Hornet or Fake Hornet question

[Neogenocide]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to determine the difference between a real hornet and a fake hornet. I've searched on here for "fake hornet" and really didn't come up with a whole lot comparison wise. If anyone could point me in the right direction here I would appreciate it. I'm referencing purple hornet's specifically.

The reason I ask is I just got a frag from the LFS that was labeled purple hornet, but the price was too good to be true. I really don't care if they are or not, I like the frag either way, but would like to know just for my knowledge.

Thanks,

Scott

Throw up a picture on here....


If you are lucky they sold you a blue hornet as those look better than the purples IMO :celeb1:

I will hopefully do so this evening if it opens up. I just brought it home over lunch today, it was a unmounted frag, so I ended up fragging it again to get 2 nice frags from it.

That's pretty much the way I play the game. I don't get stuck on names, I buy what I like the looks of. I was just curious if that's what I actually got or not. :thumbsup:

As you can tell from the pic, I forgot about one important feature when looking at them. Oh well, still a cool color that I don't have in the tank.
