailed picturers that can reveal proprietary data.
Secondly unless one has a good camera and a clear view - the pictures turn out poorly.

This year we had a media release CD with several different angles, and various aspects for our weapons line up.

D'oh I should have asked.

I'm sure Chen does have some. Kevin I would have asked but I didn't want to push my luck.

Yeah that wouldn't have been a concern regarding my camera.

Next year I'll grab some for sure. Thanks. The 14.5 looks great, and I'll be ordering one of those uppers to pin for a non-NFA SR-15 lower.

FYI this year accredited Media will be allowed to take pictures upon approval of Senior Management. Depending upon the volume of traffic in the booth will depend on how in depth we can be.
