Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current challenges for QVO Tactical during the pandemic?

QVO Tactical is facing challenges related to supply chain disruptions, particularly with ammunition availability. They are also adapting to business closures and adjusting their operations to maintain production and shipping schedules while ensuring customer orders are fulfilled.

What issues were encountered with Modern Arms International 300 Blackout ammunition?

The Modern Arms International 300 Blackout ammunition experienced significant zeroing issues and inconsistent sound suppression. This suggested variations in the powder load for each round, leading to unreliable accuracy, especially at longer distances like 220 yards.

How can airsoft guns be used for firearms training?

Airsoft guns, particularly blowback models, can be used to practice essential weapon manipulation skills such as drawing, presenting, working the handheld, and manipulating the weapon. While they don't replicate ballistics, they offer a safe and accessible way to maintain proficiency in fundamental tactical movements.

What is the status of QVO Tactical's lead times for orders?

QVO Tactical's lead times have typically been between 4 to 8 weeks. They are actively working to reduce this to 2 to 4 weeks. While Black Friday sales can temporarily extend lead times to 12 weeks, they aim to maintain current lead times and improve efficiency.
