With 80,000-plus vendors, distributors, exhibitors, media members in attendance, all there to showcase, try out and report on the latest and greatest industry products, rumors spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n<p>I guess what happens is it\u2019s a giant game of telephone. People talk. And people listen. However, they don\u2019t often hear what\u2019s being said. Instead, they hear something else, which creates confusion and more confusion and then that confusion begins to crystallize into rumor. Or, people just flat-out lie, and the credulous folks at the show pass on those lies to other credulous folks, and on and on, until the show is abuzz with rumors.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we decided to write down and record some of the rumblings we heard from the show floor to humor ourselves. We couldn\u2019t help it. Some of them were too funny not to share. Here is a list of the top 10 rumors from SHOT Show 2016.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50943\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kimber-SHOT-Show-7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"shot-show-2016-rumors-we-wish-were-true\" title=\"10 Rumors From 2016 SHOT Show We Wish Were True\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50943\" title=\"10 Rumors From 2016 SHOT Show We Wish Were True\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kimber-SHOT-Show-7-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Sorry folks, can't put triangular bullets in there.  \" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kimber-SHOT-Show-7-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kimber-SHOT-Show-7-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kimber-SHOT-Show-7.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sorry folks, can&#8217;t put triangular bullets in there.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>1.

Hilarious. And, of course, not true.<\/p>\n<p>Hilarious. And, of course, not true.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2.

AK-12 ready for importation\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of AKs, the AK-12 is ready for importation, landing stateside sometime in early March.<\/p>\n<p>Hickok45 got himself an early look at the AK-12, but was unable to post the video because Youtube shut him down for violating a non-disclosure.<\/p>\n<p>Yup, don&#8217;t believe any of that.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5.
