5.) Worship of a new gun design. VP9 is the latest offender, but there is a new one all the time. A gun that has zero track record, even a gun from an esteemed maker, should not immediately be thrown into the discussion about whether it's better than guns established as reliable and fundamentally sound design. The gun community is skeptical about so much, but for some reason not the latest popular gun. Even I hopped aboard the Remington R51 train at first, and we saw how fast that went south.
Including that strange little dude who crawled behind me and reached between my legs for brass on the floor while I was swapping mags.
For me it would be the idiot who starts his load development at MAX CHARGE and works up from there..
Fixed it for ya.
- People who use bacon grease to lube their firearms. Just makes me hungry in the next lane at the range.
I didn't know there was a war on about 6.8SPC & .300aac blackout.
To me, the .300aac blackout is far better for several reasons but if a gun owner/match shooter/hunter wants a 6.8SPC or a 5.56mm that's there choice.
The 7.62mm or 5.56mmx45mm will be around for decades. They are so engrained in US military, LE & hunting they won't be scraped any time soon
Shooting is a large hobby with lots of room for folks who have many different interests. Don't tread on me, and I won't tread on you.
The top three on my 'list' are people who do not follow the safety rules, know-it-alls, and those compelled to post lists of what firearm things annoy them.
Posts like the OP:
Feeling the need to complain about other people who are *gasp* interested in things you aren't.
Only your firearm-related interests are legitimate.
I mean, if you complained about "magazines" versus "clips," fine; you're obsessive-compulsive. Whatever. Instead, though, you're literally complaining that other people like things that you don't. Get over it.
