Ha ha. But an eye patch looks very cool and piratety ... if one's dominant shooting eye however it is a major pain.

Actually I had an eye patch for a couple weeks or so once. IT IS A MAJOR PAIN. As one looses all depth judgement. If walking a person has to estimate how far away a chair is, otherwise it is easy to walk into things. If driving one estimates how many car lengths the vehicle in front is, or the tunr is. It is no longer automatic. Binocular vision is essential for depth anmd distance estimation. I guess with time one gets used to be a one eyed Blazer shooter ...

The loosing eye stuff I reported came from an Austrian friend and member in the past. He used to say it was common for the Blaser to be called the ":rausch-bombe" (or some such spelling) in Gemrnay and Austria and on German language forums and websites.

Marketing kept the R93 out of the blown up face Top Ten lists.

The R08 was undoubtably designed to overcome the R93 reputation and hopefully also the dangerous design flaws.

Have to look at your videos. No doubt they will be entertaining.
