    Hate it !

    Does anybody else hate it when "tactical rifles" are referred to as 'Sniper Rifles'
    this is so reticules. None here is a "Sniper",
    Why do we as a group continually referee to tactical rifles as "Sniper Rifles" or semi auto rifles as "AW's". Why is there even a reference to "TactiCool" when describing something that noone in the business would even have.
    Sounds like a bunch of children.
    You bring it on yourselves
    But thread after thread, post after post referees to the same.

    You kind of come off sounding like a jerk in this and the rambling is really just unclear. What exactly are you saying??

          Not as much as people calling their crv a jeep.
          I have no idea what the rest of your post means.

            "Assault weapon" is a legal term in California, just like "high capacity" magazines. That's reality.

            Tacti-cool implies exactly what you just said, something that's built to get wanabees all hot and bothered without actually being useful. What do you suggest we call it?

                      I hate it when people use words when they don't know the meaning of the word, or the proper spelling.

                        The proper use of capital letters is important also.

                        The difference between:

                        I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse.

                        and

                        i helped my uncle jack off a horse.

                        is significant.

                            I can't help it. OK, numb nuts. Some of us when in the service did have a B4 asi as part of their MOS. And we only call the actuall sniper rifles (like the ones in our C&R collection) that. So what is your point, and WTF are you trying to say. And drunken posting is never a good idea, btw.
