When you can accurately define "liberal," or much of any other catch-as-can single wordy-thing these days, you're well on your way to "tactical."
I'd be hard-pressed to argue the point of anyone darned stealthy & a Bearcat versus some yahoo-hack with the latest whiz-bang "sniper-wonder."
Guess I'd take my chances against the "sniper" anyday. I'd rather not be hunted by someone who knows what they're all about with a goodly wrist-rocket.
As with anything hunting, it's so much more about the skill-set of the person than the gun.
"Tactical" is as much in the head as is "weapon."
You'll get a different answer from one who wears a "flower-shirt."

In all seriousness, I consider 'tactical' a loose synonym for 'combat', i.e. the environment that the black or twotone thingy is to be used, as opposed to sport, hunting, bullseye, bench, etc.
Or something.
Whatever!
Or something.
Whatever!
Guerilla tactics don't have much to do with black nomex, knee pads or gargoyle wraparound goggles.
Last I checked, sharpened sticks in a pit was a "tactical option" employed against technologically superior foes.
And a "Tactical Nuclear Weapon" was a low yield battle field bomb, as opposed to a city-erasing Nuclear warhead.
So what does this have to do with firearms? Nothing––not a darn thing.
You can buy all the nomex and choate you want, it doesn't mean a thing without real practice and training.
My elk rifle has a black plastic stock, but that doesn't make it 'tactical'.
Funny how all those tactical-minded "operators" over in Afghanistan weren't wearing a lick of black nomex. Was it "tactical" to carry an AK and ride a horse? Yup, apparently so. It was also "tactical" to grow a beard and look like the locals. Never saw that discussed as a "tactical option" on the rifle boards, though I myself grow one every fall.
Tactics= small unit actions, Strategy=bigger picture stuff.
Me, I'm going for the bigger market by introducing the new line of Strategic© Wear for the "now" operator.
Nomex is passe.. everyone knows when you are sitting in a bunker halfway across the world lobbing smart rocks at nenaderthals you can wear cuban heels and a tomato colored jumpsuit.
Our new line of Strategic© rifles will be fired from orbit and can pinpoint a gnat's bum in a full blackout. Of course, Strategic© Sniper Gear will be a festive Hawaiian shirt and Big Kahuna straw hat. You don't really need to stay concealed when shooting from orbit, right? Strategic© pajamas are designed to make you feel as safe and luxurious as your reinforced grotto. Visions of sugarplum laden Strategic© bombers crossing the pole to enact your global policies will flow easliy when wrapped in my patented silk Strategic© sheets.
Sure, the Strategic© line is more expensive than "Tactical black", but I'm aiming for a consumer with a larger world view.
Have we beaten this horse to death yet?
