I was trying to make the point that Rick was making, by saying that REAL marine grade stuff is badass, just like REAL tactical stuff has a good use and purpose. <br /><br />But both terms have been co-opted by posers and salesmen who want you to believe that their widget is better and more usefuller than the other guy's widget, when in fact all they are is black christmas ornaments designed to weigh your gun down and add a bunch of crap to snag it up on. <br /><br />I have some advice for any folks out there that want to learn about whether something is really tactical or not - take it with you on a northern idaho elk hunt. I do it all the time, and I can decide quickly which of the junk is coming with me or not, and about 90% of the crap these guys would lug along with them in a "tactical" situation would merely serve to slow them down and add more shit to catch on shit. <br /><br />As for true tactical firearms training, I think I can sum it up in a couple of sentences:<br /><br />1.) Find cover. Research into police shootings have shown that the guy that wins the fight is rarely the guy who shoots better. it's the guy who finds cover faster and uses it.<br /><br />2.) keep moving. Literally. Don't stop moving, ever.<br /><br />3.) Shoot the other guy while following the rules in 1 & 2.<br /><br />4.) Don't get shot. This includes not sticking your head out in the same place twice, like they do in Hollywood all the time, and also does not include your goal being to kill the bad guy - your goal should be to move away from the situation and wait for the cavalry unless you absolutely must move in for some reason. <br /><br />There. No charge. :)Goobernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-23659488029735746372012-05-15T20:06:11.859-04:002012-05-15T20:06:11.859-04:00I can state, with complete and absolute certainty,...I can state, with complete and absolute certainty, the real purpose of this Yiddish Rube Goldberg contraption.<br /><br />It was built for the sole purpose of driving sensible, logical gun owners crazy.<br /><br />Guess what? <br /><br />It succeeded. :D<br /><br />Cheers!Graysonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-30782110766172863682012-05-15T19:07:21.277-04:002012-05-15T19:07:21.277-04:00The problem with a Galil is finding a good one.

(Marine plywood, for instance, is badass stuff.) <br /><br />"Tactical" is a word that is wholly interchangeable with "cool" in modern lexicon, so that people can add ornaments to their gun like it's a christmas tree without having to admit that all that bling bling is just there to look cool, because, you know, it's "tactical". The word exists solely to convince posers that they aren't really posers.
