Well said!Well at almost 60 years of age(next birthday April 13th) and over 40 years of shooting,collecting and even being a licensed dealer I think the immature and short sighted part has been ruled out. I got my first AR 20 years ago simply because I wanted one. Never did find out what the big deal was. Have no desire for a 1911 preferring d/a semi-auto handguns. I believe everyone should get what they like for whatever reason they like but I also believe fan boys should acknowledge that their choice isn't everyone's choice and that those who don't share their choice aren't some kind of immature,short sighted neophyte who just doesn't know any better .
Well said, sir!ARs and Glocks have suffered due to the antics of fan boys. I dislike them for many reasons but one of the biggest is that you cannot post a thread about Ruger Minis or any other semi-auto rifle without AR fan boys hijacking it. Same with Glocks but not quite as bad. Sorry there is no way to address this without naming names.
No. I buy stuff based on their merit, and how they fit my situation(s), whatever that may be. Don't care about fanboys. Give you a couple of examples. Magpul makes many good stuff. But, the BAD lever and the AFG are just ridiculous, to me.Has fanboy behavior ever turned you off a gun or accessory?
O, well I guess not, beings I never heard of it, I don`t follow the norm or care what the norm does, or pay any attention to all the hoopla..........So to answer the OP`s question, NO !
Because others really like them and say so?
I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!
Leaving brand names out of it, has the fanboy phenomena ever had a reverse psychology effect on you?
.I guess I'm now part of the anti "anti fanboy, fanboy" club
I agree, except for me it is Ruger - had enough bad experiences with a variety of their products -but go explaining that, and everyone wants you censored and silenced
But what's funny to me is that if I mentioned any other gun, you probably wouldn't have said a word. Thanks for reinforcing one of the reasons behind my decision.

I would. Then I would turn around and sell the stupid thing to help pay for something I actually wanted.I am so tired of hearing about Mosin Nagants that it is not even funny. I wouldn't take one if someone gave it to me for free.

I am old enough that I have pretty fixed ideas of what operating systems and calibers I like. I earned this education through shooting, the older I get the less I am swayed by the herd instinct or group think.
