So basically when you go to http://www.google.com/shopping and search for say 7.62x39 you'd see something like this comparing prices and whatnot:

Well that's about to stop happening in the very very near future

We need a weapons only search engine.

We could call it "Bang."

This just sounds like a good opportunity for other websites to do what Google was doing. Hopefully it will push those products out to companies like gun-deals.

I rarely use google for gun/ammo stuff anyway. I use slickguns.com and gun-deals.com everyday.

Bing is Microsoft. Yeah, there's a bastion of conservatism.

Yeah, I know. The "Bang" suggestion was a feeble attempt at humor and a play on the name "Bing."

Not feeble at all. I lol'd. Ask my wife. I just didn't know if you knew about those sites. Some don't.

I have the same love/hate thing going with Sam's. Love saving money, but when I go in with a list of 8 items and walk out $400 later.......

I hear that. I really like the way google was set up. I also use slickguns and gun-deals, probably more than google, but google shopping was a good setup as well.
