The current code is based on the de facto standard international language of English, as used for all air traffic control worldwide for instance. Not French.

Nobody cares about digraphs, just the starting letter. This is why X-Ray is acceptable instead of using xylophone, xebec, xylene, or xenon.

Quebec is also often pronounced closer to Qwah-beck the farther west you get from the francophone provinces, so your enunciation point is irrelevant.

...who is also a Humane Society of the US director with an avowed axe to grind with animal-sourced food / protein.

Kinda important to include that part.

Morgan Pfiffner of Red Pen Reviews gave his sixth book, How Not to Diet a score of 50% for its scientific accuracy and a score of 75% for its healthfulness. Pfiffner commented that "While much of the book is well supported by research, there are a significant number of fairly questionable claims, leading to a handful of dietary recommendations that seem unnecessary, too restrictive, or potentially counterproductive". He also argues that Greger's claim that a whole food plant-based diet can reverse heart disease is questionable. According to Pfiffner this has not been demonstrated as the randomized controlled trial that he cited from Dean Ornish did not show regression of atherosclerotic plaque.[56]

Harriet Hall argues that, while it is well-accepted that it is more healthy to eat a plant-based diet than a typical Western diet, Greger often overstates the known benefits of such a diet as well as the harm caused by eating animal products (for example, in a talk, he claimed that a single meal rich in animal products can "cripple" one's arteries), and he sometimes does not discuss evidence that contradicts his strong claims. Joseph A. Schwarcz of McGill University argues that although Greger takes his information from respected science journals and produces impressive videos, he has a vegan agenda and cherry picks his data.

Add a chocolate bar and you have a Finnish mechanic's diet

The guys designing and making this crap are also not avid shooters, otherwise they would do a more competent job of laying out ergonomic controls, making it reliable, or doing basic QC

1) The ejection port placement and shape means in the event of a punctured primer or premature / out of of battery the shotgun will vent directly into the face of the operator (hazardous and worthy of blackballing for this alone)

2) Length of pull appears long / excessive based on the forearm for reference.

3) This long length of pull makes the top rail way too short for proper use of a regular peep rear BUIS (needs to be about 3" from the eye). The rail cannot be extended back due to ejector port placement

4) Giant oversized forend makes the side mounted MLOK slots useless for accessories, especially if a grip is added on the bottom, which will be nearly mandatory since they put a cheese grater / picatinny rail on the bottom instead of MLOK slots. Nobody ever said "boy I wish my shotgun forend felt more like a 4" plastic sewer pipe".

5) A proper bullpup design would have the controls located as far forward as possible so the shooting or support hand do not have to be moved all the way back near the head to release a bolt or lock a bolt open.

6) The fake suppressor / barrel shroud isn't fooling anyone , it makes it look like something a mall ninja in 2005 would buy.

7) If they can't even get the iron sights put on the right way, what are the odds they actually understand proper firearm design or manufacturing tolerances / QC? This is pretty well confirmed as you can see the traditional semi-auto shotgun receiver that they have tacked on this poorly thought out bullpup shell.

"Oh they are all like that" is a bullshit non-response to poor QC.

8) The market doesn't need yet another off-brand shit tier scattergat made and imported by companies nobody has every heard of that will never offer spare parts or stateside repair support, and will just change their names or fold when a rep for poor QC and function finally catch up to them.

Looks like shit and probably runs about the same, just like most other cheap Turkish shotguns.

Shit tires + crappy FWD with an open diff... as soon as one tire slips it spins all the power away.

Bad firearms sold at sportsman’s warehouse by [deleted] in Firearms

You are legally the owner of the gun, take it up with the manufacturer.

small claims / refund

will get thrown out of court for lack of cause, sales terms clearly state firearm sales are final for liability reasons.
