    Default did some testing with the bushnell

    Bushnell radar gun came in the mail today so I called a friend over to do some tests. Tested my old cobra XRS 9430, beltronics 795 , Rev. 5 X50 and my 9500ix. The X50 and the 9500ix detected the I/O K bursts well over 1500ft (the maximum range on the bushnell) around a curve the 9500ix was picking up the burst a good 500-800 feet before from according to my friend. I then tried forward facing I/O with the X50 and the 9500ix and the X50 didn't alert untill about 500-600 feet in front of the gun while the 9500ix was getting it around 1000 feet. The beltronics and the cobra almost had no early warning of the I/O ahead, forward or regular facing, my friend said he saw me way before the bel or cobra alerted. My friend said he didn't notice any differece in detection (X50 , 9500IX) with POP on.

    On a side note, with the bushnell at almost point blank range, the bel and cobra would only alert to K band when I held down the trigger for atleast 2 seconds and would never pick up any quick trigger pulls, only the X50 and the 9500ix would pick up the quick trigger pulls which is bad because I can easily get a speed reading with a quick trigger pull.

    Do you mean before the gun?

    And is this a new gun that just came out, because I've never even heard of it.

    Is it as deadly as 35.5 GE? Or even more deadly?

    Yes before the gun, sorry about that. This isn't a gun the police use it's just a regular handheld low powered radar gun that runs on K band, so there's no real threat from it. It's used for sports and pretty much anything that moves.
