Sure it is the general public's own fault for not doing their homework. But I am really not attempting to assign blame. Just commenting on the fact that this redefinition has taken place as a result of the tremendous inaccuracy of many Cobra replicas. Regardless of where the responsibility lies, it is just an unfortunate fact that this has taken place.
