Being the 'new kid on the block' (pun intended), I'll think waiting for an in-depth review to help decide if a purchase is forthcoming.

The new brand name "16.02" is interesting. What is the story behind the choice of this name?

No idea about why he chose that designation as brand name though.

Nice Flak gun; looking forward to a review. Here's hoping that he'll offer a credible Leopard 16.02 in the near-future as well.
