Who the h*ll is Chris Costa??

Chris Costa, along with Travis Haley, were instructors with Magpul Dynamics, and the "stars" of the Magpul-series videos, "Art of the Tactical Carbine", "Art of the Dynamic Handgun", "Art of the Dynamic Shotgun", "Art of the Precision Rifle" and "Aerial Platform Operations".

These two are probably the most "high-profile" faces of the black rifle industry, and closest thing to "superstars celebrities" that the gun industry has.

Haley is ex Force Recon Marine and ex-Blackwater and Costa is ex-Coast Guard. They both have now parted ways with Magpul and run their own separate consulting companies.

There is a large fan base for these videos, along with deserved/undeserved hero worship for these two skilled instructors. There are many jokes about Costa's beard.
 
Google suggests this Travis Haley fellow may be, err, creative.

But who cares, if he can make decent chili.
 
I think this is great. It gets firearms into new markets: Kids, hobbyists, and who knows who else. People that might never consider firearms. On a shelf right next to Batman and Ironman! Anti gunner parent says unknowingly, “Sure I'll buy you Costa.” The re education begins....


Also, the companies already make action figures of all sorts of superficial socialites. I'd much rather action figures of real people with real skills. I am against celebrity culture, but we are fools if we think it will go away because we ignore it. We need to back this and push for Haley and Clint, Stroud and Hood, Bear and Hathcock... :D

Better than this "brony" crap. And here I thought Emo's were bad...
 
Costa was basically coast guard special forces ( sounds laughable ) but he worked Anti-narco, smuggling, trafficking etc.
not just some deck hand who fancies himself a badass.

theres an inverview somewhere out there ( Milspec monkey i think ) of him talking about the action figure ( it wasnt his idea to create it either ) .. and hes pretty grounded about the whole thing.
 
I want a LAV figure........

I feel like it's back in the early eighties when I was young kid trying to get a Tie Fighter pilot figure from Star Wars..hahha...lol

Remember these are for show guys, not for kids they fall apart very easily.....

Oh I get it, he's kinda like the Chuck Norris of the Black Rifle industry.

such as Chuck Norris counted to Infinity.. twice
or Chuck Norris doesn't sleep. He waits
or Chuck Norris' motto is "The beard is mightier than the sword"
or Chuck Norris was the only kid in kindergarten class with a beard.
or even, There is no chin behind Chuck Norris beard, only another fist.
 
So a guy works hard at his chosen profession. Learns a few things, sees a few things, does a few things. Gets offered a dream job, to do something most of his buddies would give their left nut for. He jumps at the chance, and then gets told he's going to be in a video, which really isn't his thing, but hey he's makin' money, so what the hell? Damned if the dude doesn't look cool on film. He get's wildly popular in his chosen profession. Haters start to hate and fan-boys cling his nuts....but he's banking good green now. Then somebody offers to make a doll of him and give him a bunch more money to do it. He thinks, WTF?. His likeness is already all over the internet, so who cares? Haters will continue to hate and fan-boys continue to hug nuts. And he still does what he loves, and he's still putting dollars in the bank. More dollars than the haters and the nut huggers.

Um, where's the problem here?
